In November 2023, Braverman proposed new laws in England and Wales to limit the use of tents by homeless people, stating that many of them see it as "a lifestyle choice". She said the government would always support those who were genuinely homeless, but planned to stop "those who cause nuisance and distress to other people by pitching tents in public spaces, aggressively begging, stealing, taking drugs, littering and blighting our communities."

In May 2023, Braverman spoke at the National Conservatism Conference in London. In her speech, she stated that immigration threatened the country's "national character", and that Britons should be trained to do the jobs where immigrants are currently employed. She also expressed opposition to what she referred to as "radical gender ideology".{{cite news |last=Dearden |first=Lizzie |date=19 May 2023 |title=The ultra-conservative American radicals infiltrating the Tory party |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/conservative-party-conference-suella-braverman-michael-gove-b2341890.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230519075029/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/conservative-party-conference-suella-braverman-michael-gove-b2341890.html |archive-date=19 May 2023 |access-date=19 May 2023 |work=Independent}}{{cite news |last=Rachman |first=Joseph |date=18 May 2023 |title=From hecklers to Holocaust: Strangest moments from National Conservatism Conference |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/national-conservatism-conference-mogg-starkey-b2340669.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230519094652/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/national-conservatism-conference-mogg-starkey-b2340669.html |archive-date=19 May 2023 |access-date=19 May 2023 |work=Independent}}{{cite web |date=15 May 2023 |title=Braverman Says Immigration Threatens UK 'National Character' |url=https://uk.style.yahoo.com/sunak-faces-pressure-uk-home-085008075.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230519114055/https://uk.style.yahoo.com/sunak-faces-pressure-uk-home-085008075.html |archive-date=19 May 2023 |access-date=19 May 2023 |website=uk.style.yahoo.com}}

Braverman has criticised multiculturalism, saying that it allowed people to "come to our society and live parallel lives in it" and that it "makes no demands of the incomer to integrate".

Writing for The Daily Telegraph in a February 2025 article titled "I will never be truly English", Braverman argued that despite being born and educated in England, she is not English and "cannot claim to be". She asserted that the English national identity "must be rooted in ancestry, heritage, and, yes, ethnicity – not just residence or fluency". Describing herself as British Asian, she said that she doesn't "feel English" because she has "no generational ties to English soil", and asked whether it would take five or six generations "before one can claim to be English".{{Cite news |last=Braverman |first=Suella |date=2025-02-26 |title=I will never be truly English: here is why |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02/26/i-will-never-be-truly-english-here-is-why-suella-braverman/ |access-date=2025-02-27 |work=The Telegraph |language=en-GB |issn=0307-1235}} These comments drew sharp criticism from Sathnam Sanghera, Sunder Katwala and Jolyon Maugham, among others.{{Cite web |date=2025-02-27 |title=Suella Braverman Bewilders People After Claiming She 'Will Never Be Truly English' |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/suella-braverman-stuns-for-not-truly-english-remark_uk_67c02843e4b00e46454b986e |access-date=2025-02-27 |website=HuffPost UK |language=en}} Katwala pointed out that despite her call to "defend Judeo-Christian civilization", Braverman's position would mean that the large majority of British Jews could not be English. Ian Dunt said: "It's the view of almost everyone in this country that you can be English without being white". Conservative former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel affirmed that they do consider themselves English, with Sunak saying that he found Braverman and Kisin's position "ridiculous".{{Cite web |last=Allegretti |first=Aubrey |date=2025-03-05 |title=Rishi Sunak: Suella Braverman saying we're not English is ridiculous |url=https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/rishi-sunak-british-suella-braverman-fzpg3hj66 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250305171923/https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/rishi-sunak-british-suella-braverman-fzpg3hj66 |archive-date=2025-03-05 |access-date=2025-03-05 |website=The Times |language=en}}{{Cite news |last=Adu |first=Aletha |last2= |first2= |date=2025-03-05 |title='Stop the boats' slogan was too stark, says Rishi Sunak |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/mar/05/stop-the-boats-slogan-was-too-stark-admits-rishi-sunak |access-date=2025-03-05 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}

She quoted Eric Posner's theories on what the Brazilian state sees as its right to use torture by "the police in the name of crime prevention. They justify this by putting a general right to live free from crime and intimidation above the rights of those who are tortured." She concluded,{{cite news |last=Fernandes |first=Suella |title=Britain is so obsessed with human rights that we have forgotten responsibilities |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/12053319/Britain-is-so-obsessed-with-human-rights-it-has-forgotten-about-human-duties.html |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=16 December 2015 |url-access=subscription |access-date=10 September 2020 |archive-date=27 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927200438/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/12053319/Britain-is-so-obsessed-with-human-rights-it-has-forgotten-about-human-duties.html}}

In a May 2022 interview with The Times, Braverman said that schools do not have to accommodate requests from students who wish to change how others recognise their gender, including the use of the pronouns, uniforms, lavatories and changing facilities of their identified gender if it differs from their sex. She argued that, legally, under-18s are entitled to be treated only by the gender corresponding to their sex and that the "unquestioning approach" adopted by some teachers and schools is the reason different parts of the country have very different rates of children presenting as transgender. Some of her statements have been criticised by trans advocates as transphobic.{{cite journal |last=Waters |first=Adele |date=28 October 2022 |title=GP condemns UK cabinet for being the "most anti-inclusive and phobic" for generations |url=https://www.bmj.com/lookup/doi/10.1136/bmj.o2603 |journal=BMJ |volume=379 |pages=o2603 |doi=10.1136/bmj.o2603 |pmid=36307135 |s2cid=253184855 |issn=1756-1833}}{{cite news |url=https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/parents-and-teachers-fears-for-trans-kids-after-bravermans-evil-speech/ |title=Ignore Braverman's 'dangerous' anti-trans talk, schools told |last=Ferreira |first=Lou |date=16 August 2022 |website=openDemocracy |access-date=7 August 2023 |archive-date=7 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230807131446/https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/parents-and-teachers-fears-for-trans-kids-after-bravermans-evil-speech/ |url-status=live }} On 13 March 2024, Braverman wrote an article for The Telegraph in which she discussed J.

Private Eye also reported that her MP's website had said that she was involved "in the lengthy Guantanamo Bay Inquiry into the treatment of detainees by US and UK forces", although her name does not appear in the inquiry report, and suggested she may merely have been one of scores of lawyers who had sifted through documents.

In May 2023, it was reported that, following an incident where she was caught speeding by police while she was Attorney General for England and Wales, Braverman asked whether civil servants could arrange for her an option to take a driving awareness course as a private one-to-one session rather than the standard group course with other motorists. They refused, and reported the request to the Cabinet Office. Braverman then asked one of her political aides to assist her, who asked the course providers whether aliases could be used with online courses and whether cameras could be switched off. The providers said those options were not available.{{cite web |title=Suella Braverman asked civil servants to help her dodge speeding fine |url=https://www.thetimes.com/article/f247693a-f71d-11ed-8aec-1014d109ef78?shareToken=883aa13304b8f973ca031f52d4527e1c |website=The Times | date=21 May 2023 |access-date=21 May 2023 |url-access=subscription |archive-date=21 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230521091956/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/f247693a-f71d-11ed-8aec-1014d109ef78?shareToken=883aa13304b8f973ca031f52d4527e1c |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last1=Connett |first1=David |title=20 May 2023 Braverman 'asked civil servants for help' after being caught speeding |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/may/20/braverman-asked-civil-servants-for-help-after-being-caught-speeding |work=The Guardian |access-date=21 May 2023 |archive-date=21 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230521002243/https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/may/20/braverman-asked-civil-servants-for-help-after-being-caught-speeding |url-status=live }}

The Liberal Democrats and Labour, which suggested the matter could be a breach of the ministerial code, called for an inquiry by the prime minister's independent adviser on ministerial interests and "ethics chief", Sir Laurie Magnus. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that after consulting Magnus, he had decided that further investigation was not necessary, and that the incident did not constitute a breach of the Ministerial Code.{{cite news |last1=Stacey & Allegretti |title=24 May 2023 Suella Braverman will not face investigation over speeding course claims |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/may/24/suella-braverman-will-not-face-investigation-over-speeding-claims-rishi-sunak |work=The Guardian |access-date=24 May 2023 |archive-date=24 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230524103059/https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/may/24/suella-braverman-will-not-face-investigation-over-speeding-claims-rishi-sunak |url-status=live }}
