tories always vote with their conscience. which tells you a lot about them.
this was Rudd's first back-bench activity, at PMQs today.
Amber Rudd, who resigned as home secretary on Sunday night, starts by congratulating Sajid Javid on his appointment. She says the UK threat level remains at severe. Last year five terrorist attacks got through. Will May share with her her admiration for the work of the security services?
May says she is pleased to be able to pay tribute to Rudd for the work she did as home secretary. She says Rudd’s work with internet companies was ground breaking. And she says she agrees with what Rudd said about the work of the intelligence agencies and emergency services.
Great fun.

depends whether she thinks she has a way back in, and how soon - and how.
She may decide a period of 'principled independent thinking' followed by a coup is her best bet. It also depends how. much worse things get for May.
On balance though, you're probably right.
When push comes to shove, she will be a loyal, disciplined soldier. Tories usually are

It's early days... Heseltine professed undying loyalty - then went for it
She'll be back within 9 months.

Windrush: Grandmother allowed re-entry after 8 years in Jamaica
This is absolutely incredible, and it confirms that the problem goes back far further than Amber Rudd's time as Home Secretary.

Fucking hell. Yeah it doesn't surprise me at all sadly, was this after Cameron was in or before?

Not sure, haven't watched the video and I'm just about to start work so can't watch now.
But the possibility that it started pre-Cameron occurred to me too...

Thinking about it, this case is different to those which were the start of this story, which was about people who had always had full right to live in Britain etc, but had never had to acquire documents to prove it - this woman had a British passport and the authorities fucked up reissuing it.
But I bet if I'd lost my passport while on holiday it wouldn't have taken 8 years for me to be allowed back.

Its happened to two of my friends. When it happened in Berlin (maybe 10 years ago) there was a place at Tiegel airport which could issue a 24 hour temporary passport or something to get him home. Got a grilling when he got back into the UK mind but was all OK.
When it happened to a different friend in Prague a few years back he had to go to the UK embassy to get it sorted but again it was all straight forward.

But the above posts relate to British passports, no?
once upon a time an ink stamp in a passport was the only proof one way or other of entry, exit or entitlement. In our database society that's all changed (except for the records deliberately destroyed), but if her stamp dated back many years, how likely is it that there would be a record that the Jamaican authorities could confirm with the British?

I misunderstood the story that I read on the BBC as meaning that she had a British passport, and also that the passport was stolen while she was on holiday. Neither of these seem to be the case, so apologies for any confusion I've introduced.

yeh you were right to say that this was incredible above.

I still think it's outrageous, even if it isn't incredible in the literal sense.

Yeah, it's as good as saying "yeah, well, we don't care about that, or about being caught lying, so fuck you all".
And what better place to deliver a big fat "fuck you" to the populace-at-large than DWP?

Loving You Is So Exciting
Darling, let us spend the night,
Sashay past St Mary’s Castle,
Home to bed,
dim the light,
I’ll move your world throughout the night,
Oh, honeyed words are most enticing,
Loving you is so exciting.
But why dear heart,
did you not mention,
What we’ll do for contraception?
‘Don’t you worry, we’ll be fine,
Take a risk, just this time,
‘Tonight’s for pleasure, take a chance,
‘Think of now, and our romance.’
Oh, darling you are less appealing.
What you say is so revealing,
If risk is in your mood and speech,
How about bingo on the beach?

That job is a poison chalice given the UC report is due out...McVile jumped ship to avoid being held accountable for it. 'We're making work pay...' Yes okay Esther! Rudd took the kicking last time for May. These careerist cunts really will do anything.

That's it really, in times gone by, there were people in parliament, on both sides of the house, who genuinely wanted to better the lot of the people. Now it is a power game, to try and see just how far you can maximise profit, before triggering a civil war.
