LONDON (Reuters): British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sacked his Home Secretary Suella Braverman (pic) on Monday (Nov 13), a government source said, part of a wider reshuffle after she criticised the police's handling of a pro-Palestinian march.

Under fire from opposition lawmakers and members of his own governing Conservative Party to eject Braverman, Sunak moved against his Home Secretary, asking her "to leave government" which she had accepted, the source said.
