Conservative prime minister Rishi Sunak is conducting a Cabinet reshuffle with Suella Braverman replaced as Home Secretary by James Cleverly and David Cameron in as Foreign Secretary.

Suella Braverman has been sacked as Home Secretary as part of a wider Cabinet reshuffle by Rishi Sunak.

The Prime Minister asked Braverman to leave the government this morning and she accepted. The Conservative Party said this was part of a ministerial reshuffle as Sunak “strengthens his team in government to deliver long-term decisions for a brighter future".

This story will be updated with news of the new Cabinet throughout this morning.

Last week Braverman wrote an unauthorised article in the Times saying the police force was "playing favourites" by not blocking the Armistice Day march arranged by who she termed "pro-Palestinian mobs". On Saturday, there were violent scenes as far-right mobs stormed the Cenotaph with Met Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist saying "a week of intense debate about protest and policing" combined with the geo-political backdrop to "increase community tensions".

Fareham MP Braverman has long been a divisive government figure, meaning she has faced a fair few controversies in her time - from contentious remarks about refugees to having to resign from the role she was later re-appointed to over “security concerns”.
