Oh, Sunak has made her look like the poisonous fool she is. I bet she is fuming. Maybe she will resign in protest.

I love your optimism.

The frothers on the tents threads will be gutted.

I think it's more like she wants him to sack her so she can start her leadership bid.

He should sack her and should have done a long time ago but this is Inaction Man.

He’s got to keep the ERG head bangers happy.

Yes, good point @DuncinToffee

Resign? She should be sacked. I know the sad ranks of UKIP, NF, BNP have signed up for membership of the Tories but she seems to have mistaken them and their poisonous views as representative of "the British People". She is wrong. She is a rabble rousing opportunist and, Suella, Hate Speech Is Wrong. So stop it.

I have a suspicion she always knew it was never going to get through the aim was to make Rishi look bad by not allowing it. Unfortunately I think she’s miscalculated the number of Tory voters who thought this was a good idea. Like many things it’s just the far right fritters not the typical Tory voters.

if they continue on this trajectory there’s going to be an interesting gap for a centre right party. Probably filled by the Labour Party but I’d interested to see whether any of those centre right Tories that got kicked out over various aspects of Brexit could get re-elected now if they stood.

I’d edit out fritters but I’ve got no idea what I was trying to type.

Nutters?

I think it was supposed to be voters.

Nutters will do.

Brilliant news about the tent policy.

Where does this leave the MNers who thought it was a splendid idea?

The most ridiculous thing I had initially missed in the whole plan was the idea of fining the people in the tents...

She knew full well that it would never come to pass. There's not a court in the land that would enforce this as it's a clear breach of Article 25 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

'Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control'

Sunak dumped it as it's a can of worms the tories definitely don't want to be opening in front of a judge.

Charles doesn't look very convinced reading out his speech

Rishi Sunak says that his Trans-Pacific trade deal will demonstrate the huge benefits of Brexit as it will reduce the price of Chilean fruit juice and Malaysian vacuum cleaners.

How does the reduced price of Chilean Fruit juice compare to the price of EU produced fruit juice?

And why would anyone want Malaysian vacuum cleaners when the Malaysian version of Which? doesn't rate any of them high enough to include in its best buys list? (Yes I checked) Unless he refering to tory donor vacuums.

Dyson manufactures in Malaysia doesn't it?

Yep. Ship your manufacturing to Malaysia and then screw the UK over with your tory chums so you can still sell your ridiculously overpriced vacuum cleaners.

Brexit dividend.

That King's Speech contained:

1. The most words in a monarch's speech since 2005.
2. The fewest Bills in a monarch's speech since 2014.

Many words. Minimal action.

Starmer tells Sunak to "think very carefully" about how Braverman reflects on his gov't.

🔥"Without a serious Home Secretary there can be no serious gov't and he cannot be a serious PM. Homelessness is a choice. It's a political choice."

Sunak's discomfort is palpable. ~AA

The king, who has lots of houses, announcing a bill by a government whose leader has lots of houses fining homeless people for having tents would be quite a look.

Seen rumours the the Kings Speech was light on substance because they are planning an early election - it's the hope that gets you!

No. 10 apparently has full confidence in Braverman...

That is usually the kiss of death, isn't it?

@Notonthestairs that would be wonderful.
