SUELLA Braverman was dismissed from her position as Home Secretary today after being accused of exacerbating tensions on Armistice Day by criticizing Met Police chiefs.
Divisive comments blamed for violent clashes
Critics of the former Home Secretary attributed the violent clashes between pro-Palestinian protestors and far-right thugs to her controversial remarks about the police.
Outrage over Braverman's accusations
Last week, Ms Braverman sparked outrage when she accused the police of favoring left-wing pro-Palestine and BLM protestors over right-wing marches in an article for the Times.
Major reshuffle amid Tory civil war
Embattled Rishi Sunak is set to conduct a significant reshuffle today as Conservative MPs are embroiled in a fierce internal conflict.
Braverman fights back
In response to growing calls for her resignation over the weekend, Ms Braverman defiantly defended herself.
Political figures call for Braverman's departure
The Labour Mayor of London, Scottish First Minister, and several Labour MPs demanded the former Home Secretary's resignation following the clashes involving EDL supporters and the police on Saturday.
Shadow Home Secretary supports Braverman's departure
Labour's shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, insisted that Mrs. Braverman cannot remain in her position and criticized her "appalling and unprecedented attack" on the Metropolitan Police's independence and impartiality.
Supporters claim Braverman's warning was justified
However, supporters of the former Home Secretary argued that her concerns about unequal policing were vindicated and that the clashes were evidence of her prediction coming true.
Braverman's controversial statement
Ms. Braverman had stated, "Unfortunately, there is a perception that senior police officers play favorites when it comes to protesters. During Covid, why was it that lockdown objectors were given no quarter by public order police yet Black Lives Matters demonstrators were enabled, allowed to break rules and even greeted with officers taking the knee? Right-wing and nationalist protesters who engage in aggression are rightly met with a stern response yet pro-Palestinian mobs displaying almost identical behavior are largely ignored, even when clearly breaking the law."
Reshuffle upheaval
Ahead of the Prime Minister's major reshuffle, allies of the ousted Home Secretary expressed their frustration. Many saw her as their representative on the cabinet table, countering the more moderate Tory MPs.
Supreme Court ruling imminent
The reshuffle coincides with the Supreme Court's upcoming final ruling on the legality of the Rwanda deportation scheme, which will be delivered in three days.
