tories always vote with their conscience. which tells you a lot about them.We will see if there are any Tories who will vote with their conscience. Whichever way it goes, the suspicion of a widescale cover up will hang over her.
this was Rudd's first back-bench activity, at PMQs today.What will be fun now is just how bitter Rudd feels now - and how loyal the Tory heavy mob can induce her to be.
If ever anyone was fantastically placed to cause all sorts of hell from the back benches, it's her (alongside Morgan, Soubry, Grieve and God knows how many other ex - ministers).
Bearing in mind the root cause of this scandal is the 2014 Act pushed through by her predecessor - that is, the current PM - she really has taken the rap for her.
This could be great fun...
depends whether she thinks she has a way back in, and how soon - and how.An ambitious young politician like Amber Rudd (she's only bowedeen in parliament 8 years) is not going to make trouble on the benches.
It's early days... Heseltine professed undying loyalty - then went for itthis 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.

A grandmother has arrived back in London after spending eight years trapped in Jamaica. Gretel Gocan was on a visit to the country in 2010 when her passport, which showed her right to remain, was stolen and the replacement didn't have the right information.
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.
Not sure, haven't watched the video and I'm just about to start work so can't watch now.Fucking hell. Yeah it doesn't surprise me at all sadly, was this after Cameron was in or before?
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.
hereSpeaking to 5 News, Ms Gocan's daughter Pauline Blackwood said her mother had been stranded in Jamaica with no money and no pension.
The 81-year-old says she came to the UK in 1960 and never applied for a British passport, but had a stamp in her Jamaican passport granting her indefinite leave to remain.
That document was stolen in 2006 and when she went to Jamaica on a new passport in 2010 she found herself refused permission to return to the UK and told she needed a visa, she said.
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.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?
yeh you were right to say that this was incredible above.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.
I still think it's outrageous, even if it isn't incredible in the literal sense.yeh you were right to say that this was incredible above.
Yeah, it's as good as saying "yeah, well, we don't care about that, or about being caught lying, so fuck you all".From the people that brought you "Hostile environment"....
She'll be back within 9 months.
quick reminder of Amber Rudd's safe sex poem.
Is she a mug or what?
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.
