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.

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.
