Why does she need the excuse at all? Couldn't she say she was resigning over a matter of principle about the u-turns since her letter is full of it?

She should have divulged it to hedge funds at a champagne reception.

Here is Downing Street's version of why @SuellaBraverman's security breach was a sacking offence.

1) the information she sent out related to a new policy to let in more high skilled workers, and stimulate growth - which was relevant to the @OBR_UK
assessment of how fast the economy will grow and was therefore price sensitive (it was highly confidential till announced by Jeremy Hunt on 31 Oct says source)

2) it was sent out using the private email server on Braverman's phone (an accident, says Braverman)

3) it was sent to a...Tory MP who is not a member of the government and also ended up with someone not even an MP because Braverman put in the wrong address in the CC email box (and it was this person who shopped Braverman).

As Dominic Cummings points out, under Johnson plenty of ministers used private servers to routinely send sensitive info to all sorts of people who aren't members of the government. Which is why Braverman and her MP supporters complain she has been stitched up by Truss as part of a coup by the Tory left.

This is now individual manoeuvring. Truss’ government is toxic and is unlikely to last a few weeks.

Braverman probably wants a position in the next PM’s cabinet, better to jump now.

I don't know what's worse - yet another poor Prime Minister tediously put in place with policies not resembling those BoJo won the election on, or Truss limping on as she is with a cabinet of buffoons.

If the Conservative Party was a pet, you'd take it to the vets to get it put down. It's a real hits show.

Almost certainly. I wonder who decided Shapps should be in - Acting PM Hunt? If there’s a Sunak/Mordaunt/Hunt coup in the offing that could be good for his career.

That would almost certainly seem to be the ticket going forward, I don’t know how they get there constitutionally, though.

Less like U-turns, more like doughnutting…
