British interior minister Suella Braverman said on Wednesday she had resigned after sending an official document from her personal email in a "technical infringement" of government rules. Former transport minister Grant Shapps has been appointed interior minister in her place.

"I have made a mistake, I accept responsibility; I resign," she said in a letter to Prime Minister Liz Truss posted on Twitter. Braverman also said she had "serious concerns" about the government's commitment to honouring promises it made to voters at the last election.
