Prime Minister’s Questions
LONDON (AP) — British Home Secretary Suella Braverman has become the second senior minister in a week to leave embattled Prime Minister Liz Truss’ government.
Braverman left her job on Wednesday with a fusillade of criticism at the prime minister. Braverman said she resigned after breaching rules by sending an official document from her personal email account.
In her resignation letter, she said she had “concerns about the direction of this government” and said politicians must accept “responsibility for their mistakes.” Her departure came hours after Truss appeared in Parliament to face down a hostile opposition and fury from her own Conservative Party over her botched economic plan.
She described herself as “a fighter and not a quitter.”
