Looking forward to the "It was an honour to serve as Home Sec for 3 days" letter.
If we're perhaps going to possibly give Rishi some credit and work out why he did this, did he do this to bounce the ERG out of the cabinet? Put her in to let them burn through any credit they think they have in short order.
I think you underestimate how many in the right of the party wanted her in that position. It would have been a deal maker for a lot of them and United them behind him.But it makes his judgement look equally as bad as Truss if a Cabinet Minister has to resign soon after being appointed. I find it hard to believe him be appointed rested on appointing Braverman, surely he would have won anyway. This Tory party is a disease.

She will be gone shortly and Patel will be back.
He already had all of the support to get in. Surely he should have negotiated someone else from the right of the party if he was clever enough. A moron could see this would be an issue. Jake Berry has decided to go to town on him for being sacked.

How long before she resigns/gets the sack and shit hits the fan?

He went for the right option if she’s removed and he can pick the replacementYeah appreciate that which is why he should probably should have gone for another right wing nut job.

We’re all SHOCKEDWe are?
so what exactly is she bringing to the table?
Makes the decision by Rishi to appoint her all the weirder. She isn't a political heavyweight, doesn't appear particularly clever, so what exactly is she bringing to the table?
Bojo, Truss, Mogg etc would all surely know all the dirty secrets. Wouldn't put it past them to be leaking to the press about her (and others) to undermine him.
After fecking the country into a round hole both socially and economically they then don’t want to govern it? Kind of makes sense actuallyThe Tories have looked knackered, clapped out, and desperately short of ideas for a quite a while now; their Queen’s speech earlier this year (I think in May) under Johnson was threadbare.
The reduced focus on Brexit in-particular and to a lesser extent Covid, has really exposed them and their lack of ideas.
It’s no surprise that many of their MPs think that they need to recharge in opposition, some admitting that to journalists, although unless they’re standing down at the next election they of course won’t want to the defeat to be heavy enough to cost them their own seats.
Like a lingering fart that won't feck off.I genuinely believe Johnson will be PM again by the time the next election rolls round.
He will.I genuinely believe Johnson will be PM again by the time the next election rolls round.
'you can't prove anything'
Just found out she's 42 as well! She looks more like Mad Nads age.
It makes me giggle that some people think Sir Kier ‘knows’ what it’s like to be struggling. He is from a working class background this is true. He went to a Grammar School, Oxford University and Leeds University. He came from a Communist supporting family and he is now worth about £8 million according to Google. Yes, it’s bit short of the close to a billion Sunak has trousered, but they have both worked for it and paid taxes. A lot of the sniping from Labour MP’s is jealousy. Personally, I would rather have someone who understands economics and the markets than some career politician that just knows how to fill in their expenses. Richard Burgon the terror of the Tories is a millionaire, attended Cambridge and is as far Left as they can get. Champagne Socilaist like Gary Neville. They are all the same, either rampant ideologists or cruising through life getting paid for doing very little.

If you’re rich you get accused of being a champagne socialist. If you’re poor you get accused of envy. Can’t win with some people unless you’re a cnut
