THE TORY Right will this week issue a direct appeal to Rishi Sunak not to sack Suella Braverman over her criticism of police.
The Home Secretary is battling for her career after she defied No10 to publish an article accusing cops of playing “favourites” and being soft on pro Palestine mobs.
Her allies are organising a letter to the PM backing Ms Braverman’s comments and declaring she spoke for most Brits.
One Tory MP said: “There is a plan – we are launching Operation Save Suella.
“We have already been calling our party whips backing her.
“Some have been speaking out in the media. Expect some to speak out this week in Parliament during the King’s Speech debates.”
Dozens of Tory MPs are expected to sign the letter, which is being organised by the Common Sense Group of Conservatives.
Rishi Sunak is facing one of the biggest dilemmas of since he became PM as he decided whether or not to give her the chop in his reshuffle.
He is not expected to make a final call until after Remembrance Sunday.
No10 is weighing up if it is worth the risk of stirring up a storm of fury from right wingers on the Tory backbenches.
Tory MP John Hayes – a close friend of Suella’s – would not comment on chatter of a save Suella operation.
But he said: “As far as we are concerned, Suella and Rishi need to be joined at the hip. They need to be completely unified.”
Other MPs have warned “no confidence letters will go in” if Rishi dares sack Suella.
At least one member of the government might resign if she is sacked.
Some allies of Ms Braverman accuse chief whip Simon Hart of spearheading the campaign to oust her.
But the chief whip has also been flooded with complaints from Tory moderates angry with Ms Braverman’s comments.
Team Suella is understood to be calling ground right wing Tories to work out the level of her support.
Yesterday, Armistice Day erupted into violence as Fascists flooded London to protest.
Labour and SNP politicians tried to pin the blame for the violence on Suella, claiming her article had stoked division and violence.
Labour London Mayor Sadiq Khan posted on X/ Twitter: “The scenes of disorder we witnessed by the far-right at the Cenotaph are a direct result of the Home Secretary’s words. The police’s job has been made much harder.”
SNP leader and Scotland’s First Minister Humza Yousaf called for Mrs Braverman to resign after violence broke out ahead of the march.
He posted on X: “The far-right has been emboldened by the Home Secretary. She has spent her week fanning the flames of division. They are now attacking the Police on Armistice Day.
“The Home Secretary’s position is untenable. She must resign.”
