Suella Braverman departs as UK Home Secretary

She has resigned because she breached an important protocol

Since when has breaking the Ministerial Code been a resigning matter for this lot?

Remember government carried out by WhatsApp during the covid crisis?

Now of course we have the snake oil salesman who didn’t even use his own name in order to sell it.

Exactly - this is her front for leaving for two reasons: she does not see the government as sufficiently right wing; and she needs to line herself up for standing for PM at some point.

In no way do I imagine she really resigned over breaking the ministerial code. She just found it a useful peg to hang her resignation on.

They are sly individuals engaged in political manoeuvring with one aim only - power.

I would love to be a fly on the wall at her meetings with Charlie boy each week!

She has resigned because she breached an important protocol and because she finds Liz Truss insufficiently right wing. The former I think is an excuse that under normal circumstances she would have tried to hush up; the latter is her real reason and beggars belief.

Yes, it’s because they disagreed about immigration

This situation is a gift to Starmer but in my opinion he hasn't made the most of it. No point in cracking jokes, he needs to be setting out his pitch.

I think we’ve dodged a bullet if the self serving nature of her engineered resignation is anything to go by. God help us all if she throws her hat into the ring for the leadership.

The LP is setting out it’s pitch.
