Rishi Sunak was never going to please everyone by sacking Suella Braverman. Just like clockwork, MPs are beginning to crawl out of the woodwork to proclaim Braverman true defender of the Tory faith and, while they’re at it, stick it to the Prime Minister. The list of MPs who have criticised Sunak’s decision to give the former Home Secretary the boot is as follows:

  • Andrea Jenkyns: ‘I support @SuellaBraverman Sacked for speaking the truth. Bad call by Rishi caving in to the left!’
  • Jacob Rees-Mogg: ‘I think from the point of view of the Conservatives winning the next election, today is a mistake because Suella understood what the British voter thought and was trying to do something about it. It seems to me that the Prime Minister is not as well attuned to the voters’ concerns as Suella Braverman.’
