(Politico) Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman accused Rishi Sunak of betraying his “promise to the nation” on immigration, in an excoriating letter sent just a day after she was sacked by the U.K. prime minister.
In her first intervention since being ousted by Sunak, Braverman — popular on the right of the Conservatives and seen as a future leadership contender — said the prime minister had “manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver” on a host of pledges.
She accused him of “wishful thinking” over his flagship pledge to cut the numbers of people crossing the English Channel in small boats, and painted the prime minister as having “put off tough decisions in order to minimize political risk to yourself.”
