Rishi Sunak sacks UK Interior Minister Suella Braverman after pro-Palestine march row
After days of intense pressure to axe Braverman, the prime minister asked her to leave the government and she accepted, multiple UK media outlets reported

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday sacked controversial Interior Minister Suella Braverman, who drew anger for accusing police of being too lenient with pro-Palestinian protesters.This move by Sunak has kickstarted what is expected to be a major Cabinet reshuffle of his top team.After days of intense pressure to axe Braverman, the prime minister asked her to leave the government and she accepted, multiple UK media outlets reported.Braverman doubled down on calls for pro-Palestinian protests to be stopped as she warned that London’s streets are "being polluted by hate, violence and antisemitism" and hit out at "sick" chants and placards at Saturday’s march.In a highly unusual attack on the police earlier last week, Braverman said London’s police force was ignoring lawbreaking by “pro-Palestinian mobs.” She described demonstrators calling for a cease-fire in Gaza as “hate marchers.”On Saturday, far-right protesters scuffled with police in London. Critics accused Braverman of helping to inflame tensions.With inputs from agencies
