Suella Braverman has been sacked as Home Secretary after the Prime Minister faced huge pressure to remove her from the Cabinet for making critical remarks about the police.
Mrs Braverman, 43, was accused of inflaming tensions via an unauthorised newspaper article, where she called pro-Palestine protesters "hate marchers" and accused Scotland Yard of bias for allowing the rally on Remembrance Weekend.

Mrs Braverman said: “It has been the greatest privilege of my life to serve as Home Secretary. I will say more in due course.”
Nick Gibb

"Over the last few weeks I have been discussing taking up a diplomatic role after the general election," he said.

Therese Coffey
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has thanked outgoing environment secretary Therese Coffey for “years of dedicated ministerial service and your friendship to me personally”.
He said her “teamwork and positivity” had “helped bring everyone together” during a “difficult time for our party” when she took on roles as both health secretary and deputy prime minister.
“I want to express my gratitude to you for your years of dedicated ministerial service and your friendship to me personally,” he said in a letter to Ms Coffey.
“You have driven work across Government to support the rural economy and taken measures to protect food production here at home. You have been a consistent champion of better rural broadband.”
He added: “I am also grateful to you for all your work as health secretary and deputy prime minister which helped prepare the health service for the winter. In a difficult time for our party – your teamwork and positivity helped bring everyone together.”
Neil O’Brien
Health minister Neil O’Brien, who was due to play a key role in delivering the PM’s new smoking ban for the younger generation, has also left his post.
He said he had asked “to go to back benches” to focus on his constituency and see more of his small children.
Jeremy Quin
The cabinet office minister said he was quitting his post to focus on projects in his Horsham constituency.
In his resignation letter, he said it had been an honour to serve in government, adding: “It has been a pleasure to support you consistently and I look forward to doing so again in future.”
