Former United Kingdom’s Home Secretary, Suella Braverman has accused Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of betrayal by repeatedly failing to deliver on key policies in a scathing letter to the prime minister.

Mrs Braverman told Sunak in clear terms that “your plan is not working”.

She said Mr Sunak betrayed his pledge to do “whatever it takes” to stop small boats crossing the Channel.

Mrs Braverman, a leading figure on the right of the party, was sacked as home secretary on Monday, kickstarting a major cabinet reshuffle.

In her letter, she told the prime minister he had “manifestly and repeatedly” failed to deliver on policy priorities.

“Either your distinctive style of government means you are incapable of doing so,” she wrote.

“Or, as I must surely conclude now, you never had any intention of keeping your promises.”

She added: “Someone needs to be honest: your plan is not working, we have endured record election defeats, your resets have failed and we are running out of time. You need to change course urgently.”

Mrs Braverman was sacked from her role, after opponents accused her of stoking tensions ahead of pro-Palestinian marches in London.

She lost her job days after she claimed police had applied a “double standard” to protesters, in an article for the Times newspaper.

She also told the PM he will have “wasted a year” on the Illegal Migration Act, which deals with small boats, “only to arrive back at square one”.

“Worse than this, your magical thinking – believing that you can will your way through this without upsetting polite opinion – has meant you have failed to prepare any sort of credible ‘Plan B’.”

She said she posed her own backup plan but received no reply.

“I can only surmise that this is because you have no appetite for doing what is necessary, and therefore no real intention of fulfilling your pledge to the British people.”
