Sunak’s plan is not working but there’s no time to oust him: Suella Braverman
Suella Braverman and Rishi Sunak
After local election results showed that the UK is headed for a Labour government, former home secretary Suella Braverman stated that the Conservatives had run out of time to oust Rishi Sunak but that he needed to "own this and fix it."
The Labour Party is expected to retake power in the UK after 14 years, as the current Conservative Party of Britain suffered significant losses in local election results on Friday, May 3.
Sunak's "plan is not working," according to Braverman, and the prime minister must alter his strategy because "at this rate we will be lucky to have any Conservative MPs at the next election."
“The thing everyone should take from Birmingham and the West Midlands tonight is this brand of moderative, inclusive, tolerant conservatism, that gets on and delivered, has come within an ace of beating the Labour party in what they considered to be their backyard – that’s the message from here tonight,” the former West Midlands mayor said.

Sunak, on the other hand, is caught in a dilemma since the Reform UK party is taking votes from the Tories on the right, coming within 150 votes of the party in the Blackpool South byelection.
Rishi Sunak is not conservative enough: Braverman
Braverman said Conservative voters were "on strike" because Sunak's smoking ban and laws against pedicabs were not conservative enough. She advocated for action on the European Court of Human Rights, a limit on legal migration, and greater tax cuts.
“I’m urging the prime minister to change course, to with humility reflect on what voters are telling us and change the plan and the way that he’s communicating and leading us," Braverman, who was fired by Sunak last year, stated on BBC One's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.
When asked why he should not be removed since the situation was so bad, she replied, “Listen, I just don’t think that is a feasible prospect, we don’t have enough time and it’s impossible for anyone new to change our fortunes. There’s no superman or superwoman out there. Rishi Sunak has been leading us for 18 months. These are consequences of his decisions. He needs to own this and therefore he needs to fix it.”
When asked whether or not she had participated in a plot against Sunak, Braverman replied that many of her peers were "privately demoralised."
