British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak removed the controversial interior minister, Suella Braverman, on Monday, as part of a broader reshuffling of top positions in the government.

The reshuffle comes as Sunak, who assumed office just over a year ago, aims to strengthen his team and make strategic decisions ahead of the anticipated general election next year.

The decision to remove Braverman was influenced by mounting pressure on Sunak, who faced criticism for her handling of weeks of contentious pro-Palestinian demonstrations and counter-protests in the UK.

Braverman, known for her outspoken right-wing views, had been accused of exacerbating tensions during the events.

The replacement for Braverman has not been immediately announced, leaving the government’s next steps in this critical position uncertain.

Braverman, who assumed the role of home secretary when Sunak took office, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve in the statement following her dismissal.

She mentioned, “it has been the greatest privilege of my life to serve as home secretary,” adding that she will provide more details in due course.

The broader reshuffle is expected to be a strategic move by Sunak to reward loyalists and emerging younger Members of Parliament (MPs) within the ruling Conservative party.

This marks Sunak’s first major cabinet reshuffle since becoming the country’s leader on October 25, 2022.

The party, in an announcement on social media, indicated that the changes are geared toward making long-term decisions for a brighter future.

The move to remove Braverman follows a series of controversies during her tenure, where she took a hardline stance on immigration and engaged in divisive culture wars issues.

The interior minister had labeled her critics as the “tofu-eating wokerati” and had expressed a controversial preference for sending asylum seekers to Rwanda.

Braverman’s position became increasingly untenable after she authored a provocative newspaper article last week, without Sunak’s approval, accusing the police of bias toward left-wing causes.

This article was seen as adding fuel to the fire ahead of protests related to Israel’s conflict in Gaza and Armistice Day events.
