Sounds like something you'd see in the Reichstag in 1932.
Not surprisingly.
Rumours of chief whip and deputy chief whip resigning, and now a tweet of some whips man handling a tory MP into the No lobby
She rose so high, and Patel before her, because of the hard right steerage of British politics in general, over the past decade and a bit.
I had cause, in an online debate elsewhere, to search for a comparison of current Tory policies about immigration and asylum, with yesteryear’s BNP proposals and aspirations. I didn’t find that comparison, but I did find a compendium of their 2005 manifesto wherein, in relation to immigration and asylum-
The British National Party is proposing strict new laws regarding the asylum and immigration policies in the Great Britain. The BNP wants to stop the large influx of immigrants into Great Britain. They also believe that because of the UN convention on Refugees (1951), which mandates that immigrants must seek refuge in the nearest safe country, that immigrants are not Britain’s responsibility and have no right to seek refuge in Great Britain (http://www.bnp.org.uk/candidate2005/manifesto/manifesto2005.pdf, 2/27/07). Some of their policies include, increasing funding for existing border controls, stopping all immigration to Great Britain from places like Africa, Asia, South America, and China that have unlimited numbers of immigrants, and deporting all fake asylum seekers and immigrants with criminal backgrounds (http://www.bnp.org.uk/candidates2005/manifesto/manifesto2005.pdf, 2/27/07). Another program that we would like to set up is voluntary resettlement, where financial incentives are provided to people that return to their countries of origin (http://www.bnp.org.uk/candidates2005/manifesto/manifesto2005.pdf, 2/27/07). The BNP also intends to establish a registration program for all immigrants. There will be two phases, the first is Voluntary Registration in which illegal immigrants, who are skilled laborers, will declare their status and be allowed to stay until a British citizen is trained to replace them. Then the illegal immigrants will be given free flights back to their home country. The second phase is called Assisted Registration, where illegal immigrants who do not register will be arrested by the Ministry for National Border Security and will be held in custody until they are deported (http://www.bnp.org.uk/candidates2005/manifesto/manifesto2005.pdf, 2/27/07).
Now I may well be wrong, this is just off-the-cuff…but I think the 2022 Tories have actually delivered that 2005 BNP manifesto.
its a joke she rose so high
shes apparently (if I recall correctly) the third shortest tenured Home Secretary behind the duke of wellington (who stood in temporarily) and some dude in Pitt the Younger’s government
Both part of Blackadder III, which seems appropriate!
Braverman not a serious politician or person.
Clever move by Labour considering the Tories 2019 manifesto and how unpopular fracking is. Really shows what a stupid move it was by Truss to push fracking in the first place.
Big vote tonight on a labour fracking motion. Anyone who doesn’t vote with the government will lose the whip. Two MPs have come onto Times radio saying that they’ll vote with labour and face the consequences
will be very interesting to see the numbers that rebel
This is early days of Trump level attrition.
Sharing confidential information over a private phone....
Naked ambition and determined to cling to the greasy pole at all costs. What a delusional politician.
Apparently she's quit over an 'honest mistake'. What, like supporting Truss in the election?
I doubt it's the Bravery song!
Truss is circling the wagons. Bringing in Shapps is as clear an illustration as you can get. I’d expect more of the ideologues in cabinet to go, and be replaced by experienced centrist politicians. She’s turning away from everything she believes in (and was dreaming of, apparently, for a decade or more) to try to stay in number 10.
She was pretty embarrassing in the HoC yesterday but then most are at present.
Did she jump or was she pushed (supposedly at the behest of Hunt).
Cruella quits as Home Sec, what a fvcking sh1t show
A decent man, and one who still has Socialist ideas, an outlier in the UK Labour Party in recent years, very different from the Scottish and UK leaders.
That requires Ross to actually turn up and not be at either of his two other jobs (Westminster, because for some reason that dual mandate is allowed; and being a football referee which he won't give up either!)
Another Lib Dem who went Tory as it happens.
He is absolutely livid and 100% correct. I wish Sturgeon would do the same to Ross in the Scottish Parliament but unfortunately Labours man in Scotland sides with the Tories
This is an interesting speech from the Welsh FM to the leader of the Welsh Tories
Practically everything since Brexit seems to involve experts reaffirming the stupidity of the British government stance of calling out the trustworthiness of experts and trying to make them enemies of the people.
Seems the experts are certainly having the last laugh.
And JRM didn't like the IMF having a go at them either, arguing that the IMF “doesn't know what it's talking about”. 😀
What I love about all this is that the financial markets, who the Tories revere, have basically told Tufton St that they are clueless and to STFU.
I hope that's remembered the next time the BBC bring the IEA onto Question Time (or any other programme) for one of their regular appearances.
Didn't Truss previously claim that she hadn't discussed the 45p tax rate decision with the cabinet? JRM was very keen to claim collective responsibility last week but suddenly they have all gone very quiet on why they shouldn't be held accountable for this decision.
Either they all agreed and as Burley says none of them are qualified, or Truss and Kwasi went on a solo run in which case why are they continuing in cabinet after that?
erm...
Nobody asked you for evidence. We know it's pointless at this stage.
To get back on topic despite your desperate attempt to shutdown dissent, it's sadly par for the course that a party which has had enough of experts thinks that someone who approves of smoking in cars with children and treating antibiotics like sweets is a suitable health minister.
Umm, are we arguing the suitability of a government where the health minister is o.k. with giving unprescribed expired antibiotics to acquaintances? It's not what was done - Therese Coffey seems very unqualified for her brief - but that this government thought she was just fine for the job.
What she did isn't being debated; that she did it, and now is in charge of the health service, is the concern.
Only sidetracked by yourselves.
This must be news to people about the very odd occasional sharing of anti biotics .
Asking for evidence of this ? Is this a joke.
Standard volunteer Tory apparatchik stuff. Deflect, shutdown and antagonise.
I've had antibiotics once, years ago. Took them as instructed and binned what was left, if anything. It's good that Ireland has a scheme like this. I'd to pay a fee for mine but if I needed financial assistance, I think there was stuff available.
There's also a national drug payment scheme in Ireland (though I think that only caters for "high tech" or agreed medicines, such as the type my wife needs to have a Quality of Life), which offsets the cost of drugs. GP visits are expensive but without any actual evidence or testimony we're getting sidetracked by another one of that user's segues.
Trot out a generalisation; refuses to provide evidence; plays the Smug One-Liner game when called out. Disappears for a couple of weeks. Rinse, repeat. Pixelburp wonders why he bothers with Ignore Lists when nobody else does ;-)
When you spout nonsense as above, yes.
Yeah yeah. Do we really need the lectures.
