Her companion on the couch asker her "what don't; you think there are enough unemployed people".

She also insisted everyone in social housing should start businesses out of them, and use them as office, inferring everyone was lazy not to do so. Insisting they lacked ambition and aspiration.

She was adamant about this for months.

Around 2% of social housing tenants can start a business out of their Social Housing and council house.. as doing so would go against practically everyones tenancy agreement. Think your social housing provider cannot recategorise their social housing as business addresses, as it would really fuck them up and out of various tax benefits.

Suella Braverman has just posted on X her letter to the PM following her sacking in the reshuffle yesterday. In it she says she only agreed to back him for the leadership last autumn, after Liz Truss resigned, after he agreed to conditions that were put down in writing, which included cutting legal migration, not watering down key pieces of Brexit legislation and publishing statutory guidance to schools to protect biological sex.
Braverman says Sunak has gone back on all these promises.
And she accuses him of opting for “wishful thinking as a comfort blanket to avoid having to make hard choices”.
These claims are incendiary. On his first day as PM Sunak promised “integrity, professionalism and accountability”. She claims to have evidence that blows this apart.

Neither can she comment on integrity, accepting her post and 'supporting' Sunak the way she did.


Looking at the Tory letter, interesting to note that they defend 'free speech', but only when people agree with their 'common sense' opinions....

Campaigners have raised concerns over a potential conflict of interest for the new UK environment secretary, Steve Barclay, whose wife is a senior executive at Anglian Water.

This summer, Anglian Water pleaded guilty to allowing millions of litres of untreated sewage to overflow from a water recycling centre in Essex. It was fined £2.65m, the largest penalty imposed for environmental offences in the east of England region.

She is both mad and deluded! However this is a rallying call to her right wing nutter MP mates and a call out to Tice, Farage etc for the next GE. To write this letter is just a measure of her anger and indeed spite about being rolled over by the Head Boy who has now brought in Dodgy Dave as air cover. This is going to get very juicy indeed, popcorn and G&T at the ready!

Meanwhile, as the Tories get into a playground brawl, the country is in perilous state, economy is flat lining, winter is going to kill the old and the infirm, levels of deprivation and child poverty are growing, the NHS will struggle to keep its head above water, there is even more shit in the sea and rivers, mortgage arrears and defaults are going up, Brexit is becoming an even bigger pile of shite, Border checks and tariffs on goods coming from EU are to be implemented soon, etc. At least we have Dodgy 'cut the Green Crap' Dave and his trusted finance Chinese mates to keep the UK foreign policy on an even keel whilst the world temperatures exceed the 1.5 degree limit and we have our hottest year on record! It is all going swimmingly - thank fuck we had 13 years of austerity otherwise things might have got really bad!

It absolutely beggars belief that there are sections of this country that think she is doing the right thing and that she is the best person for Britain.

It’s such a depressing and soul destroying thing to look at politics and the policies this now overtly crooked country is trying to enact.

Indeed. 10 years ago Braverman would have been scorned like we did Marie Le Pen and her policies. These days she’s mainstream. Broken Britain.

"He lied about letting me drown people' isn't quite the knife in the back she might believe it to be.

Well, she ought not have anything to say, but we can be certain she will. Unless Sunak has something up his sleeve to force the evil witch to stay dead now that the bell has gone 'ding dong'.

That New Conservatives letter may as well have been written by activists it's so delusional. Recognising chronic wage stagnation and regional inequality, then swearing the post-2016 Tory policy was aimed at doing anything to address it

The prime minister asked me to join his government to help bring about the common sense changes the country needs. Given the scale of the challenges we face, it is incumbent on all of us to do what we can, and I will roll up my sleeves and do my best for the government and the country.
But this was far from an easy decision for me to make as it means relinquishing my role on GB News – in particular presenting a show I love with Phil [Davies]. I don’t think it is a coincidence that when the prime minister looked for a champion for common sense he selected someone from GB News – the home of common sense.

Thérèse Coffey said she “nearly died” due to the stress of being a government minister.

Speaking to BBC Radio Suffolk, the former environment secretary said she was admitted to hospital after “working [herself] into the ground”.

Coffey, 51, who had been widely tipped to be in line to be sacked by Rishi Sunak during his cabinet reshuffle, resigned from her role on Monday.

“Nearly five years ago I got so ill, I nearly, dare I say it, died,” she said. “I was in hospital for a month with some of the stresses that happen with ministerial life.

Supreme court concludes Rwanda policy unlawful because of risks to asylum seekers being sent there
Reed says, given this evidence, the court of appeal concluded that there were good grounds for thinking asylum seekers going to Rwanda were at risk.

He says the supreme court is unanimously of the view that the court of appeal was right.

Tempted to say the whole Rwanda issue has just been one big dead cat! The legal opinion was pretty firm on this and I am positive that ministers would have received the same legal advice from their civil service lawyers. However they decided to go ahead as a 'wedge issue' and something to hang their coat on for the get out of ECHR etc issues they really want to pursue. I have no doubt lefty lawyers, woke EU, get out of ECHR, enemies of the people, etc will be all over the right wing media in next few days.

The Torygraph already has "Who are these judges?" column naming , and presumably in their own minds, shaming them.

The New Conservatives group, which Braverman is meeting with this morning has as its first manifesto wish, "Replace Labour's European rights and equalities laws
with a new British framework for rights and freedoms."

It was fucking Churchill who was the driving force behind setting up the ECHR, the idiotic, lying bastards that they are, anyone who gets taken in, yet again, is a complete fool.
