Home Secretary Suella Braverman departs from her position, with Grant Shapps set to replace her.

Suella Braverman has resigned from her role as Home Secretary, which she has confirmed in a face-to-face meeting with the prime minister and in a resignation letter.One of her reasons for resigning is that she made a "mistake" in sending an official document using her personal email, which is a breach of conduct.In her resignation letter, Braverman has also voiced her concerns over the government's conduct, and said the government needs to rely on people "accepting responsibility for their mistakes".

Braverman went on to comment that "it is obvious to everyone that we are going through a tumultuous time. I have concerns about the direction of this government. Not only have we broken key pledges that were promised to our voters, but I have had serious concerns about this government's commitment to honouring manifesto commitments." She also added: "Pretending we haven't made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can't see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility; I resign"

Following Braverman's resignation, Liz Truss has since thanked her for her service and said "it is important that the Ministerial Code is upheld, and that Cabinet confidentiality is respected."Ms Braverman's resignation follows the dismissal of Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor.Braverman is now the shortest-serving home secretary since World War Two, having only been in the job for 43 days.

Who is her replacement?

Grant Shapps will be replacing Ms Braverman as the new Home Secretary.Shapps was formerly the transport secretary under Boris Johnson's leadership.Shapps said he was dismissed by Liz Truss when she became prime minister because although she believed him to be an "effective" minister, she felt that he had been unsupportive in her race for the Tory Leadership.
