Read our privacy policy Rishi Sunak has sacked Suella Braverman as Home Secretary following chaotic scenes in London over the weekend and her unauthorised article criticising the police’s handling of pro-Palestinian protests. Mrs Braverman, who has often appeared to be a loose cannon in Mr Sunak’s Cabinet, accepted her dismissal but – often outspoken as a minister – promised she would have “more to say in due course”. Her first spell as home secretary culminated in her effective dismissal for leaking confidential cabinet papers to right-wing backbencher Sir John Hayes, a long-serving MP reported to have significant sway with Mrs Braverman. Back at the Home Office, Mrs Braverman proved a thorn in Mr Sunak’s side, with the Prime Minister forced to distance himself from her language on several occasions.
