A minister was unable to say if Suella Braverman will still be Home Secretary in a week’s time amid uncertainty over her future.
Speculation is rife at Westminster that Rishi Sunak could carry out a ministerial reshuffle as soon as today which could see her moved.
Ms Braverman’s political future hangs in the balance after she was accused of stoking tensions surrounding a pro-Palestinian march on Armistice Day.
James Heappey, the armed forces minister, was asked this morning during an interview on Times Radio whether he could say if Ms Braverman will still be in her job in a week’s time.
He replied: “I don’t think that I can. I think that is an issue for the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister alone, I’m afraid.”
Opposition leaders have called for Mr Sunak to sack Ms Braverman but senior Tory MPs have urged the Prime Minister to stand by her, backing her “common sense” approach to policing.
