Nooo!

I never thought there could possibly be a worse Home Secretary than Pritti Patel - then along came Suella with her dreams of asylum seekers being flown to Rwanda.

Unbelievable

Braverman. Braverman ? Coffey still be at health, you think?

What have we come to?

karmalady Tue 25-Oct-22 17:09:55

wonderful choices, a dream team in process

Braverman is back as Home Secretary a week after she resigned.

In her resignation letter she wrote, "Pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility; I resign."

Now here she is....carrying on as if everyone can't see that she made a mistake. Things have magically come right for her. This is not taking responsibility. This is not serious politics.

To quote King Charles “dear dear”.

Luckygirl3 Tue 25-Oct-22 17:16:22

We can only hope he fails to put together a full cabinet.

This is all deeply depressing.

This- and she was sacked for breaching security only a few days ago. I am shocked she is back- horrible woman. Do you think she will finally give us the list?

Well I hold my hands up I didn't like Sunak and his back stabbing of Boris but I'm changing my mind especially with Suella Braverman being appointed Home Secretary, yes could be a dream team. If he sorts the economy out and stops the dinghies a major issue with many including me I think at the next General Election the Conservatives could win again.

Well, is is interesting.

Tim Shipman (Chief Political Commentator, Sunday Times) has just tweeted that Braverman didn't 'mistakenly use her private email' at all, but regularly used a backbencher as an unofficial adviser...
Apparently security sources regard her as a danger...

Not the best judgement on Sunak's part, surely?

Yvette Cooper is going to have more fun with her I imagine...

Joseanne Tue 25-Oct-22 17:33:39

Is the Braverman choice because she did give a very good speech, liked by the delegates, at the party conference?

As I said. She is there to appeal to the far-right.

Let's hope she is on a warning smile. Perhaps leaving her to YC is the easiest answer.
