UK PM Sunak Sacks Suella Braverman As Home Secretary; Replaces Her With David Cameron

In a dramatic reshuffle on Monday morning, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sacked his Home Secretary Suella Braverman, after days of speculation over her job since it emerged a controversial newspaper article attacking the Metropolitan Police was published without clearance from her boss.

She has been replaced by former Prime Minister David Cameron

Braverman, the 43-year-old Cabinet minister of Goan descent, has consistently been at the center of controversy in her prominent role within the UK Cabinet. Most recently, she stirred up a debate by accusing the Metropolitan Police of "playing favorites" in addressing intense Israel-Gaza protests, as highlighted in an article in 'The Times.'

The UK PM was under pressure from sections of his Conservative Party as well as faced attacks from the Opposition for allowing her to continue in her job after she went ahead with the article in a perceived breach of the ministerial code.

"Our brave police officers deserve the thanks of every decent citizen for their professionalism in the face of violence and aggression from protesters and counter-protesters in London yesterday. That multiple officers were injured doing their duty is an outrage," Braverman said in a statement on Sunday evening following far-right violence during the protests over the weekend.

"The sick, inflammatory and, in some cases, clearly criminal chants, placards and paraphernalia openly on display at the march mark a new low. Antisemitism and other forms of racism together with the valorising of terrorism on such a scale is deeply troubling," she said.

However, her intervention in support of the police may have come a little too late to save her job in the end.
