Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

For someone who’s not a supporter, it seems odd that you’ve swallowed his excuse that it was a political hit job. Plenty of Tories were as disgusted with him as supporters of the other parties were.
Of course there were. Never said otherwise, in fact I said exactly the above. And I am not into "his excuse", it is simply my opinion. But opposition MP does something questionable and opposition pounce upon it. Shock horror. I seem to remember the Tories having a right good go at Starmer's drinks do as well.
 
She should be but she has Sunak backed into a corner where he's down to the bare bones of their support. She goes and it starts eating into that support. He has nowhere to go.
Could Sunak do a cabinet reshuffle and shove her as minister for transport?

Then she’s not sacked, just moved out of the limelight.
 
My ire is correctly directed at those within government who repeatedly flouted the rules they themselves had set while the rest of the country observed the national and in some cases local directives. My concern isn’t with the rules it’s the fact that Johnson and his cronies broke them….repeatedly and without any shame or contrition. In fact there’s still idiots defending him now after he’s been fined by the police.
I’m not condoning what the tories did re the rules but when others are shown having beers and curries then all I can think about is rank hypocrisy from some of the critics
 
. But broad support has to be seen in the context of our political system. On the basis that he got a - what was it 80? - seat majority, taking Labour seats that had been Labour for donkey's years, then in my book that qualifies.
In your book yes, because for you words mean whatever you want them to mean.

He wouldn't get away with that, the three big cabinet posts are Home Secretary, Chancellor and Foreign Secretary.

You forcibly move someone from any one of those posts, it's not a demotion, it's a sacking.

That would be Starmer who said he'd resign if the Police fined him...
