The Home Secretary has been under fire for comments last weekend where she said homelessness is a choice for some - which has sparked a furious backlash.And Gloucester MP Richard Graham sparked off a huge spat when he hit out at the Home Secretary in an internal chat, LBC can reveal.Ms Braverman said last weekend: "We cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice.
"Jill Mortimer replied: "Nice bit of unity there - what about that tone?"What you have tweeted is more akin to washing dirty linen."Gloating and sharing an anti-Home Secretary tweet on a Home Office WhatsApp group was probably not the brightest decision by our gentle colleague."And Tory Deputy Chair Lee Anderson added: "Quite right Tom. I thought we were supposed to criticise the opposition, not one of our own. Maybe I got this politics all wrong.
