Tory Right-Wingers Urge Rishi Sunak to Keep Suella Braverman as Home Secretary

The Battle for Suella Braverman's Career

The Tory Right is making a direct appeal to Chancellor Rishi Sunak, urging him not to dismiss Suella Braverman as Home Secretary. Braverman has faced criticism after publishing an article accusing the police of bias and being lenient towards pro Palestine mobs. Despite opposition from No10, Braverman's allies are rallying support and planning to send a letter to the Prime Minister, stating that she represents the views of most Brits.

Operation Save Suella

Conservative MPs are launching "Operation Save Suella" to back the embattled Home Secretary. Party whips have already been contacted to express support, and some MPs are expected to voice their support during the King's Speech debates in Parliament this week. The letter of support, organized by the Common Sense Group of Conservatives, is expected to be signed by dozens of Tory MPs.

Rishi Sunak's Dilemma

Chancellor Rishi Sunak is facing a difficult decision as he considers whether to remove Suella Braverman from her position in his upcoming reshuffle. The final decision is not expected until after Remembrance Sunday. No10 is carefully weighing the potential backlash from right-wing members of the Tory party before making a final call.

"Joined at the Hip"

Tory MP John Hayes, a close friend of Braverman, emphasized the need for unity between Braverman and Sunak. He stated that they should be "joined at the hip" and fully supportive of each other. Some MPs have warned that they will submit "no confidence" letters if Braverman is sacked, and there is a possibility that at least one member of the government may resign if she is dismissed.

Support and Opposition

Supporters of Suella Braverman accuse chief whip Simon Hart of leading the campaign to remove her from office. However, Hart has also received complaints from Tory moderates who are unhappy with Braverman's comments. Braverman's team is reportedly reaching out to right-wing Tory MPs to gauge the level of support she has within the party.

Blame and Calls for Resignation

Following the eruption of violence on Armistice Day, some Labour and SNP politicians have blamed Suella Braverman for inciting division and violence. London Mayor Sadiq Khan accused her of making the police's job harder, while SNP leader Humza Yousaf called for her resignation. They claim that the far-right has been emboldened by Braverman's words.
