Following a cabinet change that resulted in the dismissal of Interior Minister Suella Braverman, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is now facing his first no confidence letter. Tory MP Andrea Jenkyns, a loyalist of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has called for Sunak's replacement with a "real Conservative party leader".

"Enough is enough...It is time for Rishi Sunak to go...," she wrote on X (formerly Twitter) and shared her no-confidence letter.

The Tory MP also posted on X shortly after it was announced that Braverman had been fired. "Sacked for speaking the truth. Bad call by Rishi caving in to the left," she wrote on the microblogging site, in response to the former Home Secretary's remark on police "favouritism" in handling the recent pro-Palestinian demonstrations in London.

David Cameron, the former prime minister, was named the new foreign secretary by Sunak in a significant Cabinet reorganisation. This came after Suella Braverman was fired as home secretary and James Cleverly was appointed to replace her, leaving the top job open at the Foreign Office.

Interestingly, Cameron was appointed by the Sunak administration in a significant cabinet reshuffle despite not having been elected to the UK Parliament. She is seen as a contentious character who incited ire when she claimed that police were being overly accommodating to demonstrators who supported Palestine.
