Rishi sacks Suella as Home Secretary.

Yes - WWm2 - he’s the catalyst for action- The Movement don’t we know?

He’s actually the Minister for Intergovernmental Relations. What else would he be doing?

I’m beginning to wonder whether bringing Cameron back was a very clever move.

How so? Genuine question.

Well, clever from the Tories viewpoint I meant.

Because I think that the divisions will be cleaved wide open, it is going to take massive managing and a lot of energy, which could be usefully put towards the election.

Cameron. Sheesh.
... the man who got home before he realised he had taken his daughter to the pub with him. Cameron who presided over cash flow restricting austerity (with his bezzie mate Osborne) while signing off on not one, but two government jet planes , the man who had no money for nurses but found enough for 1% tax cuts , the clown who did his best to sell us to China. I think his nickname is ‘the Chinese whisperer’.

What about Cameron’s Greenshill connection? And his family investments overseas to avoid taxes. I don’t trust him.

I am absolutely enraged that Cameron is back in a top job. This man trashed the UK and walked away - he should not now have a position of power handed to him on a plate. Even more infuriating is the way this deal has been done. Totally undemocratic! The man is not an elected representative of the people; he’s accountable to no constituents; he’s been made a lifetime peer TODAY just so that he can become foreign secretary; all done in secret, behind closed doors. Shame on the king for agreeing to award him a peerage. Shame on Sunak for such egregious manipulation. Apparently the speaker of the HoC is very unhappy about the situation - do you know what Lyndsey, you’re not the only one! What a shining beacon of democracy the UK is … NOT!

You are so right

I wouldn’t mind betting George Osborne will be back soon. A safe seat somewhere for him.

And I think all Sunak is interested in is making his name on the World stage and get a nice new role - probably going to resign before or just after Christmas so he doesnt get the blame for losing the election! He has his Green Card....

I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe you’re right Urmstongran.

LizzirDrip I agree with you.

Spot on but no surprise? This government has .no scruples.

Would love to have been a fly on the wall at the over a hour long meeting that led to Coffey’a resignation.

Coffey was one of the least effective Environment ministers ever, and they have had some dreadful ones.

In a perverse sort of way, she is almost irrelevant, as the environment is probably at the bottom of the government's list of priorities. Just look at how funding for the environment agency has been slashed for proof of this.

Yes but sewerage is a real issue and Coffey did zero about that.

When Coffey was Health Minister I thought she was a perfect example of what not to do to look after your health.

On her watch our waterways have been polluted with sewage and our natural environment has become depleted . Worse thing is - she didn’t care.

That dreadful photo of her with stained clothes and a cigar😮

I'm pretty sure that Sunak gave up his green card.

Lizziedrip, those who voted to leave the EU trashed the UK. Cameron had promised a referendum and a referendum was held. Those who voted to leave are responsible for what happened after that. I was not one of them. He is, imho, a good man for the job in the face of the difficulties we currently face.

I think Sunak has brought Cameron back to signal that the party is moving away from the far right. I loathe Cameron but he is not a Thatcherite conservative nor is he on the far right. Sunak is preparing for the next election and realises that the move to the right is damaging the party. Love it or hate it but the centre ground is the winning place to be.

I suppose that I am thinking that she did as little as her boss - the PM - wanted her to do. That is who she was answerable to. I've nothing to back it up, but it kind of fits with the lack of interest that the Tories have shown in environmental issues since 2010. If they actually gave a damn, would they have more than halved the EA's budgets in that time?

Letters beginning arrive into the 1922.
Be an interesting few weeks!

Uniting the party isn’t going to be easy. And how can you bring the electorate along without it?

Actually Sunak offering the job to Cameron sends out a ‘vote of no confidence’ surely to all his MPs. Not ONE of them good enough to be Foreign Secretary? He’s had to elevate Cameron to the Lords first to finagle this. No wonder Speaker Hoyle isn’t impressed.

So that was Suella's game, she wanted to get sacked to unite the right wing of the party and force another leadership contest. This is just so depressing.

Apparently Sunak didn't invite Suella Braverman to Downing Street, nor did he write her a letter to tell her she was sacked; he informed her by telephone.

Manners Makyth Man.
Clearly not in his case.

Well if there’s another leadership challenge why not? Sunak’s toast anyway and the dice might as well be rolled again - one last throw before annihilation at the GE?

I’ve always found it difficult to dislike Cameron in the way that I couldn’t dislike John Major. But it’s probably because he didn’t seem to be one of the members of the Bullington (sp) Club that would burn twenty pound notes in front of poor people. Which isn’t exactly a good enough reason to actually like him.
