Cabinet Shuffle Speculations

Suella Braverman's position as Home Secretary is under scrutiny following controversial comments on pro-Palestine marches. No. 10 is investigating her article in The Times, labeling pro-Palestine rallies as hate marches without official approval.

Current Standing

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt asserts the Prime Minister's confidence in Braverman despite recent scandals. However, events on the horizon may impact her Cabinet role.

Pro-Palestine Rally on Armistice Day

• Scheduled on Saturday, this rally protests the Israel-Gaza conflict.
• Braverman's comparison of these demonstrations to Northern Ireland protests has drawn criticism.
• Accusations of inflaming tensions and undermining police independence by calling for a ban could affect her standing.

Supreme Court Decision on Rwanda

• The Supreme Court will rule on the legality of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda.
• Braverman might leverage a finding of unlawfulness to support leaving the European Convention on Human Rights, a move backed by some Tory MPs.
• Potential consequences on immigration policy effectiveness and pressure on Rishi Sunak could arise if the appeal fails.

Potential Cabinet Reshuffle

• Anticipation surrounds a possible Cabinet reshuffle before the year-end.
• Speculation suggests Braverman might be moved from the Home Office amid increasing discontent.
• A reshuffle could offer Rishi Sunak an opportunity to reset the narrative on immigration.

Replacement Candidates

Possible replacements for Braverman include Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch, immigration minister Robert Jenrick, and security minister Tom Tugendhat.
