Suella Braverman

The UK newspaper front pages cover a tumultuous day in politics with accusations of bullying in the Commons and the home secretary's resignation.

The Express also highlights what it calls ‘“disgraceful” Commons scenes’ under the headline “Beyond belief! The Sun headline simply reads “Broken”. The Mail splashes with “Suella’s 90-minute shouting match with Liz”.

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”.

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.

Significantly shorter in length and far from gushing about Braverman’s performance as home secretary, Truss ensures that it is known the home secretary is stepping down squarely because of her breach of the ministerial code. I accept your resignation and respect the decision you have made. Saying there is “much to do” suggests she thinks Truss’s government has run out of road and is incapable of delivering on its promised priorities.

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.

Ms Braverman, who said recently that she dreamt of seeing asylum seekers being deported to Rwanda, has advocated a hard line on immigration numbers.

Conservative lawmaker William Wragg said he had submitted a letter of no confidence in the prime minister, joining a handful of others who have called for her to go. Mr Chris Bryant, a senior Labour lawmaker, told the chamber he had seen lawmakers being “physically manhandled” and “bullied” to vote with the Conservatives. Asked by the leader of the main opposition Labour Party, Keir Starmer, why she should remain in power, she said: “I am a fighter and not a quitter.” “I have made a mistake, I accept responsibility, I resign,” she said in a letter to the prime minister. After a move to make a vote on fracking a confidence matter, scenes in parliament descended into chaos as Conservative lawmakers were confused over whether they were obliged to vote in line with the government.
