Suella's return poses ‘national security risk’
Suella Braverman the British Home Secretary, leaves 10 Downing Street after a Cabinet meeting, the first held by the new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, in London, Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2022.

SUELLA BRAVERMAN’S shock return to the Cabinet could pose a “national security risk,” opposition parties have claimed as they demanded Rishi Sunak launch an official inquiry.

The new PM’s decision to reappoint Ms Braverman as Home Secretary just six days after she resigned due to a security breach has been met with fury by opposition parties and refugee rights groups over the politician’s extreme stance on immigration and asylum. 

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer accused Mr Sunak at his first PMQs as Prime Minister on Wednesday of brokering a “grubby deal” with Ms Braverman to secure support for his premiership.
