CONTROVERSIAL Home Secretary Suella Braverman has been SACKED as part of a huge cabinet reshuffle by the PM.
Braverman sparked outrage among some Conservatives after accusing the Met Police of bias towards left-wing protesters amid another weekend of pro-Palestine marches.
Following her sacking, she said: “It has been the greatest privilege of my life to serve as home secretary.
“I will have more to say in due course.”
The ex-Home Secretary was the first casualty in a major cabinet reshuffle by Rishi Sunak, as the Tory leader looks to secure votes ahead of an impending general election.
