Braverman handed in her resignation to then prime minister, Liz Truss, after sending a confidential email from her personal email address, breaking ministerial code.
The newly appointed prime minister, Sunak, appointed Braverman as home secretary despite recent events. Cleverly said Braverman had 'made a mistake' and Sunak wished to see the home secretary 'see through' her robust plans for policing and immigration.
