Rishi Sunak has been Prime Minister for just over a week and his premiership has been a bumpy ride so far.
After vowing to bring “integrity and accountability” to Downing Street, Sunak appointed Suella Braverman Home Secretary. She was forced to resign from Liz Truss‘s cabinet over a security leak in which she shared official documents from her personal email account (and thus broke the ministerial code). Braverman is mired in fresh controversy over reports that she ignored legal advice on leaving migrants for extended periods at the Manston processing centre in Kent. Manston is designed to hold 1,600 migrants for a maximum of 24 hours but is currently occupied by 2,600, some of whom have been there for up to four weeks. The centre been described as “wretched” and is dealing with outbreaks of diseases including diphtheria.
