UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman is facing pressure to be sacked after publishing an op-ed criticizing police handling of pro-Palestinian protests without consent from PM Rishi Sunak's office. Sunak requested changes to the piece accusing police of ignoring "pro-Palestinian mobs", but Braverman ignored them. Downing Street insisted it has confidence in her, but Sunak is probing how it was published against protocol. Some speculate Braverman is positioning for a future leadership bid by appealing to right-wingers. Her pressure on police was called improper. The unauthorized op-ed amid tensions with Sunak's office has sparked speculation about Braverman's leadership ambitions.
