LONDON, Oct 19 —Britain’s Suella Braverman has left her job as interior minister, the Guardian reported today, adding to the turmoil surrounding Prime Minister Liz Truss’s six-week premiership.
The Sun’s political editor said Braverman had been fired.
If confirmed Braverman’s departure would mark the second of Truss’s most senior ministers to be replaced in less than a week, after she sacked her finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng on Friday.
The Guardian cited sources saying her departure was “at the behest” of Kwarteng’s replacement Jeremy Hunt. Former transport minister Grant Shapps is being tipped to replace her, the newspaper said.
The Home Office declined to comment on the reports. — Reuters
