Meanwhile, around a quarter of all foreign students in the UK are from India,” she said at a Diwali event. While the deal was to be signed by Diwali, the deadline has now been pushed, and Barverman’s comments are seen as having played a role in that. As a politician, Braverman has defended British colonialism and taken a hard line on immigrants, supporting their deportation to Rwanda. She campaigned to leave the EU and served as a junior minister in the Brexit department under former PM Theresa May, but resigned in protest at her proposed Brexit deal, saying it did not go far enough in breaking ties with the bloc.

Suella Braverman has resigned as home secretary after sending an official document to a parliamentary colleague using her personal email. · Dear Prime Minister, · It is with the greatest regret that I am choosing to tender my resignation.

I am very grateful to all of my officials, special advisers and ministerial team for all of their help during my time as Home Secretary. In even the brief time that I have been here, it has been very clear that there is much to do, in terms of delivering on the priorities of the British people. I especially would like to pay tribute to the heroic policemen and women and all those who work at Border Force and in our security services. You oversaw the largest ever ceremonial policing operation, when thousands of officers were deployed from forces across the United Kingdom to ensure the safety of the Royal Family and all those who gathered in mourning for Her Late Majesty The Queen. I have concerns about the direction of this government. As Home Secretary I hold myself to the highest standards and my resignation is the right thing to do.

How stinging to be called unserious by a Home Secretary who spent her time drivelling on about “the tofu-eating wokerati”.

Anyway, her “concerns about the direction of this government” are meant to tell us two things. The punctuation is crying foul, the very syntax screams “it’s a stitch-up!”. Braverman, now a saint of political decorum headed for a better place, hymns her own integrity in choosing to resign because “the business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes”. This is in contrast to those who, of late, have gone about “pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right”. In so doing, she implies that other forces and motivations were behind her fall, calling to mind the dread hand of As she runs through the official reason for her resignation, “I sent an official document from my personal email”, stray adverbs and excuses pile up in mitigation.

Tory MPs demand assurance that home secretary's departure was not due to row over policy changes.

“We’ve got the third home secretary in seven weeks. Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, told the Commons Tory MPs were “fighting like rats in a sack”. Asking an urgent question in the Commons on the departure of Braverman, she said: “I notice there’s no home secretary this morning unless the member for Bassetlaw [Brendan Clarke-Smith] has been appointed home secretary in the last few hours? The email was deemed to have twice broken the ministerial code. She accidentally sent the document to a staff member of the Tory MP Andrew Percy, sources confirmed. “I am not convinced that cabinet, government and No 10 were totally behind the previous home secretary.”

Braverman also said she had "serious concerns" about the government's commitment to honouring commitments it made to voters at the last election. "I have made a mistake, I accept responsibility; I resign," she said in letter to Prime Minister Liz Truss posted on Twitter. LONDON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - British interior minister Suella Braverman said on Wednesday she had resigned after sending an official document from her personal email in a "technical infringement" of government rules.

Exclusive: Prime minister Liz Truss met Braverman in the House of Commons.

Braverman was an outspoken critic of Truss’s U-turn on the top rate of tax, suggesting she thought the prime minister had fallen victim to a “coup” earlier this month. In a point of order in the Commons, Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, said: “This Tory government is falling apart at the seams. Her only modern rival for brevity in the role was Donald Somervell, who spent two months in the job in 1945 as part of Winston Churchill’s end-of-war caretaker government. There are also reports of major disputes about policy and we have had weeks of disagreements. One Tory MP said it seemed “very minor” and that most cabinet ministers had been guilty of the same thing. “Team Truss obviously handed her the revolver.” “She needs to thread the eye of a needle with the lights off, it’s that difficult,” he said. The security breach was met with raised eyebrows from some of Braverman’s backers. Braverman, in a brutal resignation letter that contrasted her actions with those of Truss, wrote: “Pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. She spoke to Braverman in her Commons office, according to insiders. I have concerns about the direction of this government. “Special advisers and ministers, including the PM, have done much much worse,” they said.

The news comes at a hugely turbulent time for the UK government, with Prime Minister Liz Truss under pressure to resign just two months into her ...

In what could also be read as a message to the embattled prime minister, Braverman said: "The business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes. Braverman said she was concerned about the breaking of key pledges to voters, though did not specifically highlight the recent U-turn on fiscal policy, instead citing pledges to reduce overall migration numbers and small boat crossings to the U.K. Brought in in a bid to calm markets and project an image of stability, Hunt has provoked rumor of being more in control of government than Truss and even a potential successor. In her short time as home secretary, beginning with the Truss government on Sept. This, she said, "constitutes a technical infringement of the rules." Braverman ran against Truss for the Conservative leadership race this summer but was knocked out in an early stage.

With a humiliating admission and a show of defiance, she has left Liz Truss even deeper in the mire, says Guardian columnist Martin Kettle.

It is an ungovernable party that is more than ever unable to govern the country. But there is clearly more to it than that. It is a show of defiance from a massively assertive but profoundly unproven minister with her own Truss-like level of self-deceiving ambition. She departs with the Channel boats unstopped, the suspects unsearched and the Guardian readers still free to walk the streets eating their tofu. She was going to solve the small boats crisis in the Channel with much tougher measures than even Priti Patel tried. Right now, though, it looks like merely par for the course in a Tory party that seems utterly chaotic, unable to govern – and further proof, if it was needed, that Liz Truss’s administration may not make it into November.

Departing cabinet minister fiercely critical of PM before stormy scenes engulf Tories over fracking bill.
