O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

Another one bites the dust! I wonder who Suella Braverman had in mind when she wrote this:

Pretending we haven't made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can't see that we have made them, and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics. I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility; I resign.

Truss is a real piece of work, isn't she?
Replacing Kwarteng & Braverman with Hunt and Schapps is part of a crude attempt to save her own skin.
She thought she could govern from the right. It was a disaster. Now she's running for cover.
It's great to see another fruit bat depart today, but hopefully all wings of that accursed party will hate Truss equally and she'll be booted out before the month's out.

The thot plickens. Will it get any plicker?



Suella Braverman's resignation letter is a grenade that's been thrown into the mix.

The letter makes abundantly clear that the now former home secretary is furious with the government, and furious at Liz Truss.

There's a heavy hint in there that the prime minister should be taking responsibility for the mistakes she's made. It was only yesterday Truss was telling the European Research Group of Brexiteer MPs that she had made a mistake. It sounds to me like the former home secretary is suggesting the prime minister should resign.

Braverman has some allies in the party who might not be happy about this, and the PM clearly thought this was an important issue because she cancelled a high-profile visit this afternoon, where she was supposed to be doing some more media to explain her relaunch.
