Suella Braverman quitting over email faux pas stark warning for ... (Verdict)

Suella Braverman resigning as home secretary should be a stark warning for corporate chieftains, cybersecurity expert warn.

The business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes. “Pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. “Personal emails over web browsers are often not as secure and are unencrypted, meaning they can be intercepted very easily. Braverman became the latest official to leave Liz Truss’ government on Wednesday, October 19. Upon his appointment, Hunt promptly tore up most of the measures announced in the mini-budget, effectively crippling Truss’ whole political platform. So why did Braverman quit as home secretary?

Tory MPs demand assurance that home secretary's departure was not due to row over policy changes.

“We’ve got the third home secretary in seven weeks. Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, told the Commons Tory MPs were “fighting like rats in a sack”. Asking an urgent question in the Commons on the departure of Braverman, she said: “I notice there’s no home secretary this morning unless the member for Bassetlaw [Brendan Clarke-Smith] has been appointed home secretary in the last few hours? The email was deemed to have twice broken the ministerial code. She accidentally sent the document to a staff member of the Tory MP Andrew Percy, sources confirmed. “I am not convinced that cabinet, government and No 10 were totally behind the previous home secretary.”

Suella Braverman departs as UK home secretary (The Guardian)

Exclusive: Prime minister Liz Truss met Braverman in the House of Commons.

Braverman was an outspoken critic of Truss’s U-turn on the top rate of tax, suggesting she thought the prime minister had fallen victim to a “coup” earlier this month. In a point of order in the Commons, Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, said: “This Tory government is falling apart at the seams. Her only modern rival for brevity in the role was Donald Somervell, who spent two months in the job in 1945 as part of Winston Churchill’s end-of-war caretaker government. There are also reports of major disputes about policy and we have had weeks of disagreements. One Tory MP said it seemed “very minor” and that most cabinet ministers had been guilty of the same thing. “Team Truss obviously handed her the revolver.” “She needs to thread the eye of a needle with the lights off, it’s that difficult,” he said. The security breach was met with raised eyebrows from some of Braverman’s backers. Braverman, in a brutal resignation letter that contrasted her actions with those of Truss, wrote: “Pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. She spoke to Braverman in her Commons office, according to insiders. I have concerns about the direction of this government. “Special advisers and ministers, including the PM, have done much much worse,” they said.

Suella Braverman: Home Secretary's resignation letter in full (BBC News)

Suella Braverman has resigned as home secretary after sending an official document to a parliamentary colleague using her personal email. · Dear Prime Minister, · It is with the greatest regret that I am choosing to tender my resignation.

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. 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. 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. You oversaw the largest ever ceremonial policing operation, when thousands of officers were deployed from forces across the United Kingdom to ensure the safety of the Royal Family and all those who gathered in mourning for Her Late Majesty The Queen. I have concerns about the direction of this government. As Home Secretary I hold myself to the highest standards and my resignation is the right thing to do.

Suella Braverman's fall would be astonishing at any other time. But ... (The Guardian)

With a humiliating admission and a show of defiance, she has left Liz Truss even deeper in the mire, says Guardian columnist Martin Kettle.

It is an ungovernable party that is more than ever unable to govern the country. But there is clearly more to it than that. It is a show of defiance from a massively assertive but profoundly unproven minister with her own Truss-like level of self-deceiving ambition. She departs with the Channel boats unstopped, the suspects unsearched and the Guardian readers still free to walk the streets eating their tofu. She was going to solve the small boats crisis in the Channel with much tougher measures than even Priti Patel tried. Right now, though, it looks like merely par for the course in a Tory party that seems utterly chaotic, unable to govern – and further proof, if it was needed, that Liz Truss’s administration may not make it into November.

To tackle some of the shortages in low-skilled labour, meanwhile, the prime minister is said to be considering raising the annual cap on visas granted under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme. Ms Truss also reportedly wants to expand the Shortage Occupation List, which allows firms in some industries to bring in more workers. In the year to June, 46% of those granted visas for skilled workers were from India. Earlier this month Ms Braverman said she had “concerns” about a trade deal with India because it would lower barriers to immigration from the country.

Suella Braverman quits and vote chaos add to turmoil for the PM (BBC News)

The resignation of a senior minister and anger over a vote on fracking pile even more pressure on the prime minister.

It's only happening because the Truss government messed things up more badly than anyone could have imagined.. something has to give". Former Brexit minister Lord David Frost - once an ally of Ms Truss - has written a piece in the Daily Telegraph calling on the prime minister to go. Many Conservatives have spoken out against bringing back fracking but they were told that the vote was being regarded as a vote of confidence in the prime minister and government. In her resignation letter, Ms Braverman acknowledged there had been "a technical infringement of the rules", adding: "I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility: I resign." She could decide the game is up - there is no indication, yet, that she is about to do that.

London: British Prime Minister Liz Truss' floundering leadership has been plunged into a fresh crisis after the resignation of a senior minister and ...

In an angry resignation letter, she said she had no choice but to resign after sending an official document from her personal email to a “trusted parliamentary colleague” in breach of ministerial rules. As a Tory MP of 17 years, who’s never been a minister who’s got on with it loyally most of the time, I think it’s a shambles and a disgrace. “Pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics,” she wrote. But Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg told the PA news agency: “This is a government that is functioning well. “I saw members being physically manhandled into another lobby,” he told the Commons, “and being bullied. Fighting for her political life after just 43 days in office, Truss had faced what was billed as a de facto confidence motion on her leadership when MPs voted on a Labour motion to ban fracking in the Commons late on Wednesday (London time).

Suella Braverman's resignation letter reveals the extent of Liz ... (New Statesman)

How stinging to be called unserious by a Home Secretary who spent her time drivelling on about “the tofu-eating wokerati”.

Anyway, her “concerns about the direction of this government” are meant to tell us two things. The punctuation is crying foul, the very syntax screams “it’s a stitch-up!”. Braverman, now a saint of political decorum headed for a better place, hymns her own integrity in choosing to resign because “the business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes”. This is in contrast to those who, of late, have gone about “pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right”. In so doing, she implies that other forces and motivations were behind her fall, calling to mind the dread hand of As she runs through the official reason for her resignation, “I sent an official document from my personal email”, stray adverbs and excuses pile up in mitigation.
