BREAKING NEWS: UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman resigns

The United Kingdom Home Secretary, Suella Braverman has resigned her appointment in a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, Liz Truss on Wednesday.

In the letter she posted on her Twitter page, Braverman said she sent a draft ministerial statement that had not been published from her personal email to a colleague to get support for her policy.

According to her, the action was described as a constitution of “a technical infringement of the rules,” adding that, “It is with the greatest regret that I am choosing to tender my resignation.”

“It has been a great honour to serve at the home office. 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.

“They deserve policing they can respect, an immigration policy they want and voted for in such unambiguous numbers at the last election, and laws which serve the public good, and not the interests of selfish protestors.

“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. 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.

“To oversee Operation Bridges – the largest policing operation in a generation – was a great honour and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to serve. I wish my successor good luck.”

Braverman’s resignation comes as Truss faces pressure to resign amid a crisis in the UK’s financial markets.

The development also comes days after Truss sacked Kwasi Kwarteng, as Minister of Finance after 38 days in office.
