Suella Braverman. Is she always like that or is she unwell?

[newnamethanks]

Dear Lord above, I've seen people removed and banned from pubs for less. She's the Home Secretary. What have we come to?

Sacked surely? Bye Sue Ellen, take your nasty manners back to Dallas.

Have a celebration meal everyone

She was amazing.

I see Braverman has either resigned or been sacked. I wonder who’s next.

She’s getting into position for the top job…we are all fucked

I agree, Corbyn shamed the lot of them with his his calm polite behaviour, and the way he represented the actual concerns of ordinary people. I remember Cameron taking the piss out of him for bringing questions from real people. Of course the Tories thought that was hilarious - you know actually listening to, and representing people who have elected you!

Slight aside, but I don't believe for one minute that her teachers called her Suella. I think she did it herself because she's a nasty little snob.

Well she just resigned

Awww, poor old Sue. I hope someone sends her a bouquet of tofu to commiserate.

To think the Tories used to be seen as the safest pair of hands. It's jaw dropping how this zombie government lurch from one drama to the next. ERG loons. Fire the lot of them.

If the Tory party members didn't vote for Sunak, Sue Ellen has no chance.

(obviously I've just jinxed us all and she will declare herself PM for the next 30 years)

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

There were discussions about Sajid Javid returning to role - but they ended after he threatened to name Truss’s comms director

Multiple sources told me this avo that Braverman was being sacked - with some claiming at behest of Jeremy Hunt who they said was now “pulling the strings".

(No 10 sources still denying she was "sacked" - and Hunt's people denying responsibility)

Now peston reporting that Suella Braverman has been asked to resign over an issue relating to “security" - but Tory right feeling that she has been stitched up. None of this will make Truss's life any easier...

WTAF is going on.

I am reasonably literate, but I just can't follow Peston's Twitter thread right now. WTAF is going on? It's too complicated! Shapps did what? Javid said what?

Massive Downing St pile on against AT sajidjavid

. “If Saj hadn’t humiliated the PM” - by forcing her to suspend adviser Stein - “he’d probably be home secretary now, not Shapps”. Wow. Rome is burning

wtf indeed.

Honestly I’m not sure what to think anymore. My bills are out of control, my fuel to get to work is costing me a fortune and I spend a lot of time in traffic jams. I don’t trust any of them. They lied about the fuel cap. They will lie about the triple lock. They are going to cut public sector budgets yet we haven’t recovered from the last cuts when we were all in this together. But bankers bonuses and MP salaries are fine and dandy.

Congrats OP - looks like Truss is now turning to mumsnwt for guidance

You could be the next kingmaker

British politics right now makes me feel like I've come into a TV series where I watched the first season so I know the basic premise and some of the characters, but I missed seasons two and three and so nothing makes any sense apart from the fact that the setting is the same and some of the faces are recognisable.

If Mary Elizabeth is on here: stop humiliating yourself, woman. Call a general election and resign.

They're such a pack of petty little shits.

Yeah, you focus on your hurt feelings, Liz. Don't let Javid sit at your table for lunch.

Now AT SamCoatesSky reporting that Braverman forced out because of an email sent on her phone...Did she commit a security breach?
Wild old day getting wilder.

Tom Larkin AT tomlarkin
From AT SamCoatesSky live on Sky now: "This is not a resingation on principle, it's a resignation after an 'honest mistake'.

"There was an incident involving Suella Braverman sharing secure information on a private phone."

Suella Braverman was sacked: PM was advised that the ministerial code had been breached

I'm a fighter, not a quitter.

Sent an official email from her personal email account. I suspect there's more to it, or she just wanted a quick and easy release after today's tofu and wokeism...

She’s gone now anyway!

I'm confused. Tory MPs don't resign for "honest mistakes" or breaching the ministerial code.

what a shambles
