Suella Braverman has been sacked as UK home secretary, with James Cleverly appointed as her replacement. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak asked her to leave due to alleged breach of ministerial rules by sending a sensitive document relating to immigration rules to a fellow Member of Parliament.
Braverman pledged to reduce net migration and limit international student visas, a target she failed to achieve.
Cleverly, who had previously been foreign secretary, was appointed to take over the Home Office brief.
Former Prime Minister David Cameron was appointed foreign secretary and handed a “barony” to serve in government again.
This marks Braverman’s second loss as home secretary, following her resignation from Liz Truss’s government and her re-appointment when Rishi Sunak took over as prime minister.
