Following the news that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had sacked Home Secretary Suella Braverman this morning, Downing Street has confirmed a huge cabinet reshuffle within the UK government.
Braverman faced backlash last week following an article in The Times in which she accused the Metropolitan Police of political bias during protests, with the piece running in the publication just days before the Armistice Day protests in London. Shortly after it was published, Braverman was criticised for stoking tensions and was officially fired on Monday morning. Downing Street confirmed she would 'depart from government' as The Guardian reports that an initial draft of her article was submitted to them - as is standard for any ministers - but that she had not complied with the edits. However, Sky News has since reported that it was her comments on homelessness being a 'lifestyle choice' which ultimately led to her dismissal.
