Rishi Sunak has been branded "weak" after he was confronted by Keir Starmer over his re-appointment of Suella Braverman as Home Secretary following her sacking last week. The Conservative leader faced the Labour leader during his first outing in the House of Commons at Prime Minister's Questions after he replaced Liz Truss in Downing Street.
Braverman was re-appointed yesterday after Liz Truss sacked her from the Home Office after she breached the ministerial code when she sent a sensitive email from a personal account to a fellow Tory MP. Starmer argued the "Tories have crashed the economy", asking: "Those with broadest shoulders must step up, does he agree?"
He said: "We can all see what's happened here. He's so weak, he's done a grubby deal trading national security because he was scared to lose another leadership election. There's a new Tory at the top but as always with them party first, country second.
