[Politics] Amber Rudd has resigned

[GT49er]

How long before a Burnley fan comes on to justify deporting West Indian immigrants?

Hmmm.....let's think about that.



Quite a long time, maybe?

Quick. Attack Corbyn, we ****ed up again!
Think that is the usual strategy. Isnt it?

These are the people who are leading us into the unknown. Unbelievable shambles. Again.

Is it worth a punt on Diane?

Nice to see Ladbrokes Politics are up to speed on Diane Abbotts impending move across to the Tories

Amber thought she had the green light to carry on but read the signals wrongly.

When is he resigning? The nasty man.

Please not Gove

 

[vegster]

She is still better than anything Labour have to offer

You sound like you have the annoying job of having to remove a life size poster off your bedroom wall?

 

[melias shoes]

It could be worse, it really could. We could have Abbot in that position. Dear God!

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I understand that for some time they have been talking about her giving up on tiny majority in Hastings and moving to Mid Sussex.

The old Chicken Run. Is Fatty Soames standing down then?

 

[Blue3]

Had to go either lied or not doing the job properly left position untenable, tricky position to fill plenty of looney Tories to choose from

Labours only way of getting support these days is to count on people who have never lived under Labour before, that's generally people who come to this country to work, and young people who believe labour will hand them a pot of gold. This is why labour are so keen to reduce the age in which you are allowed to vote, because they can no longer rely on their old voters anymore, after they pissed so many of us off.

So they say. Not standing at the next election.

It’s a good job there’s no easily available medium which young people, and people who have never lived in the U.K., can access on a variety of devices and read about the very recent past.

Just think it is ridiculous that a mistake causes so much disruption to a government department. Not prejudice to either side of the political debate, as it was same when labour were in power. This "you must resign" when mistake occurs does not hold for any continuity. How can a department function when its boss moves every 12 months (rightly or wrongly)?

Hmm - There's mistakes and there's Amber Rudd..... It wasn't just (a set of) mistakes, it was incompetence and deception. That she was so arrogant that she thought she could ride this out says a lot about what the tories think of themselves.

That her predecessor as Home Sec received THAT letter from Rudd should lead to some very interesting questions.

I blame Corbyn.

 

[Questions]

I’m still struggling to see wha Theresa hopes to gain on this. Just giving in To Diane Abbott.

Tsk.

Rudd - majority in her constituency of Hastings and Rye - 346
Abbott - Majority in her constituency of Hackney North and Stoke Newington - over 11,000

So someone likes her.

Rees mogg

He is the man

The bigger picture. They see the best way to de-rail Brexit is to de-rail the Government.

You'll have to explain that one to me: I don't see how making the government more pro-Brexit derails it. Nor why the Home Office should be solidly pro-remain but civil servants in other departments aren't.

Don't get me wrong: I know that civil servants can (and do) make life uncomfortable for ministers and that could have happened here. But I think it's more likely because civil servants felt themselves under attack just for putting in place government policies.

Can you imagine that HT ? A place where views and debate take place like never before.
Some sort of ........... oh I don’t know it’s just pie in the sky....... but just imagine youngsters being able to gain more inside knowledge of politics whilst the oldies carry on reading the Express, Mail, Sun etc .

Rees mogg

He is the man

I know he is a moderate but what’s are his views on animal porn ?
