Braverman: What on earth will it take for Sunak to do the right thing?

10 Nov 2023

EMBARGO: Immediate Release 

The Liberal Democrats have called on the Prime Minister to sack Suella Braverman after what looks like her latest breach of the Ministerial Code.

The Prime Minister’s spokesperson admitted today that Number 10 had not signed off on the Home Secretary’s inflammatory op-ed in the Times. 

Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“Suella Braverman is not fit to hold the office of Home Secretary. She divides communities with reckless abandon, playing a personal political game with no care for the consequences suffered by the people she is supposed to protect.

“She is the most dangerous and divisive Home Secretary of modern times. This country will be safer without her in post.

“This is a situation of the Prime Minister’s own making. He appointed her knowing she had previously broken the Ministerial Code yet he was too scared to stand up to her.

“What more will it take for the Prime Minister to do the right thing? It is time for us to move past her pathetic failings and for her to go. Rishi Sunak needs to find his backbone and sack her.”
