The motive behind this decision seems to be that she had a chance to win the next election. PM Rishi himself should resign if he cannot handle the mounting pressure.

Suella holds a political and legal position in the UK and stands on the right wing of the Conservative Party, supporting Brexit and the Free School legacy of the British Empire.
