Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

[law74]

Better get some popcorn in for Cruella's parliamentary resignation speech if she chooses to take it.

I have no doubt that she will make that speech, just a matter of how far she is willing to take it without losing the whip

 

[Ducado]

It's unbelievable really. Cameron took what was a long term internal tory party quarrel to the country for a referendum because he was incapable of fixing it in house. This opened the door to the scandalous bullshit peddled by Johnson and Gove and enabled them, leading to the shit we are in now. All on a gamble, because he was too weak to sort it himself. And now he is coming in to represent the UK on the world stage? Got to be fucking kidding me, it's beyond satire.

These cunts need to go. Its long overdue. Call an election ffs

You can kind of see the logic in appointing him, he was a remainer and was not purged from the party in the Cummings coupe as he wasn’t an MP

It’s like Sunak has tried shifting to right to improve his poll numbers with nothing to show but chaos ( anyone surprised?) now he will try and pivot back to the centre, but his problem is he has two fifth columns, the right wing loonies and the BJ faction that hate him for stabbing their man in the back

This is going to be fun to watch

Probably have 30p Lee stoking his slug behind her when she does.

Suella's resignation speech could be key. She might become the stalking horse for a new leader.

The referendum bit and the irony it’s caused is though.

Can he be scrutinised properly from the HoL?

Already happened this morning.
He’s been made a baron by the king.

Not in the HoC though?

It’d be interesting, given she was sacked.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Irrelevant constitutionally.
Lord Mandelson was Brown’s Business secretary. Lord Douglas-Home was in Heath’s cabinet in 1970.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Doesn’t have to be.
A Lord can be a cabinet minister.

I’m not aware I’m disputing that.

Can Cameron be scrutinised in the HoC is the question I’m asking.

 

[metalblue]

Sacked for publishing a truthful statement.
It can only happen in the UK.

Regardless of how much or little truth there was in what she said as soon as she called one side “protestors” and the other side a “mob” she demonstrated a bias and she was rightly done.

So, we left the EU because we didn’t want unelected bureaucrats dictating policy to us and 7 years later, the very same bloke that called the referendum returns in an unelected ministerial role.

We’re through the looking glass here, people.

We don’t elect a cabinet. Strange post.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We don’t elect a cabinet. Strange post.

Not really, you’ve deliberately skewed its meaning.

Have we elected Cameron to Parliament?

Was one of the referendum debates around being served by unelected beaurocrats?

There’s the irony.

What is Terese Coffey doing going into Number ten?

We don't elect prime ministers either but by convention they must sit in the house of commons.

Cameron can be scrutinised but by other unelected peers. I assume they'll be looking for a rotten borough to parachute him into if it is a longer term job....

Karaoke must have started.

Did you vote remain? Yet are opposed to unelected bureaucrats? Irony?

See talking bollocks is easy.

There's a reshuffle buffet?

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Has anyone seen Boris Johnson today?

I hear he was spotted near a ladies wig shop over the weekend.

 

[mexico1970]

I'm just waiting for the next object of desire from some on here when the position is filled ;)

I’m not suggesting anything but the irony of the situation.

See my and Mr K’s posts for the reasoning, which is still there and shows the irony perfectly.
