Suella Braverman told a mystery person they must ‘delete and ignore’ a top-secret email, it has been claimed.
According to the BBC the Home Secretary – who was brought back into government just 10 days after resigning over a security breach – took hours to report the incident.
It comes despite Braverman claiming she reported the mistake ‘rapidly to officials’.
This morning on the Laura Kuenssberg show, new levelling up secretary, Michael Gove, was shown the alleged email.
Mr Gove said Braverman is ‘absolutely’ a politician of integrity, and said that asking someone to ‘delete and ignore’ the top secret information is ‘standard practice.’
