Apart from the legislators’ interest in learning details about the economic measures he expects to implement to face the cost-of-living crisis and curb inflation, the new ruler was questioned on the composition of his new cabinet.

Criticism focused mainly on the appointment of Suella Braverman, whom Sunak reinstated as Home Secretary, despite the conservative MP resigned from the post last week for violating security protocols inherent to her position.

After tendering her resignation, the official said she used her private email to send an official document to another MP and criticize the tenure of previous Prime Minister Liz Truss, who had to resign, pressured by financial chaos and widespread backlash over her massive tax cut.

Broad sectors of British society and organizations defending civil liberties rejected Braverman’s return to Government due to her statements in favor of the expeditious deportation of irregular immigrants arriving at the United Kingdom and her promises to give more powers to the police to disperse street demonstrations.
