Former Tory chairman Sir Jake Berry has claimed Suella Braverman committed ‘multiple breaches of the ministerial code’ as Rishi Sunak faces a backlash over reinstating her Cabinet role.
Ms Braverman became the shortest-serving home secretary in history when she was forced out less than a week ago after admitting to a ‘technical infringement’ of the rules.
But Sir Jake, who left his role as party chairman on Tuesday, alleged there had been ‘multiple breaches’ of the code, which sets out how members of the government must behave – or face punishment.
It comes amid reports Ms Braverman was investigated by government officials as part of an inquiry into the leak of a sensitive story involving the UK’s security services.
