Suella Sacked As Tories Turn

The Conservatives have now shifted far away from being the party that won in 2019.

Hello all and welcome back to Heaver News! I hope you are all well.

Well, she’s gone. The now former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has been sacked and is out of Government.

With that move I suspect many, already uncomfortable with the direction of Rishi Sunak’s Government, will now abandon the Tories.

Braverman had long been a Home Secretary who was basically a rebel within her own Government.

Why? Because she argued that the UK must leave the ECHR, something the Government is still refusing to do. So the boats keep coming.

This move from the Sunak Government is now likely to lead to an increase in support for Reform UK.

But there is also huge anger within the Tory ranks, including at least one Conservative MP who has now put a letter in against Sunak.
