Home Secretary Suella Braverman has left her role, with speculation that Grant Shapps is set to replace her - as Prime Minister Liz Truss tries to save her premiership, the Guardian has revealed this afternoon. The Prime Minister had been due to visit a defence technology company this afternoon but cleared her diary.
A Home Office source confirmed that Ms Braverman was out after the Prime Minister made a last-minute cancellation of a trip out of Westminster on Wednesday.
Ms Braverman has said she was resigning as Home Secretary after a “mistake” surrounding sending an official document from her personal email, as she criticised the “tumultuous time” under Liz Truss.
