takes a look at her political uk should leave the european convention on human rights. the prime minister rishi sunak may have career. some sympathy with that view. if the she's the daughter of migrants government loses on wednesday, i who put taking a tough line think suella braverman from the on immigration at the centre of her agenda as home secretary. backbenches now would certainly make suella braverman inherited that point and i think it will be the government's flagship policy of sending illegal arrivals to rwanda but it's one interesting to see if that situation she wholeheartedly embraced. does arise how downing street responds. since how could that change, that policy? it she was also a leading voice, since how could that change, that oli ? ., �* . ., ., pushing for curbs on all migration since how could that change, that oli ? . ., ., ., policy? it won't change at all, the cabinet entirely _ policy? it won't change at all, the cabinet entirely agreed _ and was prepared to say bluntly policy? it won't change at all, the cabinet entirely agreed that - policy? it won't change at all, the cabinet entirely agreed that the l cabinet entirely agreed that the what she believed. policy is the right one. it has where individuals are being persecuted, it is right obviously been through a long and that we offer sanctuary. but we will not be able to sustain complicated legal process, huge an asylum system if, in effect, frustration in government over that. simply being gay or a woman they are convinced that the only way or fearful of discrimination in your country of origin, is sufficient to really deal with the criminal to qualify for protection. originally given the job gangs bringing people across the of home secretary by liz truss, six weeks later, ms braverman channel and to deal with the problem was out of the picture. she'd broken the ministerial code is, as they would describe it, by e—mailing a document to someone uncontrolled illegal migration, is who shouldn't have seen it and she resigned. to introduce a radical change to the asylum system. the question i think when the new prime minister rishi sunak reappointed herjust a week later, it was controversial. was his home secretary really is how much will the law right to resign last week for a breach of security?

still prevent them doing what they the home secretary made an error. want to do, which is to send ofjudgment but she recognised that, hundreds, if not thousands, of she raised the matter- asylum seekers to rwanda? although and she accepted her mistake. the government, even if it were to ms braverman stayed, popular with the right of the party, win on wednesday on the central but there were increasing concerns argument, if you like, which is that about her choice of language. rwanda is a safe third country, that it is ok to send asylum seekers too, we have also seen the courts and the across the globe in the 20th century was a mere gust garment has accepted this, support compared to the hurricane individuals in their claims that they should not be sent to rwanda. that is coming. whichever way it goes on wednesday is going to be a big legal argument she clashed with the metropolitan police commissioner, going on. and, of course, if we sir mark rowley, over pro—palestine protests in london and caused a backlash when she said sleeping do... whoever the new home secretary rough in tents was sometimes a lifestyle choice. is, they will have to find a way of suella fernandes. .. dealing with all of that. i suspect that the stakes, in terms of britain it was in 2015 that ms braverman, a's place, within the european then suella fernandes, convention of human rights and so first entered the commons. on, is going to become a big debate a brexiteer, she quit as brexit minister over concerns about theresa may's version —— britain's place. of the withdrawal agreement. on, is going to become a big debate but laterjoined the cabinet -- britain's place.— as borisjohnson�*s attorney general. -- britain's place. mark, let's talk about the circumstances -

let's stick to that talk about foreign secretary, surely it will be announced soon. let's stick with james cleverly, replacing suella braverman. he has been very prominent in recent weeks and months as home secretary. he is well regarded across the party, isn't he? that's right. in recent polls among conservative members he has risen up and is seen as one of the most popular cabinet ministers among tory party members anyway. that is an interesting fact in itself. clearly, suella braverman was certainly seen as popular among the tory right, the right wing of the party. some of the more right—wing tory party members in particular. but it did isolate some of her own party within westminster, some of the more centrist wing of the party. i think james cleverly will potentially be seen as somebody who could unite different wings in that sense potentially but it is a huge and very controversial brief. we know thatjust very controversial brief. we know that just this week the new very controversial brief. we know thatjust this week the new home secretary will have to deal with things like the rwanda ruling,

whether their policy to send some asylum seeker is to rewind it is legal or not. if it is not, there are some in the conservative party is some asylum seekers to rwanda. we'lljames cleverly want to do that if he has just moved from the foreign office brief where part of this role was diplomacy, speaking to the international community, working with european counterparts, us counterparts. would he now wants to move from that diplomatic stage to one where he is campaigning to leave a human rights convention. we don't know. we don't know what he plans to do as home secretary, given he has just been appointed. a massive brief to take on when the government is under pressure to tackle small boat crossing is in the channel, so certainly has been under pressure in the last couple of days in particular around his attitude to policing as well and protests and how the policing of protests will happen, going forward. these are all big, big questions thatjames

final straw. sunak wanted was potentially the finalstraw. he sunak wanted was potentially the final straw. he will be hoping this new relationship will put —— with james cleverly will be one where there is more loyalty and toeing the line of what rishi sunak wants. maybe not as headline grabbing but let's see. ione, stay with us. we are watching this very closely. not much movement but i suspect shortly there might be a bit of a revolving door. stay with us. i am nowjoined byjohn rental, who is the independent newspapers chief political respondent, good to have you with us on a busy morning at bbc news. what do you make of the developments in the last couple of hours? the return of david cameron as foreign secretary is quite a surprise. foreign secretary is quite a surprise-— foreign secretary is quite a surrise. ., , , surprise. not yet confirmed, is it, john? that's _ surprise. not yet confirmed, is it, john? that's speculation. - surprise. not yet confirmed, is it, john? that's speculation. no! - surprise. not yet confirmed, is it, john? that's speculation. no! i. john? that's speculation. no! i don't think— john? that's speculation. no! i don't think david _ john? that's speculation. no! i don't think david cameron - john? that's speculation. no! i don't think david cameron was | john? that's speculation. no! i. don't think david cameron was in there because he had forgotten to empty larry the cat's litter tray! laughter

he is very likely to be foreign secretary. it is a strange appointment for somebody who only the other day was proclaiming himself as the change candidate. this seems very much like a step backwards. with all due respect to david cameron. i thoughtjames cleverly was doing a good job as foreign secretary. in many ways, a surprisingly good job, because he didn't have much foreign policy experience. yet rishi sunak... decided that he is a better fit at the home office. the decided that he is a better fit at the home office.— decided that he is a better fit at the home office. the question is, john, do the home office. the question is, john. do you _ the home office. the question is, john, do you think— the home office. the question is, john, do you think that, _ the home office. the question is, john, do you think that, again, i the home office. the question is, | john, do you think that, again, we are only speculating here, but do you think the sort of sentiment behind david cameron's likely appointment to foreign secretary was that the prime minister sought him out specifically for this? filth. that the prime minister sought him out specifically for this?— out specifically for this? oh, yes. you can see _ out specifically for this? oh, yes. you can see the _ out specifically for this? oh, yes. you can see the rationale - out specifically for this? oh, yes. you can see the rationale for i out specifically for this? oh, yes. you can see the rationale for it. |

out specifically for this? oh, yes. | you can see the rationale for it. a very experienced politician. someone who knows foreign affairs extremely well and knows a lot of foreign leaders already. it makes a lot of sense. alec douglas hume was foreign secretary after he was prime minister. william hague was foreign secretary after he was leader of the party. it is not... it is not a precedent in that sense. but i think it's still a bit surprising. and who wants to appeal to the red wall. i don't think david cameron is exactly a working class conservative politician. but we'll see about that. i think the surprising thing is that it took so long to get rid of suella braverman. i’m is that it took so long to get rid of suella braverman.— is that it took so long to get rid of suella braverman. i'm 'ust going to stop you. — of suella braverman. i'm 'ust going to stop you. john. _ of suella braverman. i'm 'ust going to stop you, john, james i of suella braverman. i'm just going to stop you, john, james cleverly l to stop you, john, james cleverly new home secretary leaving downing

less inflammatory. it's surprising, in a way, that it's taken rishi sunak so long to get rid of suella braverman. i assume there are more changes to come but we don't know. that is quite a self—contained set of moves, james cleverly to the home office and david cameron in from outside the cabinet to the foreign secretary role. the conservative party put out a tweet this morning, saying a reshuffle is on and rishi sunak is strengthening his team, which didn't give us any clue as to whether this would be a big reshuffle orjust whether this would be a big reshuffle or just a whether this would be a big reshuffle orjust a limited one, concentrating on replacing the home secretary. concentrating on replacing the home secreta ., ., concentrating on replacing the home secreta .g ., , , , , secretary. john, 'ust very briefly, as ou secretary. john, 'ust very briefly, as you say. — secretary. john, just very briefly, as you say. quite _ secretary. john, just very briefly, as you say, quite a _ secretary. john, just very briefly, as you say, quite a clean - secretary. john, just very briefly, as you say, quite a clean move i secretary. john, just very briefly, l as you say, quite a clean move but it is a little complicated because, as ione wells, my colleague, was saying, david cameron doesn't sit in

tenterhooks waiting for that door to open. presumably with david cameron the likely foreign secretary to depart downing street. of course, having covered westminster before and seen david cameron as prime minister here, it would be quite a turnaround to see him back here in a different role. i am nowjoined, turnaround to see him back here in a different role. iam nowjoined, to discuss this further, by kevin schofield, the political editor of the huffington post uk. good to talk to you, kevin, how are you this morning? pl. to you, kevin, how are you this morning?— to you, kevin, how are you this mornino?�* , . . , ., morning? a bit hectic but all good, thank ou! morning? a bit hectic but all good, thank you! i _ morning? a bit hectic but all good, thank you! i mean, _ morning? a bit hectic but all good, thank you! i mean, i— morning? a bit hectic but all good, thank you! i mean, i think- morning? a bit hectic but all good, | thank you! i mean, i think everyone i've been speaking _ thank you! i mean, i think everyone i've been speaking to _ thank you! i mean, i think everyone i've been speaking to this _ thank you! i mean, i think everyone i've been speaking to this morning | i've been speaking to this morning is mostly surprised by seeing david cameron walk up this street again, i presume you are, as well? absolutely. a huge surprise, no one speculating on that particular development. a surprise not least because rishi sunak used his conservative party speech just last month to criticise the last 13 years of british political leadership ——

last 30 years. obviously, david cameron was quite a large part of that. at the same time, david cameron was also highly critical of rishi sunak�*s decision to cancel hs to make between birmingham and manchester, lots of words being eaten —— hs2 between. if he replaces james cleverly as foreign secretary. just to break away from that for the moment, we are also hearing of reshuffles at the lower levels of the cabinet. we are hearing that nick gibb, schools minister, saying he won't be standing at the next general election and is now standing down as a minister. the statement says over the last two weeks i have been discussing taking up the diplomatic role after the general election to enable me to do so i have asked the prime minister if i can step down from the government at the reshuffle and he has agreed. i campaigned for richey last summer and remain an enthusiastic supporter of the prime minister's leadership —— campaignfor of the prime minister's leadership —— campaign for rishi sunak last summer. will there be some in the

cabinet or indeed in the tory ranks who will be very unhappy at suella braverman's departure?— who will be very unhappy at suella braverman's departure? maybe not so much in the — braverman's departure? maybe not so much in the cabinet. _ braverman's departure? maybe not so much in the cabinet. what _ braverman's departure? maybe not so much in the cabinet. what was - much in the cabinet. what was noticeable last week was the lack of support amongst ministers on the various broadcast rounds that had been asked whether they agreed with her comments on homelessness being a lifestyle choice. and then her article in the times and no one was rushing to defend her. on the backbenches, certainly, she has her supporters. sometimes it is overstated how popular she is but undoubtedly it will anger some of those particularly on the right of the party who agree with a lot of the party who agree with a lot of the things that she was saying. that was one of the calculations that rishi sunak was having to make when he was deciding whether or not to sack her. he has a busy decided that, ultimately, he can live without having suella braverman causing trouble —— he has obviously

decided. causing trouble within the cabinet. some people will be making clear their unhappiness that she has now been removed from the cabinet. isn't that the point. you say within the cabinet that —— but she is popular amongst the rank—and—file of the party and she represents a certain wing of the conservative party. it's unlikely that she's going to go quietly from political life. ., , going to go quietly from political life. ., y ., going to go quietly from political life. . , ., ., , going to go quietly from political life. ., , ., ., , life. certainly not. no, she has ambitions _ life. certainly not. no, she has ambitions to _ life. certainly not. no, she has ambitions to be _ life. certainly not. no, she has ambitions to be the _ life. certainly not. no, she has ambitions to be the next i life. certainly not. no, she has| ambitions to be the next leader life. certainly not. no, she has i ambitions to be the next leader of the conservative party. a lot of people thought that that was behind a lot of the things that she was saying, a lot of the controversial comments she made, almost goading rishi sunak into sucking her, so she could fully concentrate on her leadership ambitions. —— into sacking her. it has worked if that was the plan. we need to wait and see what she says publicly. she had no qualms about criticising the government and criticising rishi sunak. she must have almost no

loyalty now whatsoever. she could cause quite a lot of trouble for him on the backbenches but he must have coagulated he couldn't allow her to undermine him in the way that she has, which is why she has paid the price with herjob.— price with her 'ob. let's talk about the likel price with herjob. let's talk about the likely foreign _ price with herjob. let's talk about the likely foreign secretary, i price with herjob. let's talk about the likely foreign secretary, they| the likely foreign secretary, they return, as we were discussing earlier in our conversation, of david cameron. what do you think he is going to do in that role? it is a very busy time, of course, with the ongoing israel—gaza conflict. do you think that mr cameron's previous experience as prime minister will add or change the government's perspective on how they deal with this? ., , perspective on how they deal with this? . , , , . this? certainly, his experience will be invaluable. _ this? certainly, his experience will be invaluable. it _ this? certainly, his experience will be invaluable. it is _ this? certainly, his experience will be invaluable. it is a _ this? certainly, his experience will be invaluable. it is a particular i be invaluable. it is a particular tumultuous time globally, as we know. he was prime ministerforfive years. in that time, he built up quite a lot of foreign policy experience. that being said, obviously, i have already had tax from people saying he was responsible for the biggest foreign

policy crisis to hit the uk since the suez crisis. that being brexit, of course. there was the syria vote, which he famously lost, as well, and then the intervention in libya didn't turn out as david cameron had planned. certainly, a mixed record, if you are being kind, on foreign policy in terms of his premiership. i guess rishi sunak will be relying on his experience of government, how government works, how the foreign office works, to represent the uk on the global stage. it will certainly be a gamble and it will certainly be presented by a lot of voters —— resented by a lot of voters who will never forget brexit and a lot of conservative mps who are not great fans of him either.— fans of him either. kevin schofield, for the moment, _ fans of him either. kevin schofield, for the moment, thank _ fans of him either. kevin schofield, for the moment, thank you - fans of him either. kevin schofield, for the moment, thank you very i fans of him either. kevin schofield, i for the moment, thank you very much for the moment, thank you very much forjoining us. of course, you are watching us on bbc news live from downing street. it has been a really busy morning in british politics

here. the prime minister, rishi sunak, sacked his home secretary, suella braverman, earlier this morning. it was not a surprise. he has now replaced her with james cleverly, who was the former foreign secretary. a bit of political musical chairs. we saw the new home secretary, james cleverly, depart the black door behind me at downing street not too long ago. the real story that people are, i guess, pretty surprised by it was the arrival of former british prime minister, david cameron, who walked up the street here early this morning. it is widely thought that he will now replace james cleverly as the new foreign secretary. we are all bracing ourselves for him to leave the door behind us and announce that he is the new foreign but not yet confirmed. of course, it all comes after prime minister rishi sunak sacked suella braverman. she's

not taking another roll up in government or cabinet, she has left —— another role. i am joined by political correspondent ione wells to discuss this. we keep bracing ourselves for that door to open at the last time it moved we saw larry the last time it moved we saw larry the cat. it the last time it moved we saw larry the cat. ., , �* the last time it moved we saw larry the cat. . , ~ ., , ., ., ., the cat. it was! a false alarm! i am told that potentially _ the cat. it was! a false alarm! i am told that potentially in _ the cat. it was! a false alarm! i am told that potentially in the next i told that potentially in the next minute or so we are expected david cameron to leave downing street any moment now. much expected that he will leave as a new foreign secretary. we have seenjames cleverly walked out, presumably on his way to the home office after having just been appointed home secretary. this appointment by david cameron, as we discussed earlier, very unexpected by many in westminster to have a former prime minister reappointed to foreign secretary at such a crucial time for the brief. earlier we saw the head of the foreign office sir philip barton go into downing street as well, presumably to meet his
