RISHI Sunak reinstalled Suella Braverman at the helm of the Home Office because he wants an “experienced” Home Secretary, James Cleverly has said, despite her having been in the post for only six weeks before she was forced to quit over a breach of the ministerial code.
The Foreign Secretary told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “The Prime Minister clearly wants to make sure that he has experience at the top of the Home Office. That’s why he’s reappointed her.”
Asked if Braverman displayed the “integrity, professionalism and accountability” which Sunak promised in his first speech as Prime Minister, Cleverly said: “Yes, by saying that she made a mistake, by apologising for that mistake, for standing down, she did.
