Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has appointed James Cleverly as the new Home Secretary, sacking Suella Braverman as part of a cabinet reshuffle. Cleverly's appointment comes two days before a Supreme Court ruling on the Rwanda deportation policy Braverman championed. This summer, Cleverly had publicly appealed to remain as Foreign Secretary. The reshuffle is seen as Sunak's attempt to reset his premiership after criticism he was not "bold enough" since becoming PM. Braverman's exit follows a rocky tenure as Home Secretary. The shake-up comes just days before the autumn budget statement. Sunak has moved swiftly to put his stamp on government, installing ally James Cleverly at the Home Office after firing Suella Braverman.
