Fareham MP Suella Braverman sacked as Home Secretary
The Prime Minister is having a Cabinet reshuffle
Fareham MP Suella Braverman has been sacked as Home Secretary.
The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to reshuffle his Cabinet later today.
A No 10 source said the Prime Minister “asked Suella Braverman to leave Government and she has accepted”.
The Conservatives said Mr Sunak is carrying out a wider reshuffle which “strengthens his team in Government to deliver long-term decisions for a brighter future”.
But sacking one of the leading figures on the Tory right could pose difficulties for the Prime Minister as he seeks to get his party united behind him and ready for a general election expected next year.
