She's been sacked now. Sadly I fear this isn't even her final form.

The Tories obviously won't be in power in 2025. The danger here is that Starmer will look at that proposal and think "Hmm, now there's an idea that will probably sit well with the pro-Brexit, Daily Mail-reading, 60-something couple in Berkshire who in my head make up 97% of all British voters..."Welfare cuts worth billions planned by ministers

Hopefully, but I won't be confident of that until they're actually out.

Andrea Jenkyns referring to Starmer's "socialist cabal" was another recent highlight. These people are deranged.

Another leaf out of the MAGA playbook, of course - blasting Biden as a "communist", etc.
I mean it's not entirely new, they were calling Miliband "Red Ed" when he was leading Labour - although arguably he virtually was a socialist compared to Starmer...

Apparently he was always trying to get people to play tennis with him, but everyone was busy.

Yeah it's terrible that they are just staying in power, afraid of an election, flailing around doing all kinds of weird stuff with no real mandate. Obviously they changed leader and Labour were up in arms, which is a bit rich considering they've done it themselves - but now they've changed leader about eighteen times it's a fucking joke, the party that is in power and what they are doing bears no resemblance to that which was voted in, but of course they daren't go back to the country and have an actual election.
But I'm with you, there is many a slip twixt cup and lip or whatever the saying is... or more simply, don't count your chickens, I've no faith in the electorate to not somehow fuck it up, I really don't. And to be honest, I won't be really be satisfied unless they get the absolute fucking shoeing they deserve, beaten into a distant sixth behind the Monster Raving Loony Party etc

Also true if you miss out the word letter - oh alright and the 's after Suella.

Thing is Cameron returning to politics cos he's bored shitless means he probably still has nobler and purer intentions than Johnson or virtually any of the tories currently clustering around power like flies around shit.
In the space of two mins across two consecutive answers in PMQs this week Sunak expressed his readiness to defy international law in order to shovel through the Rwanda deal, and then his stern insistence that Israel adhere to international law.
I binged that Shakespeare Rise of a Genius doc on BBC iPlayer last night. It's hard to escape the sense that fuck all has changed since 1593.

The Rwanda ruling doesn't preclude the UK using some other country in the same way.

But if they wanted to do that then they would have to get an agreement from that country that we can dump all our unwanted refugees on them. And then when that happened they would surely be taken to court again and although the ruling above doesn't preclude it they would almost certainly be able to get a new ruling that does.
Though I've been reading that before she graciously stepped down Suella had suggested a back-up plan, if the Rwanda thing really didn't work she was gonna put the refugees in either The Crimea or the Gaza Strip, apparently both are super safe, welcoming to refugees and lovely at this time of year.
