Suella Braverman statement

“It has been the greatest privilege of my life to serve as home secretary. I will have more to say in due course.”

I bet she has......

She can crawl back under her rock thank you

What is your evidence for that? The polls suggest otherwise.

Well, the fact is that it wasn't too dangerous even for Gove. So your point just doesn't work.

Pretty sure Braverman is delighted.
She can come right out into the open now (as if she wasn't before). She's not interested in the next election - it's all about getting the leadership now.

Fucks sake. Just call a general election.

this is ridiculous. Incompetence was bad enough but this is just farcical. If you’re scrapping wood chips off the bottom of the barrel just admit where you are!

That's because he is (or was) Foreign Secretary.

How much of a party will there be left to lead when the job becomes vacant?

Just call an election Rishi and put us all out of our misery

She can get on with being a racialist from the back benches like Powell. I think she is irredeemably soiled by her article. It was that bad

I wonder if Sunak also had a preview of the decision in the Rwanda case?

Good point. That’s definitely a possibility.

CallMeDave to be Foreign Secretary? The ERG will be furious. He's not an MP though. How could that work?

We've found out this morning (most of us) that he can be made a Lord, and then they can give him any job they want!

I despise Cameron for the whole referendum mess, but I can see that appointing him would not be a stupid idea. One of the main defects with Sunak's cabinet has been lack of experience, including lack of experience in opposition, because Johnson basically got rid of all the ministers with any sense. This begins to remedy it, and it's particularly important to have someone experienced in the FO currently.

Plus it's pleasing that Sunak hasn't been stupid enough to promote Jenrick.

BBC are suggesting that Braverman was sacked from the government outright because she made it clear she wouldn't accept a more junior post. No surprises there.

Pippa Crerar (Guardian Political Editor, v reliable) says on Twitter that Cleverly is the new Home Sec, so seems possible that they will make Cameron the Foreign Sec

Thank you Tokyo

31sBREAK: The King has been pleased to approve the appointment of the Rt Hon James Cleverly MP as Secretary of State for the Home Department.
This follows the departure from Government of the Rt Hon Suella Braverman KC MP.

Confirmed now

It's an admission from Sunak that his current bunch of ministers are a disaster.

Oh God, the amusingly inappropriately named Cleverly - was he really the best Sunak could find? Yvette Cooper will have him for breakfast.

James Cleverly home sec

OOPS, sorry for the x post.

Twitter seems pretty sure DC is the new Foreign Sec, crikey.

Well the return of Cameron is certainly a turn up for the books. I'm still angry about Brexit but I believe that he didn't think Leave would win.

After the turmoil of the last few years and the 'rise' of idiots like Braverman and Jenrick etc, I think it's actually quite a good idea to bring DC back in. Steady the ship type approach.

I'd be surprised if it was actually Sunak's idea though. I don't credit him with that much intelligence.

I bet Boris will be fuming.

Nominative determism in reverse
