British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has sacked interior minister Suella Braverman, one of his most senior ministers, a government source said on Monday, following comments she made last week about the police’s handling of a pro-Palestinian march.
Braverman had last week defied Sunak by publishing an article attacking the police’s handling of a march that took place on Saturday.
Critics said her stance helped inflame tensions and encourage right-wing protesters to take to the streets of London, putting Sunak under pressure to take action.
She was asked to leave the job this morning by Rishi Sunak.
It is the second time Ms Braverman has lost the job of home secretary – after she resigned from Liz Truss’s governmentbreaking the ministerial code.

Mr Sunak reappointed her less than a week later when he took over as prime minister.
In a post on the Conservative Party’s social media, it claims Mr Sunak’s reshuffle today “strengthens his team in government to deliver long-term decisions for a brighter future”.
Last week, Ms Barverman wrote a newspaper article that accused the police of “playing favourites” as she criticised the Metropolitan Police’s handling of a controversial pro-Palestinian march for Armistice Day.
The prime minister came under pressure to act after Ms Braverman was accused of undermining the operational independence of – and public confidence in – the police.
Critics, from both opposition parties and fellow Tory MPs, called Ms Braverman’s comments “offensive” and “inflammatory”.
Over the weekend, far-right protesters clashed with police in Westminster. Elsewhere, pro-Palestinian marches also ended with arrests.
