LONDON: Former British Home Secretary Suella Braverman has delivered a scathing resignation letter accusing Rishi Sunak of “betrayal” after being ousted as Home Secretary in a significant cabinet reshuffle.
Her departure followed allegations of Metropolitan Police bias in handling pro-Palestine protests. In her resignation, posted on her X feed, Braverman claimed Sunak “manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver” on key policies, asserting his “distinctive style of government means you are incapable of doing so.”
She stated, “Either your distinctive style of government means you are incapable of doing so. Or, as I must surely conclude now, you never had any intention of keeping your promises.”
Following Braverman’s dismissal, Sunak appointed former Prime Minister Lord David Cameron as foreign minister. The Tory right threatens a revolt, suggesting that Braverman’s supporters may submit letters of no confidence, potentially triggering a leadership vote against Sunak.
