Braverman sacked as home secretary after policing row
Suella Braverman has been sacked as home secretary as Rishi Sunak reshuffles his cabinet.
The prime minister asked Braverman to leave his government this morning, which she accepted. James Cleverly has been swiped from the Foreign Office to replace her, with former PM David Cameron the surprise new foreign secretary.
Braverman's sacking follows her failure to get approval from No.10 for an article published in The Times last week that accused the police of bias in the policing of pro-Palestinian protest marches. It also comes ahead of a Supreme Court ruling on the government's controversial plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda on 15 November.
Braverman also prompted fury by claiming that homelessness was a "lifestyle choice", prompting complaints from a number of Conservative MPs.
