I accept your resignation and respect the decision you have made.

Suella Braverman resigning as home secretary should be a stark warning for corporate chieftains, cybersecurity expert warn.
The business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes. “Pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. “Personal emails over web browsers are often not as secure and are unencrypted, meaning they can be intercepted very easily. Braverman became the latest official to leave Liz Truss’ government on Wednesday, October 19. Upon his appointment, Hunt promptly tore up most of the measures announced in the mini-budget, effectively crippling Truss’ whole political platform. So why did Braverman quit as home secretary?
Suella Braverman has resigned as home secretary after sending an official document to a parliamentary colleague using her personal email. · Dear Prime Minister, · It is with the greatest regret that I am choosing to tender my resignation.
I am very grateful to all of my officials, special advisers and ministerial team for all of their help during my time as Home Secretary. In even the brief time that I have been here, it has been very clear that there is much to do, in terms of delivering on the priorities of the British people. I especially would like to pay tribute to the heroic policemen and women and all those who work at Border Force and in our security services. You oversaw the largest ever ceremonial policing operation, when thousands of officers were deployed from forces across the United Kingdom to ensure the safety of the Royal Family and all those who gathered in mourning for Her Late Majesty The Queen. I have concerns about the direction of this government. As Home Secretary I hold myself to the highest standards and my resignation is the right thing to do.
How stinging to be called unserious by a Home Secretary who spent her time drivelling on about “the tofu-eating wokerati”.
Anyway, her “concerns about the direction of this government” are meant to tell us two things. The punctuation is crying foul, the very syntax screams “it’s a stitch-up!”. Braverman, now a saint of political decorum headed for a better place, hymns her own integrity in choosing to resign because “the business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes”. This is in contrast to those who, of late, have gone about “pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right”. In so doing, she implies that other forces and motivations were behind her fall, calling to mind the dread hand of As she runs through the official reason for her resignation, “I sent an official document from my personal email”, stray adverbs and excuses pile up in mitigation.
With a humiliating admission and a show of defiance, she has left Liz Truss even deeper in the mire, says Guardian columnist Martin Kettle.
It is an ungovernable party that is more than ever unable to govern the country. But there is clearly more to it than that. It is a show of defiance from a massively assertive but profoundly unproven minister with her own Truss-like level of self-deceiving ambition. She departs with the Channel boats unstopped, the suspects unsearched and the Guardian readers still free to walk the streets eating their tofu. She was going to solve the small boats crisis in the Channel with much tougher measures than even Priti Patel tried. Right now, though, it looks like merely par for the course in a Tory party that seems utterly chaotic, unable to govern – and further proof, if it was needed, that Liz Truss’s administration may not make it into November.

[The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.](https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/about-us/trust-principles.html) LONDON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Former transport minister Grant Shapps is to replace Suella Braverman as Britain's interior minister, the BBC reported on Wednesday.
Tory MPs demand assurance that home secretary's departure was not due to row over policy changes.
“We’ve got the third home secretary in seven weeks. Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, told the Commons Tory MPs were “fighting like rats in a sack”. Asking an urgent question in the Commons on the departure of Braverman, she said: “I notice there’s no home secretary this morning unless the member for Bassetlaw [Brendan Clarke-Smith] has been appointed home secretary in the last few hours? The email was deemed to have twice broken the ministerial code. She accidentally sent the document to a staff member of the Tory MP Andrew Percy, sources confirmed. “I am not convinced that cabinet, government and No 10 were totally behind the previous home secretary.”
