Suella Braverman has just left her home secretary role, and Twitter is having an absolute field day by dredging up her recent attacks on those who disagreed with her policies.

It comes days after Liz Truss fired her close friend Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor, leading his replacement to tear up the prime minister’s main policies in the mini-budget.

According to The Guardian, Braverman may be replaced by former transport secretary Grant Shapps.

After just 43 days in the job, Braverman now holds the title as the home secretary with the shortest time in the job since 1945.

The reason for her departure has not been revealed just yet, but her online critics are pointing to the former home secretary’s recent attacks that on the “tofu-eating wokerati”.

Only on Tuesday, she accused opposition parties of being a “coalition of chaos”, adding: “It’s the Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati, dare I say, the anti-growth coalition that we have to thank for the [Just Stop Oil] disruption that we are seeing on our roads today.”

And when news of departure dropped on Wednesday, Twitter didn’t miss a beat.

Have we all done the one about Braverman being told to "get tofu**" yet?

Braverman has gone. Brought down by the pro-Tofu coalition no doubt.

Suella really put the "tofu" into the phrase "that's how to fuck everything up"

No-one knows what’s going on. Just keep your head down and don’t fuck with tofu.

Braverman has indeed resigned, @SkyNews reports.
OK, I'll go there:

When the going gets tofu, the tofu get going.

There is some irony to the fact that her departure was announced by the Guardian.

Is the secret globalist agenda just big tofu

Then, of course, there were the wider criticisms of the party in general – and the deportation Rwanda policy which Braverman has championed. Only earlier this month, she claimed it was her “dream” to get asylum seekers sent to the east African country.

Suella Braverman dreamed so hard about deportations she accidentally manifested her own 🙏🏿 be careful what you wish for!

Let’s just sack the whole lot with a General Election

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman's time in office will be most remembered for saying that her "dream" and "obsession" was to see a photo of a flight carrying asylum seekers to Rwanda taking off on the front page of the Telegraph newspaper.

What a legacy.
