    Well he’s had a quick stint in education and is currently Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (a position held for just over 2 months) so it must be time for another game of musical chairs.

    Yes, for 6 days in between Suella Braverman being sacked for the first time and then reinstated.

    In some respects maybe having a rolling door of various ministers is a good thing because nothing that serious ever gets time to be implemented. Thinking about it, a lot of stuff has been announced over the past decade but apart from the disaster that is Brexit, nothing has actually gone into law. It’s just consultation after consultation, and even then they get scrapped after some white-haired pensioner suggests that they don’t like it.

    It really does make The Thick of It seem quite dull and toned down.

    For God’s sake, hasn’t he done enough damage?

    Did they cook this shit up at the Cenotaph yesterday?

    “What are you up to these days Dave? Fancy being Foreign Secretary?”

    You never know, might be the political equivalent of this seminal 80s TV moment.

    Brexit? Pandemic? Boris? All a bad dream, love.

    Gone before the Rwanda decision unwinds later this week. According to the Sunday Times, privately nobody expects the government to win that case, and hence even primary legislation (asking MPs to vote) won’t be seen as an option. What a loss 🥲

    There has been a shitload of legislation passed, the wackadoodle announcements are just the distraction so the legislation they are creating doesn’t get full scrutiny.

    Don’t you have to be an MP?

    Or a Lord. Which he will now become, I guess. Not sure what the turnaround time on corrupt peerages is, perhaps they’ll tack him on the Truss list, just to add insult to injury for her.

    Everyone that voted for a BoZo led Government, see what your idiotic voting has brought. Go hang you heads in shame.

    I was over the moon when I read the headline. Then I scrolled down and read that on Friday afternoon the Met police literally threw the homes/tents and belongings of ten homeless men in the back of a bin lorry. Put a bit of a ding in my mood.

    (apologies if that’s already been mentioned.)

    Why do they walk up Downing Street?

    Is it like dropping off a child at school where you can’t park in the zig-zag lines?

    One would have thought that there would be an interconnecting corridor or perhaps a loading bay space near the door.

    Gone before the Rwanda decision unwinds later this week.

    They know they’ll lose it and they actively want to

    If they win, they will actually have to deliver it. And as we know, this lot couldn’t deliver a ****ing pizza. They’ve deliberately held Rwanda up as a panacea to all the countries ills and deliberately painted a misleading picture of tens of thousands of immigrants being shipped off to Africa. The reality is that it’d be a couple of hundred people and won’t make the slightest bit of difference to anything. All at absolutely enormous cost

    Easier to lose it, then use it to go full ‘enemies of the people’, a la Brexit. Then you get to use it to attack the ‘Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati’ judiciary and demand withdrawal from the ECHR to boot

    Election planning? Normal to talk to a past winner if considering a date… he ain’t asking Johnson for advice!

    BBC reporting now that David Cameron … is new Home Secretary!

    Not a chance.

    As much as I think in an ideal world no tory would ever have any position of power, I’ll take David Cameron over the current crop every day of the week

    although as has been mentioned earlier, I thought you had to be a sitting MP to have a role in government

    it speaks volumes however that of the 300 odd sitting MP’s they have in place, the PM didn’t think anybody else was suitable.

    I know that this Government have long since thrown out the Governmenting Rulebook but surely there is no way that Cameron could be given a ministerial role?! Since he’s not an MP, they’d have to make him a Lord. But secondly, putting a former PM and leader of the Remain campaign into a cabinet absolutely stuffed to the rafters with rabid Brexiteers is surely not going to happen?

    However, stranger things have happened… 🤷

    isn’t she a Buddhist ?

    Yes, sorry, you’re absolutely right.

    She may call herself a ‘Buddhist’, but that statement holds about as much water as me walking past a Karate gym and calling myself a black belt.

    Even the Buddhist community in London have told her to sod off, in their own respectful, non-confrontational way.

    Ehh – not sure the Rohingya would agree with the suggestion that all “real Buddhists” are gentle ant-huggers. But of a “no true Scotsman” vibe about some of these statements. Braverman fits right in.

    Westerners rarely associate Buddhism with extremism or violence, but Buddhist movements in Asia have often raised few qualms about the use of force. Buddhist authorities have, at times, justified violence against the faith’s enemies and supported authoritarian regimes.

    She’ll have a presenter slot on GB News by the end of the week. I reckon the previous couple of weeks has actually been a sneaky job interview where she’s promised them that she’s far-right and they’ve gone “hmm, are you sure about that, please prove it”.

    Back in for second interview later today – “there we go, did you see the far-right thugs start a riot at the Cenotaph?!”

    Congratulations, you’ve got the job.

    Nominative determinist oxymoron Cleverly as Home sec, I’ve heard. Cameron to ForSec is the rumour, would mean he has to be a Lord asap.

    If that’s the case, the rest of the reshuffle can be left…… one out to be a shouty backbencher (That’ll be fun, after her resignation statement

    “It has been the greatest privilege of my life to serve as home secretary,” she says. “I will have more to say in due course.”)

    and one in from the sidelines. However lots of rumours that junior ministers in the various Depts are stepping down which kind of indicates their bosses / sponsors are as well.

    Utter rats in a sack chaos.
