Can The Home Secretary Continue?
https:/
She appears to be unsackable. Some wonder if it's either because the PM would rather have her inside the tent watering the garden than in the garden watering the tent. And if she is given the boot at long last it might lose the Tories votes to the Reform Party, which might very well spell the coup de grace electorally.
Or?

Undermining the police is not a very Tory thing to do, and she is plainly upsetting a lot of good Conservatives. She has the power herself to deport a lot of these rabble rousers as far as I am aware. But what has she actually done?
Now it seems her attack on the police was not approved by the PM. If true it makes him look weak.
Yes great headlines for some but ultimately does no good. I cannot think of a single benefit to anyone in this instance of mouthing off about the police in public.
What are her actual achievements as Home Secretary? She is remembered for what she says rather than does and I would have thought apart from anything else that would also annoy the constituency most likely to be cheering her on.
The police plainly messed up over the early pro-Palestine demos: they should not have let people get away with some of the things they were shouting, but I undertand why they did not act. I suspect they had not been given any direction at the time, and I'd be loath to criticise them the first time. No excuses later.
The comments about the "right wing" demonstrators is uncalled for and rather telling. It may be true actually, but I suspect it's not because the police aren't as right wing as she is :-)
Sunak is a weak PM and his authority in the party has always been feeble
Cruella Braverman is not interested in being home secretary... she's interested in being the next party leader. she has used her position to campaign for that rather than to run the country. i notice with interest that priti patel has been very critical of her... largely i suspect because priti patel will be entering the ring as nigel farage's puppet and sees braverman as a threat.
as always it is party before country when it comes to the tories.
There nis a big problem with the Met, *** reign dragged it right down. It's not just the demo thing its rotton to the core and yes it is infested with metropolitan liberal elite.
Other Forces not so much but they are not the recipeints here.
What Suella has said is true, you may not like it but it is and lets face it she does not have to please all you lefties you would never vote Tory no matter what she said.
If you have ever heard her not in a political way she is an very strong woman and probably one of a few true Tories (Along with my fave Kemi). The other Tinos can go ** themselves as far as I am concerned, they need to go anyway so the Party can become Conservative and not New Labour II which iit is at present.
Thanks ymb.
However don't forget that many naturally Tory voters won't agree with her at all. I grew up in a Unionist NI environment and no one I knew who was a Unionist had any time for the rhetoric of the Rev Ian Paisly for example (many others did of course). I do happen to think she is probably unsackable for the reasons I gave above though.
"Probably hoping to be sacked so she can attack from the back benches."
That's why I don't think Sunak dare sack her. I suspect the is hoping the Tories lose the election after which she can make her bid: as Leader of the Opposition she would be able to continue ranting while not actually doing anything, just as now :-)
