UK Latest: Sunak Fires Home Secretary Suella Braverman

So this is an official being quoted by Bloomberg colleagues that that saying that the U.K. is a Sunni has fired the home secretary, Suella Roffman. The Press Association going on to say that the U.K. conservatives will conduct a ministerial reshuffle. That would make sense. If the Home Secretary has been fired, then you would need to see some sort of reshuffle. This, of course, is in the context of the criticism that she leveled at pro-Palestinian protesters. That was controversial. It was criticized. We then saw some very violent scenes involving counter-protesters in London over the weekend. There

was also talk of her not clearing some of her comments about Palestinian protesters through number ten. So all of that added up to a lot of questions being asked about whether she would survive the week and we would then moving towards a verdict from the Supreme Court, which meant that the timing got a little bit difficult for the prime minister. And so perhaps in the context of all of that and not so much of a surprise that if this is what this is what we’re having for an official now, then that Sunak has fired his

home secretary, Suella Braverman. So will this open up a period of infighting within the Conservative Party? That’s the question, because she represented the right of the party and that’s what

she was doing in the cabinet. Really sort of bringing that side of the party into the front bench. What happens now from that perspective?
