Braverman said to have “breached the ministerial code”, according to BBC1.

Oh I thought the code left with Boris?

DuncinToffee · 19/10/2022 16:58

Honest mistake, according to Sky 🍿

What thinking she was a suitable person to be an MP?

🚨 “I have concerns about the direction of this government”, says Suella Braverman in scathing resignation letter, accusing Truss of “broken pledges”.

The official reason she is going is because she sent an official document from her personal email.

Braverman gone.

👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🙄

Although that probably means suffering her around town more.

Notonthestairs · 19/10/2022 17:02

Braverman's letter - honourably admitting a mistake and then sticking the knife firmly in.

The direction of this government.

Does she mean it's not going in the direction of right as much as she'd like it too?

Because her latest statements show she's completely salivating over the idea of no freedoms and planes to Rwanda.

I'm really pleased though she's been caught breaking the code.

She's so stuck up she thinks she's perfect wonder woman.

Turns out - she ain't GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

“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.”

I am impressed she knows which direction the government is going in, she must be the only one.
Why do they bear such a resemblance to a push me pull me?

HonorHiding · 19/10/2022 17:04

I read this as: I made a trivial mistake with no real security implications. You have had the nerve to sack me, albeit allowing me to present it as a resignation. Watch out now I’m on the back benches.

DuncinToffee · 19/10/2022 17:05

Tofu or not Tofu

The Sun's Harry Cole said Braverman & Truss had massive row last night about immigration & visas.

DuncinToffee · 19/10/2022 17:08

Very likely the India deal

This from Kitty Donaldson at Bloomberg

Suella Braverman gone as Home Secretary - not clear what has happened. Told it’s security related
Grant Shapps expected to be the new Home Secretary
twitter.com/steven_swinford/status/1582756907122450432?s=46&t=89Aser4vOAqr6aSSrnZNxA
Security related???????

Grant Shapps, the bloke with multiple other identities who it's alleged is an illegal seller of pyramids schemes? That Grant Shapps?

That Kitty Donaldson tweet linked to -

"As the former Energy Minister who signed Net Zero into law, for the sake of our environment and climate, I cannot personally vote tonight to support fracking and undermine the pledges I made at the 2019 General Election.

I am prepared to face the consequences of my decision."

Notonthestairs · 19/10/2022 17:12

I meant Kitty Donaldson followed it up with the Chris Skidmire tweet.

itsgettingweird · 19/10/2022 17:13

Chris Skidmore - former energy Secretary - has refused to adhere to the 3 line whip and is prepared to accept the consequences.

It's on the tweet above.

They are being ripped apart at the seams.

itsgettingweird · 19/10/2022 17:13

X posts!

Notonthestairs · 19/10/2022 17:14

Grin Tracey Crouch "ditto" to Chris Skidmore.

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 19/10/2022 17:15

Expect a flurry of refusals to abide by the whip

She's done

tobee · 19/10/2022 17:16

In rubbish at doing twitter links it was meant to show the bit about Malthouse and Badenoch on resignation watch if it didn’t

She is shameless. Any why does the Speaker allow time to be wasted on fatuous friendly questions?

I was also wondering about this ,from a quick google it seems that MPs wishing to ask questions put their names down a week in advance .They don't have to give details of the question .Names are shuffled and drawn randomly and the winners notified .

PMQT

At PMQT the leader of the opposition can ask 6 questions ,all at once or in two blocks of 3 .Followed by leader of next largest party who can ask 2 .

Then the Speaker allows the selected questioners to ask their questions .This is done with alternating parties ,one Tory followed by a Labour .Not sure where SNP ,LD and others fit in .

I may have made some errors so happy to be corrected .

DuncinToffee · 19/10/2022 17:19

Cummings has tweeted

given Gvt docs, incl OFF-SEN, are routinely circulated by top no10 & CABOFF officials by gmail and whatsapp DAILY, the idea that sending a draft WMS via gmail = sacking/resignation offence is laughable.
^^
clearly fired by PM / Hunt
