UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has fired Home Secretary Suella Braverman from his cabinet after she penned an unauthorized article in the Times newspaper criticizing police handling of recent protests. In the inflammatory article, Braverman claimed there was a "perception" that police officers favored left-wing protesters over right-wing groups. Her comments were blamed for stoking tensions amid clashes between protesters and police during Armistice Day events over the weekend. This is the second time in less than a year that Braverman has been forced to resign from her position as Home Secretary under a Conservative government. Her dismissal is expected to be part of a wider reshuffle of Sunak's cabinet team.
