LONDON: UK Interior Minister Suella Braverman tendered her resignation on Wednesday following controversy emerged over her sending an official document from her personal email in a “technical infringement” of government rules.
Prime Minister’s Office of UK said that She has been replaced by former transport minister Grant Shapps, British Media reported.
“I have made a mistake, I accept responsibility; I resign,” she said in a letter to Prime Minister Liz Truss posted on her social media account.
In her resignation letter to embattled Prime Minister Liz Truss, Braverman said she had concerns over the direction of Truss’s government, saying it was enduring “tumultuous times”.
It may be recalled that this is the second senior minister to leave the government in less than a week. Braverman’s departure heaps more pressure on the Prime Minister of UK as she fights to stay in power just more than six weeks after she took charge of Downing Street.
