Rishi Sunak Sacks UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has dismissed Suella Braverman from her role as UK Home Secretary for the second time in over a year. Braverman was previously forced out by Liz Truss for sending confidential information from a private email. Sunak reinstated her six days later, a move seen as rewarding her support against Boris Johnson. Despite her role in delivering Sunak's pledge to stop small boat crossings, Braverman's controversial actions, including describing homelessness as a 'lifestyle choice' and an unauthorized article accusing police bias and comparing Gaza ceasefire marches to Northern Ireland protests, led to tensions. The article was blamed for inflaming far-right clashes on Armistice Day. James Cleverly replaced Braverman as Home Secretary, and David Cameron became Foreign Secretary. Other cabinet reshuffles are expected. Critics like Jess Phillips labelled Braverman the worst home secretary in living memory.
