Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has reappointed Suella Braverman as Home Secretary one week after resigning.

The return of Suella Braverman after breaching the rules, is likely to be an issue opposition parties including Labour will want to pursue.

Ms Braverman resigned last week over a technical breach of government rules.

The Home secretary is planning to ban anyone who enters the UK via irregular routes. 

Ms Braverman wants to work closely with France to help cut channel crossings.

The new Home secretary is keen on drawing up a bill designed to create a “blanket ban” on anyone who enters the UK illegally, including by small boats, from claiming refuge.
