It's now 2/5 that Suella Braverman leaves her role as Home Secretary before the end of the year
After yet another bizarre week of UK Politics, Suella Braverman is now odds on with bookmakers to leave her role as Home Secretary before the end of the year.
Braverman has been under pressure to explain actions around her resignation as Home Secretary under Liz Truss after being reinstated by Rishi Sunak just six days later.
Smarkets now make Braverman 2/5 to leave her role as Home Secretary before the end of the year with pressure mounting on her this week.
| Braverman to be Home Secretary on January 1st 2023 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | 9/5 | 35.7% |
| No | 2/5 | 71.4% |
Specials also given around the World Cup and politics
Ahead of the World Cup set to take place later this month in Qatar, bookies are also giving specials on politics during the event.
Betway make it 4/1 that we see two Home Secretaries during the World Cup, which takes place from November 20 to December 18.
| Number of Home Secretaries during the World Cup | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| One | 1/4 | 80.0% |
| Two | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Three or more | 16/1 | 5.9% |
The bookies also go 16/1 that we see two Prime Ministers during the World Cup time with a 5.9% chance that Rishi Sunak's reign comes to an end then.

Why is there increasing pressure on Suella Braverman?
Rishi Sunak's decision to reappoint Suella Braverman as Home Secretary came with a whole host of controversy and critical complaints around it.
The reappointment came just 6 days after she resigned from the position under Liz Truss after breaking the ministerial code.
Braverman's resignation came after she forwarded an official document to her personal email which ended up being a draft written statement on migration.
Sunak therefore has received backlash around Braverman's reappointment and this wasn't helped by her language in Parliament yesterday.
Braverman was criticised for using the word "invasion" to describe the number of people crossing the English Channel in small boats.
