Labour has joined the Liberal Democrats in demanding an investigation into Suella Braverman, who was yesterday reappointed as home secretary by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
As we’ve been reporting this morning, Braverman was forced to step down as home secretary last week, having admitted to violating ministers’ rules by using her personal email address for work business.
Labour’s Yvette Cooper has written to the cabinet secretary calling for an urgent probe into “this and other possible security breaches”.
The shadow home secretary adds in her letter that “the public has a right to know that there are proper secure information procedures in place to cover the person who has been given charge of our national security”.
In her resignation letter last week, Braverman acknowledged the mistake, calling it a “technical infringement” and adding that much of the content in the document she emailed had already been briefed to MPs.
