BRAVERMAN 'MUST GO' IF SHE BROKE CODE IN SPEED ROW PM IS TOLD

 PRESSURE ON SUNAK OVER HIS PLEDGE TO PUT AT THE HEART OF HIS GOVERNMENT INTEGRITY

- 

Nicholas Cecil and Rachael Burford RISHI SUNAK should sack Home Secretary Suella Braverman if she is found to have breached the ministerial code over a speeding case, Opposition leaders urged today.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer piled pressure on the Prime Minister to act to defend his vow to put "integrity, accountability and professionalism" at the heart of his government. Ms Braverman allegedly asked civil servants about arranging a private speed awareness course which would have allowed her to avoid three points on her driving licence and a fine. Mr Sunak was due to consult his ethics adviser this morning over whether her conduct should be investigated for a possible breach of the ministerial code.

But Sir Keir argued that the Home Secretary's actions appear to have been "inappropriate". He told ITV's Good Morning Britain: “If she’s breached the ministerial code she should go.”

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey added: “If Suella Braverman has broken the ministerial code, then she must resign or be sacked. It can’t be one rule for Conservative ministers and another for everyone else.”
