The Home Office has reported that Suella Braverman has left Liz Truss’s administration.
Ms. Truss only appointed her as home secretary 43 days ago.
According to a government source, Ms. Braverman’s departure was caused by an “honest mistake” rather than a difference in policy, according to Sky News.
Sam Coates, our deputy political editor, is aware of the incident in which Ms. Braverman shared classified information on a private phone when she shouldn’t have and violated governmental security regulations.
This is believed to be one of two reasons why she has left her role.
It follows the sacking of chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng last Friday and the axing of the majority of the government’s mini-budget on Monday by new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.
Ms Braverman was seen entering Number 10 at around 1pm this afternoon, leaving around half an hour later.
The Liberal Democrats described Ms. Braverman’s exit as the latest in a “carousel of Conservative chaos”.
“There is a cost of living catastrophe, health service crisis, and now a rudderless Home Office.
“The only solution now is a general election so the public can get off this carousel of Conservative chaos.”
The shock departure comes as Ms. Truss battles to cling on to the keys to Number 10.
