UK sacks Home Secretary who threatened to stop Nigerian student visas

The UK government has sacked Home Secretary, Ms Braverman for ‘sending an official document from her personal email to a trusted parliamentary colleague as part of policy engagement’ – an infringement of rules.

In a letter, she said she reported her ‘mistake as soon as she realised’ but recognised that resigning was ‘the right thing to do’.

Ms Braverman has made it to 43 days – one day short of illusionist’s David Blaine’s time in a box above the Thames.

The news is another huge blow to the prime minister, who is already fighting for her own survival six weeks into the top job.

One source claimed the sacking was at the behest of the new chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, who is now ‘pulling the strings’

ITV’s Robert Peston tweeted: ‘Just to be clear, the Tory right already telling me Braverman has been stitched up by Truss.’

Ms Truss is in big political trouble after her disastrous mini-budget sent the markets into meltdown.

Former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng shouldered much of the blame when he was fired after just 38 days.
