Braverman, a Conservative MP with a strong pro-Brexit stance, had a varied career, including legal work in the UK and the US. She briefly served as a junior minister in the Department for Exiting the European Union but resigned over Theresa May's Brexit deal. She later became Attorney General, facing criticism for supporting a bill that broke international law.

In 2021, she made history as the first cabinet minister to take maternity leave. She ran for the position of Prime Minister when Boris Johnson resigned but was appointed Home Secretary by Liz Truss, only to resign again due to sharing confidential documents.

Her return as Home Secretary under Rishi Sunak was marked by controversy due to her provocative comments on immigration and other issues. Her departure signifies the end of a tumultuous period in government, but her political ambitions within the Conservative Party may continue.
