Former British Home Secretary Suella Braverman, a hardliner on immigration and law and order, sent a highly critical letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak today (Tuesday), which she posted on her X/Twitter account.

Braverman, who listed what she sees as Sunak's many policy failures and oversights in the letter, was fired by the Prime Minister shortly before for publishing an article in The Times accusing the police of showing favoritism towards pro-Palestinian protestors in London.

After listing her pride in her ministry's accomplishments in clamping down on crime, Braverman noted how she agreed to join the government and even supported Rishi Sunak's candidacy for Prime Minister, despite his "having been rejected by a majority of (Conservative) Party members during the summer contest and thus having no personal mandate to be Prime Minister."

Braverman stated that this support, which she argued was crucial to Sunak becoming Prime Minister, rested on specific conditions, especially regarding migration restrictions and ensuring the protection of same-sex spaces. Much of the letter then describes what Braverman describes as Sunak's failure to carry out those policies or adequately protect them from legal challenges.

She then addressed the proximate cause of her dismissal as Home Secretary: her article to The Times on police policy during pro-Palestinian demonstrations in London. Braverman argued that she had been beseeching the government to address the rising tide of antisemitism and radicalism in the country, but that Sunak had failed to rise to the challenge "as on so many other issues."

She ended by saying that "someone needs to be honest: your plan is not working, we have endured record election defeats, your resets have failed and we are running out of time. You need to change course urgently."

Despite these misgivings, Braverman said she would continue to support any government policy aligning with what she called an "authentically conservative agenda."
