Re: Liz Truss [Prime Minister]

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.
