Braverman accuses Sunak of 'betrayal'

SUELLA Braverman yesterday accused Rishi Sunak of "betrayal" over a promise to stop small boat crossings in an incendiary letter after being sacked as home secretary.

In a broadside aimed at the Prime Minister, she accused him of having "manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver" on key policies, and said his "distinctive style of government means you are incapable of doing so".

She said Mr Sunak had not lived up to his promise to do "whatever it takes" to stop small boat crossings by failing to override human rights concerns about the Rwanda plan.

Mrs Braverman, one of the leading figures on the right of the Tory party, urged Mr Sunak to "change course urgently", telling him he has led the Conservatives to "record election defeats" and that his "resets have failed and we are running out of time".
