Suella Braverman has launched a full-scale attack on her old boss Rishi Sunak, a day after he sacked her as home secretary.
In a blistering letter to the prime minister, she said he had repeatedly failed on key policies and broken pledges over immigration.
Mr Sunak had adopted "wishful thinking" to "avoid having to make hard choices", she wrote.
And she accused him of having "no real intention" of keeping his promises.

(62,646 posts)In a resignation letter she published on Tuesday, Braverman said Sunak had manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver on key pledges and alleged that he never had any intention of keeping them.
Sunak sacked Braverman on Monday after she made a series of intemperate statements that deviated from the government line. In recent weeks she called homelessness a lifestyle choice and accused police of being too lenient with pro-Palestinian protests, which she called hate marches.

Running scared of her and her RW nut supporters.
