The British Minister of the Interior, Suella Braverman, announced, on Wednesday, October 19, his resignation, confirming information from British media. She notably expressed her “concerns about the management of this government”, occupied by Liz Truss.
According to several British media, it will be replaced by Grant Shapps, Minister of Transport under Boris Johnson. The departure of M me braverman, if he does not seem to be linked to a rebellion within the government like the one who had pushed Mr. Johnson at the start in July, falls badly for Liz Truss, who seeks to Return to hand after the setting in pieces on Monday, by her new Minister of Finance, Jeremy Hunt, massive tax cuts that she had promised.
“To pretend we have not made mistakes, to continue as if everyone did not see them and to hope that things go back to normal by magic does not constitute a serious political strategy,” said M me braverman. It is a popular figure within the right wing of the Conservative Party, asking for ever more restrictive immigration policies. The announcement of his departure was made a few days after M Me truss dismissed his Minister of Finance, Kwasi Kwarteng, Friday.
