Suella Braverman is under pressure to answer fresh questions about her resignation as home secretary for breaching the ministerial code last week, after new details emerged that cast doubt on her and Rishi Sunak’s version of events.
Sources have told the Guardian that Braverman was challenged by the cabinet secretary, Simon Case, about the leaking of a sensitive document, rather than coming forward herself about what had happened.
