Suella Braverman's time is up.

[steeplejack]

Doubly bad as, iirr, Lineker usually played as the forward on the right, Chris Waddle was on the left.

amusing as directly the opposite in political terms; Gary liberal-left with Waddle a right wing Brexiteer.

With the usual caveats about the boy Line-acher ....this is cracking from CWS:

Oh, FFS...

Anyone decent (ethically & professionally) would have left by now, whole office must be an absolute shitshow.

Observers of Braverman may have noticed she's gone to Rwanda to liaise with people there over the planned migrant* relocations. she also pointedly took along with her representatives from the Times, GBNews, The Express, The Mail, and The Telegraph. The BBC and the Graun were not invited:

No BBC, Guardian or Mirror on Braverman's 'vanity trip' to Rwanda

The home secretary will be accompanied by representatives from GB News, the Daily Mail, Times, Express and Telegraph.

now though the most bizarre publicity pics are appearing on Twitter:



for context the above is a crop of this:







I am having difficulty understanding how she thought these might be good publicity

*Note I am using the word 'migrant' here because that's what they are being called in this scenario. They are mostly, in reality refugees.

It's aimed at readers/viewers of those particular media and not those of the BBC and the Guardian, and what works as good publicity for the former doesn't necessarily work with the latter.

I was hoping that the sentence beginning "Suella Braverman was so impressed by the decor of the Rwanda homes" continued
"that she decided to stay there."

Yeah, I guess so but it's certainly not playing well with anyone else.

 

[andysays]

I'm not sure it's intended to play well with anyone else.

Part of the point of it is to create a sense of outrage among liberals etc, to feed the idea that without these hard right policies we'd be "invaded".

Whether that's electorally effective remains to be seen.

It probably will be effective. But not effective enough to make up for the fact they've run us into a massive hole in the ground and their only solution is to shove a few migrants into a bigger one.

At some point, probably about t-minus one year from the election, the papers will mostly stop doing tory PR work and start lining up behind labour, which will by then have been declared racist enough and backward enough to vote for again.

 

[brogdale]

Surely, the most memeable image of the year...so far...

Dowden has no actual answers here and is making my skin crawl to boot:

 

[two sheds]

You wonder why he was on the programme defending it if he didn't know the details.

Will it work though?
Tories'll be pissed off that 'illegals' are getting 'impressive' new build places?
Probably the only thing the people they're aiming this at will be happy about will be 'lefties' getting upset about it, oh, and the deportation of desperate vulnerable people obviously

I was hoping that the sentence beginning "Suella Braverman was so impressed by the decor of the Rwanda homes" continued
"that she decided to stay there."

Probably a fair few tories having this thought for different reasons too

A better life awaits you in the outer colonies...

Meanwhile come to Britain and, nominally, you'll get a free ticket to a better life. How does that dissuade people from travelling exactly?

Have they even found an airline willing to traffick refugees?

Lots of Braverman memes out there today. E.g.
