Cabinet reshuffle: Suella out, Cameron in
 

Rishi Sunak sacks Suella Braverman as home secretary as he begins reshuffle
Monday 13 November 2023 08:45, UK

Suella Braverman has been sacked as home secretary.

Last week she wrote a newspaper article that criticised the Metropolitan Police's handling of a controversial pro-Palestinian march for Armistice Day.

The prime minister came under pressure to act after Ms Braverman was accused of undermining the operational independence of - and public confidence in - the police.

Critics - from both opposition parties and fellow Tory MPs - called Ms Braverman's comments "offensive" and "inflammatory".

In a piece for The Times, Ms Braverman accused the police of "playing favourites" with how it handles controversial protests by showing a more lenient attitude to left-wing protesters than their right-wing counterparts.

She ramped up her attacks on those attending pro-Palestinian demonstrations - likening them to Protestant marches in Northern Ireland - comments that were labelled "wholly offensive" and "ignorant" by one former Tory cabinet minister.

This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

It's easy to kick Braverman now she's down, but I think we should take a moment to remember all the excellent things she's done in her career, like...

Rejection of the swivel eyed loons and back to the centre ground? Too little, too late.

Interesting stament from no 10:-.
“Rishi Sunak has asked Suella Braverman to leave government and she has accepted.”
What if she declined? :confused:

Re: Braverman Sacked
 

From the Guardian...

'Braverman says she will have 'more to say in due course', implying she does not plan to accept her sacking quietly
According to PA Media, Suella Braverman has said:

It has been the greatest privilege of my life to serve as home secretary … I will have more to say in due course.

That implies she is working on a blistering “resignation” speech, which is unlikely to be comfortable reading for Rishi Sunak.'

Clearly nobody on the backbenches wants to postpone their future career prospects by serving their country.
