You mean like Bravermans mate working as an unofficial advisor at the Home Office? Ya know, profiteering from the insider knowledge he’s been getting access to but shouldn’t have…
Exactly.

I reckon this delayed budget has the potential to really engulf the government and restart the infighting, especially if the pension triple lock is cut. That'll absolutely enrage the tory core support base.
Good point. I suspect there's enough arrogance in Sunak's mob that they think they can get away with it too.

If they do away with the triple lock it would be like pulling the cork out of a boat riddle with woodworm. The boat would sink and take the tories with it.

Yvette Cooper comes across so well in that clip. She is lucid, intelligent and forthright, unlike anyone we have seen from the Tories lately.
The stick insect Braverman is a disgusting human being who is there to keep up a culture war and distract from the coming austerity. She will do and say things that get reported in the press and give the cretins something to gnash their teeth about. Immigration will be back to the fore.
Braverman is one of the scariest politicians I've known I've ever known to get one of the big cabinet posts. Closest we have ever had to a nazi in power. Today the UN has said we are staring at failure to limit warming to 1.5 degrees whilst Shell declares £8 billion profits for the quarter, and the Lancet publishes a paper showing that the health impact of climate change is already hitting. As well as a foreigner and gay hater we have climate change flat earther at Home Sec.

Didn't they already abandon the triple lock last year?

Yes. I told Vickers who replied. His answer was that It wouldn't be fair to the rest of the population to have such an increase for pensioners. Sunak then raised the minimum wage by a higher % than the pensioners got, which to them was fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who apparently now needs ‘training’ from MI5 on e-mail security and what is appropriate to share in terms of information security. FFS, the Home Secretary?!?! Any civil servant or admin worker in a local council knows what’s right and wrong on this. You f*ck up? You are out! The highest post in the land in terms of national security and she apparently doesn’t know what she’s doing, or rather, like the rest of these Tory cnuts, she just doesn’t bother to follow the rules. It’s utterly appalling that this babbling racist and security liability has a cabinet post, and was restored to her position after a grave breach of the ministerial code and a compromise of the safety and integrity of the nation. I do despise Braverman. I think she’s an arrogant, bigoted, hateful person. Sunak talked about wanting integrity, professionalism and accountability, and trashed his own principles just to get her and the far right on side within 1 hour!! As everyday passes, the Conservatives deliver blow after blow after blow to our stability, security, economy, international status, and, what’s worse, they go on with this daily/weekly psychodrama whilst hard working, honest British people suffer unspeakable pressure and anxiety. There’s no governing. There’s no plan. Just a pathetic limping from crisis to crisis, and the saving of individual skin and reaction to the latest appalling transgression. The worst collection of people we’ve had representing and governing this nation by a trillion miles.

The Braverman worries me and to be honest, I’m aware I sound like a stuck record but the the moment Sunak reappointed her ensured he lost whatever the small amount of credibility he had left…

Perhaps in 44 days of chaos the only thing Truss got right was sacking the dangerously inept Braverman. It’s a little ironic that Sunak’s “new” cabinet of integrity has this odious woman back as Home Secretary despite worries from MI5. She is currently in hiding, hoping to shamelessly ride it out while other ministers are sent out to destroy what is left of their own reputations in trying to defend her.
