Shortly after Suella Braverman released her scathing resignation letter, Tory MPs began publicly expressing their reactions.
Michael Fabricant, the MP for Lichfield, wrote on X that it was “no ordinary resignation letter” but “an indictment listing all the charges”.
“Will there be a detailed rebuttal from the prime minister?” he added.
Simon Clarke, MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, described it as “a devastating letter”.
He went on: “I hope the government wins tomorrow’s Supreme Court case.
“However, win or lose, how the government then proceeds will be a litmus test of whether it is serious about fixing the wholly unacceptable scale of illegal immigration or simply talking about it.”
Former minister Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg—no supporter of Mr Sunak these days—did not comment on the substance of the letter but tweeted: “Suella doesn’t mince her words.”
And William Wragg, MP for Hazel Grove, mocked Mrs Braverman, writing: “Infamy, infamy. They’ve all got it in for me!”
