Braverman’s savage attack on Sunak ahead of Rwanda deportation ruling - live

Suella Braverman sacked as home secretary by Rishi Sunak after pro-Palestine march row

Suella Braverman launched a blistering attack on Rishi Sunak last night after being sacked as home secretary for a series of controversial and highly inflammatory remarks about homeless people and the police.

Ms Braverman accused the prime minister of “betrayal” and failing to deliver on key policy areas such as illegal migration, in an explosive letter designed to cause him maximum damage.

She also accused Mr Sunak, who she described as “weak”, of leaving the country in an “impossible position” with no “credible Plan B” just hours before a crunch court ruling on his flagship Rwanda plan.

The Supreme Court will on Wednesday decide whether or not the government’s controversial plan to send migrants to Rwanda, which has been under review for  18 months, is lawful. Ongoing legal battles have meant there have yet to be any migrants sent to the East African nation under the policy.
