Suella Braverman was 'in denial' and 'amazed' at being forced to resign as Home Secretary after she committed a security breach, according to reports - despite claiming to have owned up to her mistake.
One source told the BBC that "initially [Ms Braverman] was in a state of denial" when Ms Truss later told her that she would have to resign.Another person familiar with the matter said that Ms Braverman was "amazed" that she was being told to step down.
The First Division Association , which represents senior civil servants, said the move showed "political expediency" when any civil servant acting in the same way would have lost their security clearance. Dave Penman, FDA general secretary, said: "This would prevent conflicts of interest and deter the political expediency the Prime Minister has shown by reappointing the Home Secretary less than a week after allegedly acting in a way that any civil servants would rightly be expected to face the harshest of penalties for, including losing their security clearance.
He asked whether she was "right" to initially leave the role because of a "deliberate" breach of security.Mr Sunak said Ms Braverman had "made an error of judgement" but said she "recognised that"."And that's why I was delighted to welcome her back."Sir Keir dug deeper, saying Mr Sunak had promised to bring "integrity, professionalism and accountability" to government as the new PM.
He said: "It really matters. I've been the director of public prosecutions, I know how important it is for the Home Secretary to be trusted, because others have to share documents with her," he said during a visit to Thurrock in Essex.
