Suella Braverman forced to resign as Britain’s home secretary, following email breach

Embattled British Prime Minister Liz Truss has lost yet another cabinet minister, with Suella Braverman standing down as the nation’s home secretary.

Braverman was forced to resign after it was discovered she sent an official document from her personal email.

This is a breach of ministerial rules.

The outgoing minister published a sensational resignation letter, slamming Truss and her government.

She says the ruling Tory party is carrying on, pretending it hasn’t made mistakes “and hoping that things will magically come right”.

“As soon as I realised my mistake, I rapidly reported this on official channels, and informed the cabinet secretary,” Braverman added. “As home secretary I hold myself to the highest standards and my resignation is the right thing to do. The business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes.”

Truss swiftly responded to the resignation. In her own letter, she said “I accept your resignation and respect the decision you have made”.

“I am grateful for your service as Home Secretary,” Truss added. “Your time in office has been marked by your steadfast commitment to keeping the British people safe.”

Former transport minister Grant Shapps, a long-time backer of the PM’s previosu leadership contender Rishi Sunack, is Braverman’s replacement.

Braverman is the second senior cabinet member to quit the Truss government in the past week. It follows the Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng stepping down last Friday.

Why OPEC policy decisions will have a major impact on oil prices

Published

on

Despite the fall in oil prices, OPEC and its allies policy decisions can have a major impact on oil prices.

 
In May 2023, the total number of rigs drilling for oil and gas was already down by around 7% when compared with its peak in December 2022.

Slower drilling activity eventually translates into slower production growth, creating a delay of up to 6 months.

In the meantime, high levels of production are keeping inventories elevated, especially in the case of gas, which is keeping prices under pressure.

OPEC and its allies are weighing the possibility of further oil supply cuts, despite the fall in oil prices.

OPEC+ and its allies led by Russia, pumps around 40% of the world’s crude.

So, its policy decisions can have a major impact on oil prices.

Bloomberg’s Senior Oil and Gas Analyst Fernando Valle joins us to discuss.
