Braverman's letter was three things. It was a vocal defense of her policies and the course she had taken; it was a direct attack on the failed leadership of Sunak; and it set her up as a potential replacement for Sunak as the leader of the Conservative Party. In her scathing letter, she accused him of failed leadership at all levels. She said his leadership was lacking in stemming the tide of illegal immigrants to Britain because he was afraid of offending "polite opinion." //

"Worse than this, your magical thinking - believing that you can will your way through this without upsetting polite opinion - has meant you have failed to prepare any sort of credible Plan B." //

The letter was deserved and a clear signal to Sunak that should the Conservatives retain power after the next election, he will not be the Prime Minister, but he may very well have just fired who will be.
