Suella Braverman's time is up.

[Bingoman]

Are the marchers even due to pass by the Cenotaph?

no there not

 

[Pickman's model]

Let's face it, demonstrations on a Saturday are an insult to Judaism, demonstrations on a Friday are an insult to Islam, and demonstrations on a Sunday are an insult to Christianity.
Why can't they march on a Monday?

so they're insults to religions but not to people.

 

[Pickman's model]

I am sorry to say that only kind intelligent people understand my point.

most people would understand your point. few of them would think you intelligent for making it.

there was talk about Bravermans husband this morning on this thread and wether the fact he was Jewish or not was relevant....seems it is pretty relevant tbh

Police must understand that Jews do count, says Braverman

Home Secretary tells JC that the Government is cracking down on antisemitism with new task force

www.thejc.com

"Part of the reason for her anger is that her husband, Rael, is Jewish. “The Jewish community is our community,” she said. “My husband is a proud Jew and Zionist.

“He’s lived in Israel. We have close family members who serve in the IDF. My children will be raised with a strong sense of Jewish values and their Jewish heritage. We enjoy Friday night dinners at our mother-in-law’s.


...hardly unpartisan

DISOWNS!!

No 10 disowns Suella Braverman article attacking police over protests​

No 10 disowns Suella Braverman article attacking police over protests

The home secretary is facing questions about her future over her incendiary article about protests.

www.bbc.co.uk

The BBC has been told Downing Street had suggested major changes to Ms Braverman's Times article but not all of them had been applied when it was published.
The prime minister's spokesperson said Downing Street was "looking into what happened" - but they added Mr Sunak had full confidence in the home secretary.
The ministerial code says all major interviews and media appearances, both print and broadcast, should "be agreed with the No 10 Press Office".

Could he make himself look more weak and ineffectual whilst still being tarred with her batshittery? He'd have to go some.

 

[pesh]

The article will not be invited to Christmas dinner this year

I can't wait for the title of this thread to be accurate

Sunak can push her out of the current govt, but that doesn't mean she won't resurface. Sadly, she will get through life just fine. Unlike all the folk she is willing to punch down on.

 

[TopCat]

Her position is in the balance for sure. Maybe she will call for the return of the workhouse to shore her up with the right of her party.

 

[Bingoman]

This to me seems that Sunak is not in full control and taking soundings of his backbenchers

 

[TopCat]

Let’s see if the bookies are offering odds yet.

13/2 for Braverman to be next Tory leader.

 

[BristolEcho]

Austerity aside, Theresa May was a pretty good Home Secretary. Tougher with policing culture issues than any of her successors, really pushed for VAWG and modern slavery to be taken seriously.

She is an awful human being and her approach to drug policy was appalling.

 

[two sheds]

That would apply to just about all Home Secretaries though I think, particularly our current Hate Secretary though.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

She is an awful human being and her approach to drug policy was appalling.

She was also a key player in the Windrush scandal. She somehow managed to get away with that when it came out.

Again! I kicked it off as an ironic take on the fact that so few people's time is up but her time was up.

This is so meta now that I think I've completed the internet.

Fucking is too.

was PM and made her successor as Home Sec, shoulder the blame. No mystery

tsk and there was everyone thinking braverman was a nice wet liberal. Now we can see how Jewish her in-laws are we know why she's so partisan! Her blatant islamophobia and disgust for poor people wasn't nearly enough to push her onto the Israeli side; I wonder if all the gammonati still standing with Israel have Jewish in-laws?

I'm not after a row, I just think this is a dodgy cul de sac best left to wither. Especially after seeing how eagerly le Dwyer leapt on it. Braverman doesn't need Jewish in-laws to explain why she's taking the stand she's taking. Dare I even say that even mentioning her Jewish in-laws as a reason she'd be partisan (despite all we've learned about her personal and political views up till now) at least resembles that old trope where we nudge each other and go eh look, (((the power behind the power))).

Yes, I dare. While we're swimming through these very very muddy waters, please let's try not come here again.

"lord True"?

Who the fuck are these people?

Yes this can't be accurate as I Don’t belove even moat party members have a clue who half of them are.

The important words in the article are not that he is Jewish but that she brags to the Jewish Chronicle no less that he is a Zionist, quickly followed up with familial support for the IDF in her quote. This is utterly different to her husband being "Jewish" - meaningless on its own, and that's what I thought the conversation was about earlier. This quote on the other hand is laying out a very particular political position and allegiance.
