Braverman’s Revenge😄

In the immortal words of the fragrant Mandy Rice-Davies
………..

It warrants a one word reply. Nutella. It’s a good lesson in how to lose friends and alienate people.

As gracious in defeat as you would expect her to be....

She genuinely is as mad as a box of frogs.

Between this and Jenkyn’s semi-literate rant yesterday, the Tory’s just are the gift that keeps on giving.

Worth noting, though, that she’s another who seems to believe that the Brexit referendum result = a mandate on a shedload of stuff, when it absolutely doesn’t, of course.

Sunak’s response will be interesting.

She genuinely is as mad as a box of frogs it looks that way doesn't it. She seems to think she was doing him a favour by accepting the position in the first place!!!

"I may not have always found the right words, but I have always striven to give voice to the quiet majority that supported us in 2019.

[Suella Braverman"]

Quiet Majority????

Any kind of majority????

In the 2018 general election the Conservatives won a "landslide majority" of 80 seats in the House of Commons on the basis of gaining 43.6% of the votes cast - ie - a minority, not a majority.

Only 67.3% of eligible voters turned out to vote so this "landslide" was voted in by only 29.3% of the electorate..

29.3% of the voters is not any kind of a majority.

Over 70% of eligible voters did not vote Conserevative

This government has no real mandate from the UK electorate - quiet or otherwise.

It is truly absurd that the UK continues to be one of the only two undemocratic countries in Europe which elects a government by First Past The Post (the only other one is Belarus)

Perhaps in Belarus there is is some innumerate politician like Suella Braverman claiming to speak for the "silent majority" but it couls never happen in a democracy.

He would be crazy to respond.

I’m really looking forward to PMQ’s tomorrow .

Nice one! 😁

Surprised it didn't end with

"I'll scweam and scweam until I'm sick."

Firstly, Rishi Sunak was incredibly rude in not telling Suella Braverman to her face he was sacking her, simply informing her by telephone.
Secondly, she has discovered today, along with the rest of us that a deal was made with David Cameron a week ago for him to become Foreign Secretary, a week before she was sacked ostensibly for her criticism of the Police. Her article had not been reviewed by Downing Street nor published, James Cleverly was deeply engaged in his job as Foreign Secretary, and Cameron was nor even in Parliament.
I did not vote for Sunak because I did not trust him, and I was right.

I wonder if she'll have a Nadine Doris style book out next Christmas?

Sorry eazybee, I agree that to not have a face-to-face meeting was rude but while talks with Mr Cameron may have been taking place the time scale became rather more urgent after the newspaper article. So yes DC was being cued up for Foreign Secretary but the whole thing was speeded up as a result of Suella Braverman's actions.

Much as I dislike the woman - he owed her the courtesy at least of informing her face to face.

I think he did it by 'phone - because he's a coward.

I am sure the split reflected on GN between Tory voters will be reflected in parliament, and at about the same ratio as far as I can make out.

A council of war by the right was held yesterday and only 30 MPs turned up.

Braverman is going to find it hard going to try to attract Tory MPs support.

I don’t believe her account. I suspect he told her in person some time ago, but regardless, it’s completely unprofessional to brazenly go against advice as a minister, and whatever the circumstances of your leaving a job to publicly criticise your boss and expect all your colleagues to back you is beyond arrogant. I think she’s lost support and respect over the way she has handled herself - I’m surprised if as many as 30 MPs are still willing to support her.

Casdon is there any particular aspect of SB’s account which you disbelieve I wonder? I am surprised that it’s got to this point - but I think Sunak has shown very little skill in the way he has handled SB and her dismissal. I am inclined to give SB the benefit of the doubt.

Yes there is ronib. I don’t believe that she didn’t know beforehand that she was going to be sacked. I think she’s trying to make political capital in implying that Sunak is scared of her and daren’t tell her face to face. I think she’s a liar.

Yep!!

Casdon but Sunak didn’t have the courtesy to tell SB face to face. Probably not cowardly but arrogant? Probably thought SB wouldn’t be too much of an issue once booted out? Wrong judgement though?

A horrible, truly nasty one.

Well I don’t think so much of Sunak either.

Very damming!
