Reaction to Resignation
Braverman's resignation has been met with a mixed reaction. Some Conservative MPs have praised her for speaking out against the government's policies, while others have criticized her for the timing of her departure.
The government has said it "respects" Braverman's decision and will continue to implement its agenda.
Impact on Government
Braverman's resignation is likely to have a significant impact on the government. She was a key ally of Sunak and her departure will weaken his authority within the Conservative Party.
The government is also facing pressure from the opposition Labour Party, which has called for an early general election. The Labour Party is currently leading in opinion polls and could pose a serious threat to the Conservatives at the next election.
