Good morning. A lot will change with Rishi Sunak as prime minister, he told the country yesterday: “Some mistakes were made … and I have been elected as leader of my party and your prime minister in part to fix them. And that work begins immediately.”
A few hours later, though, at least one change in his cabinet reshuffle took him straight back in line with Liz Truss: the return of Suella Braverman as home secretary. It’s less than a week since Braverman resigned after a breach of the ministerial code. Now, in a signal of the importance of her endorsement to Sunak, he has reappointed her immediately after stating his commitment to “integrity, professionalism and accountability” – and she’s back in time to see one of the most controversial policies pursued by her and her predecessor Priti Patel become law.
