Should we have a general election now?

Today Rishi Sunak will reshuffle his cabinet following the sacking of Suella Braverman MP, after she wrote an unauthorised article for the Times, published on Thursday, where she criticised the Met Police for a 'double standard' over their handling of protests. The Conservatives said Mr Sunak is carrying out a wider reshuffle which 'strengthens his team in Government to deliver long-term decisions for a brighter future'.

Though for many the reshuffle is a sign of further weakness in an already troubled government. Many, including the First Minister for Scotland and SNP leader Humza Yousaf, have called for an immediate general election.

In a Tweet posted this morning, Mr Yousaf said: "Never has someone been so unfit for public office as Suella Braverman. At a time when we need those in Government to bring communities together, she revelled in fanning the flames of division.

"The Tories are out of ideas and out of time, there should be a General Election now."

As of writing the cabinet reshuffle has seen the reintroduction of former Prime Minister David Cameron to the government, who will take on the Foreign Secretary brief with James Cleverly MP becoming Home Secretary.
