Sunak reinstated Braverman as Home Secretary when he became prime minister, just days after she quit predecessor Liz Truss' short-lived government.
LONDON - British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced growing pressure Sunday after reappointing interior minister Suella Braverman despite her resignation over a security breach.
"It really shows the huge error of judgment that Rishi Sunak has made in reappointing someone just six days after she broke the ministerial code over security lapses," Cooper said. Cooper spoke after Labour leader Keir Starmer on Friday said Sunak should sack Braverman, calling it the "strong thing to do".
She reportedly had rowed with Truss over immigration policy but quit over a security breach: sending a sensitive document to her private email account and then forwarding it on.Sunak ally Michael Gove, who has returned to the job he did under Boris Johnson's premiership as minister for "levelling up", defended Braverman on Sunday as a "first-rate front-rank politician".
