Lib Dems call for probe into Braverman's return to the Home Office

The Liberal Democrats have called for a Cabinet Office probe into Suella Braverman's re-appointment as Home Secretary after being forced to resign for breaching the ministerial code last week.

Lib Dem home affairs spokesperson Alistair Carmichael said: "Suella Braverman's appointment makes a mockery of Rishi Sunak's claims to be bringing integrity to Number 10.

"There must be a full independent inquiry by the Cabinet Office into her appointment, including any promises Sunak made to her behind closed doors." Qazet.az report according to BBCNews

Carmichael said that Braverman should be sacked if it is confirmed she "repeatedly broke the ministerial code and threatened national security", adding: "A Home Secretary who broke the rules is not fit for a Home Office which keeps the rules."
