The reappointment of Suila Braverman as Home Secretary, following her resignation, has put Rishi Sunak in a difficult position in the first fire-running trial of her term, which took place on Wednesday, in the House of Commons. The Finance Minister informed that a new financial plan would not be presented to the country until November 17th.
The first session in the House of Commons as prime minister of the country was marked by an issue that angered the opposition, less than 24 hours after the formation of the new British executive: the reappointment of Soyla Braverman to the post of minister. From the interior, after the governor resigned from the executive branch of the republic after 39 days in regency, claiming she had made a “mistake” that put the ministry’s security into question.
Keir Starmer, the Labor leader, opened up about hostilities and wasted no time in questioning the new face of Downing Street about the renaming. “The Home Secretary was wrong, but she realized what had happened and accepted her failure,” replied Sunak, defending her colleague in the government.
Not satisfied with the justification, Starmer pointed an accusing finger at the Conservative leader, recalling that he had committed himself to forming a government of “integrity, professionalism and responsibility”, however, he ended up “nominating a minister sacked by her predecessor to search the confidential documents of the Ministry of the Interior through the personal account.”
Sunak responded with the news that “more than 15,000 new policemen” were ready to keep the country’s streets safe and that “the Minister of Interior will support them to fight crime.”
However, Ian Blackford, the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), accused Sunak of appointing Suila Braverman to the Home Office over a “despicable deal” to strengthen his position.
Other Labor members expressed outrage at Braverman’s rise ahead of the House of Commons session.
And Bridget Phillipson, a member of the Labor Party, said in statements to BBC Radio that the minister’s appointment shows “everything you need to know about this government”, which directs sharp criticism to the Prime Minister. “One moment, Sunack says he’s going to lead an integrity executive and another moment he names someone who resigned the week before for a serious security breach,” he said.
Jeremy Hunt, renamed Chancellor of the Exchequer, rushed to the defense of his colleague, reminding, like Sunak, that she had “already apologized for her mistakes”. James Cleverly, who has moved on from the position of Secretary of State at Truss, emphasized that Suyla “is now focused on suppressing crime, protecting the borders and ensuring that the Department of the Interior is doing well.”
The fact that al-Sinak rose to the position of prime minister without holding early elections also drew heavy criticism. Labor leader Sunak was accused of “making a dirty deal”, endangering national stability as he “afraid of losing” the final scrutiny.
Inflation is the enemy.
With the opposition leader accusing the prime minister of “pretending to care about the poorest”, Sunak asserted that he would provide assistance to “the most vulnerable,” but did not commit to increasing financial benefits, acknowledging that “inflation is the enemy.”
Asked about possible climate changes, the leader replied that he would maintain what was stated in the conservative statement of 2019, the year Boris Johnson took office, stressing the importance of the government to focus on “long-term energy security”, which includes the use of sustainable energy.
Although they criticized Sunak’s rise to the position of prime minister, the opposition parties congratulated the new tenant No. 10, praising the historical importance of the country which has a prime minister of Asian and Indian descent. “This is an important moment in our national history,” Keir Starmer admitted before the start of the questioning session in Parliament.
Similar to what happened on Wednesday with Sunak, Liz Truss too Back In the House of Commons the day after her nomination by Queen Elizabeth II, she presented a two-year plan to tackle the UK’s energy crisis.
Postponing the presentation of the tax plan
Contrary to what was presented by the British press, after the appointment of the Prime Minister, the new financial plan will not be presented to the country until November 17, and not next Monday.
Jeremy Hunt, the finance minister who died from the Truss government, said he and the chief executive had decided to postpone the presentation of the plan until he had more time to analyze the economic outlook.
He added, “My first priority is the country’s economic stability, so the medium-term fiscal plan is very important. It is essential that this announcement be based on the most accurate possible economic forecasts and on public finance expectations.” She revealed, detailing that she had already told the BoE that this was “the best way to ensure that the right decisions are taken”.
