Sunak faces first no-confidence letter following cabinet rejig

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing his first vote of no confidence after firing Interior Minister Suella Braverman. Conservative Party member Andrea Jenkyns criticized Sunak for removing Boris Johnson as leader and purging the center-right from the cabinet. Jenkyns submitted the no confidence letter to "stand up and fight for true Conservatism." A vote of confidence in Sunak's leadership would be initiated if 15 percent of the party's MPs sent letters indicating their choice for a new leader. The reshuffle was triggered by Braverman's criticism of the police's handling of protests.
