Suella Braverman Quits in Scathing Letter After Sacking by Rishi Sunak
In a shock move, Suella Braverman has slammed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in a blistering resignation letter following her dismissal as Home Secretary. Though she proudly touted her record, Braverman blasted Sunak for faltering on major promises like cutting illegal migration and tackling antisemitism and extremism.
She described Sunak’s leadership as “uncertain, weak, and lacking the qualities this country desperately needs.” Braverman accused him of breaking their deal from the summer leadership contest and ignoring key policy goals.

The letter called out specific policy failures: cracking down on illegal migration, tightening laws on small boat crossings, and defending the Northern Ireland Protocol alongside Retained EU law reform. Braverman made it clear the Prime Minister had repeatedly dropped the ball on issues vital to her agenda.

A government spokesperson hit back, stressing Sunak’s commitment to the British public and highlighting a one-third drop in illegal boat crossings this year thanks to tougher laws.
