Suella Braverman's brutal sacking yesterday came after Downing Street disowned her attack on police bias towards pro-Palestinian protests.
But the former Home Secretary's fate seems to have been sealed much earlier than that, with Rishi Sunak already having tired of her outspoken interventions.
By the time Ms Braverman penned her article for the Times last Wednesday accusing Scotland Yard of 'playing favourites', the process of appointing David Cameron as Foreign Secretary was already well under way.
The pair are believed to have made contact the previous weekend, shortly after Ms Braverman suggested that homelessness was a 'lifestyle choice' for some people.
The ex-PM was smuggled into No10 for a drink to finalise his bombshell deal with Mr Sunak last Tuesday.
And when it emerged Ms Braverman had gone ahead with the piece despite No10 refusing to approve it, Mr Sunak was merely said to have observed that she was 'not a team player'.
