Braverman has faced criticism for her strong rhetoric on immigration and asylum, with some critics accusing her of using inflammatory language. Her policies and public statements on these issues have often sparked debate and controversy.

Her resignation in October 2022 was triggered by a breach of the ministerial code for sending an official document from her personal email address. This incident raised questions about her judgment and adherence to government regulations.

Her article criticizing the police handling of protests sparked controversy and was seen as undermining the independence of the police force. This ultimately led to her dismissal as Home Secretary.

Braverman has faced accusations of using 'dog-whistle politics' - employing coded language that appears innocuous to the general population but communicates more sensitive issues to a specific subgroup – particularly in relation to race and immigration.
