An internal document from the British Home Office, an email sent from a private account and a resignation letter that spares no criticism of the Liz Truss government. These are the main points of the departure, this Wednesday, of Suella Braverman from the position of minister in the London government.
It was on Twitter that the now former governor shared the document in which she signs her departure and, in a mixture of acknowledgment of responsibilities and attacks on compliance with the electoral program, makes her position clear.
“Today I sent a letter, from my personal email, to a parliamentary colleague whom I trust” with the aim of “raising support for the government’s immigration policy.” This action, he points out, “constitutes a technical breach of the rules” of the Executive.
The document was the draft of a “written ministerial declaration” with “imminent” publication and whose content had already been made known to the deputies. “Even so, the right thing to do is for him to go,” he acknowledges.
Suella Braverman also guarantees that she “quickly denounced” her error through official channels and explains the reasons for her departure: “As Minister of the Interior I am governed by the highest rules and my resignation is the right thing to do. Government action depends on people accepting responsibility for their mistakes.”
In a sentence that is being seen in the United Kingdom as an internal message to Truss, Braverman points out that “pretend that we did not make mistakes, carry on as if no one could see that we did and hope that things will work out as if by magic It’s not serious politics. I was wrong; I blame myself; I quit.”
The internal criticisms gain volume in the second part of the document, the resigning minister pointing out that they are evident due to all the “convulsive moments” that the Government is going through and that she is “concerned” about the direction of the Executive.
“Not only have we failed to deliver on key promises made to our constituents, I am seriously concerned about this administration’s commitment to deliver on the ballot box measures, such as reducing overall numbers and stopping illegal migration, particularly dangerous crossings by small boats.” .
Braverman also points out the “great honor” for having played a role in the Executive, but points out that “even in the short period” that he was in the Government he was “very clear that there is still much to be done to act on priorities”. of the British people.”
The vacant place, however, now has an owner: Grant Shapps is the new Home Secretary.
