Oliver Dowden has been pressed on why only a select handful of media outlets were invited on Suella Braverman’s trip to Rwanda.

Concerns have been raised over the home secretary’s trip out to East Africa after only a select few media outlets were invited to cover it.

Media representatives from outlets including GB News, the Daily Mail, Times, Express and The Telegraph were given access to the trip, while the BBC, The Independent, The Guardian, Daily Mirror and i were not invited.

Those on the trip have proceeded to print favourable coverage of it, with this Telegraph piece making the rounds on social media last week.
