Suella Braverman's time is up.

[Wilf]

Apparently Mr Kunt has penned a little ditty about our dear Prime Minister's resemblance to Rattus Norvegious.

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

Honestly, I quite like Stella. And Carlsberg. Maybe this is one for the unpopular opinions thread but I genuinely don't mind a bog-standard lager.

No offence Kevbad, couldn't resist.

I think that was predictive text getting the better of me.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

“Rat boy” is a racial slur.

It's offensive to lovely rats for a start, as rats are great.

 

[floyd99]

Though would be nice if we had an Opposition that was more like Attila the Stockbroker than Attila the Hun

Um, are those the only two options? I've only met one of them and I'm 50/50 re opting for the Hun tbh.

I believe the majority of rats are registered tory.

 

[Lord Camomile]

For me the term tends towards the technocratic and raising professional/upper middle class experiences over others.

Yeah, I can understand that. Dunno if it makes a difference, but for me, by "qualified" I just mean "actually knows what they're bloody talking about", or at the very least is both able and willing to learn.

Like, I dunno, it'd be nice to have a 'Brexit Secretary' who understands the importance of the Dover-Calais route to UK trade, or a Culture Secretary who knows that Channel 4 isn't publicly funded.

I'm certainly not talking about formal qualifications or 'owt. I'd generally think it's preferable for ministers to have some kind of practical experience in the area of their portfolio, but obviously I accept, due to the nature of representative democracy, that there's no guarantee that you'll get a complete set from what the public, in their infinite wisdom ( ), give you to work with.

My roland rat mug. I think this is where the Sunak rat stuff originated ( not this actual mug obvs)

 

[Kaka Tim]

made me chuckle ..

 

[donkyboy]

Horrid, vile individual. can't stand seeing her on print or TV.

 

[krtek a houby]

Suella Braverman is always well dressed.​

Fuck off, Suella

 

[_Russ_]

hmm

with a very few exceptions, i'd say that wanting to be an MP should immediately disqualify you from the job...

A beleif i've long shared, applies to police also imo

 

[Mezzer]

Now she wants to ban the marches. FFS.

Rat Fans Fact; RR’s mate Errol the Hamster shares a birthday with me and Crispy - sorry but the rest of your week will be an anticlimax after that news.

Nowhere for her to go but double down is there

 

[savoloysam]

I think it's (not) hilarious how she is crying about "the streets being filled with hate" while... Well. Hmm well spouting hate

He looks nothing like the boomtown rats' photo

She walks down streets with no shame

South Georgia is an obvious option

 

[kabbes]

If you just tell half a million angry people that want to march against government policy that they’re not allowed, that’ll sort it out. They’ll just go, “oh, alright then.”

She will perform one useful duty in her life, bring transformed into penguin feed on ascension island before being scattered as penguin breakfast for the adelie penguins beneath coffin top

I’ll calling it: Braverman’s sacking will take place today, or tomorrow at the absolute latest. The Supreme Court is handing down its Rwanda ruling on Weds, Sunak won’t want to sack Braverman after that, because if the government lose, it’ll look like he’s scapegoating her for a policy he backed. The gov can’t keep somebody the police said this about:

Police say Suella Braverman’s claims of force’s bias ‘a factor’ in attacks on them | Suella Braverman | The Guardian

Officers believe claims made before Saturday’s pro-Palestinian march stoked far-right violence

I agree, but would also add, if the government wins on Wed it's going to be hard to sack her for being successful with that policy.

[tony.c]

She has been sacked. Just announced on radio. Asked by Sunak to leave Government. Not offered another job.

Whilst Braverman is popular amongst the membership, I've not been convinced that she's popular with Tory voters, they tend to be more moderate than the membership, so I am not surprised to read this from the LibDems.

Danny Chambers, who will fight for the Conservative ultra-marginal seat of Winchester, said sentiments about Braverman were so intense that some voters whose homes were near what will be her new seat under boundary changes were delighted to learn she will not be their MP. Chambers said a recent canvassing trip to a village on the edge of the two constituencies left him thinking Braverman was “one of our best recruiting tools”.

“Door after door there were people who thought they were going to have Braverman as their next MP and they were just over the moon to hear they weren’t,” he said. “One guy even shouted up to his wife to come down to talk to us, for me to tell her again.

“These are proper Tory villages, and they’re really pleased to see us. It’s mainly because of Braverman. They just find her completely distasteful.”

I guess doubling down sealed her fate if it wasn’t already sealed

 

[TopCat]

Bye bye

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Bets on who replaces her?

 

[cupid_stunt]

So, Sunak has 'complete confidence' in Braverman, so gone by Monday?

It's so predictable what's coming down the line when the 'complete confidence' words are put out.

I can't see her getting sacked tbh. Sunak's desperate not to recreate the endless merry-go-round of senior ministers from Johnson's tenure. Moral bankruptcy and endless failure aren't things that bother him. If they were, he'd not have appointed Braverman in the first place. She'd already lost one front bench job by being unable to do even the most basic shit properly, she was a known crank and an obvious liability. Sunak still gave her the job.

You were saying?

Bring the endless merry-go-round on.
