Is Braverman trying to get sacked?

She definitely seems to be positioning herself with the party faithful for after the next election. Not sure how many support this kind of culture wars politics. I've read that in America Trump's base is mainly with the GOP right wing and the rest he gains because of general distrust of the left - reckon that's the case here too, probably the same here, main thing in my opinion is the centre and left don't rise to the bait.
 
Let Rishi carry the can for the caning they'll get (hopefully), her seat is utterly safe (as far as these things go), emerge as the leader of denuded Tory party which becomes increasingly reliant on right wing tropes.

Maybe Farage can stop her, because they seem to love him as well.

Probably the most depressing thing I've ever written on here.
 
Am I the only one that despite my absolute hatred for the Tories, Cruella is genuinely the most terrifying politician I have seen in an incredibly long time. If she ever became Tory leader and PM of this country, I would genuinely be frightened for society at what this country could become…. even Patel didn’t strike me with this much fear and that is genuinely saying something 😡
 
It’s difficult to know which thread to place this comment on.

There has been no mention as far as I know from any quarter that for many years the far right has marched on the cenotaph hours after the official proceedings. This has included the BNP, NF, column 88, EDL and other nazi hate groups. They do so under the cover of patriotism but in reality are commemorating the loss of hitlers armed forces primarily.

This March has been officially allowed from time.

If there was ever a hate March…..

Edit* I am unsure whether this March continues at present

* did my research and it continues

Looks like she has deliberately made her position untenable and will likely be sacked and have a slot on GBeebies before the month is out.
 
Sunak knows that she's backed by the big money in his party. She is at the very heart of the RW cabal Johnson was left with after his coup, when all reasonable Tories walked away. Sunak is more akin to Major, albeit in these extreme days not as moderate. But compared to her he is. But he's also weak and is desperately trying to hold onto the reins of the mad, runaway horse that is the Conservative Party these days. It can't and won't last. He'll either sack her, in which case they'll descend into utter civil war or hang on and she'll take over after the next election. Either way, at the next election they'll run the nastiest campaign in living memory.
 
What is this? The Tory party ripping itself apart? That hasn't happened for quite a few days.

The good people of Buckinghamshire wont mind this really. Ban the boats and ban the tents and ban the wokes etc.
 
The moment Sunak re-appointed Braverman as Home Secretary he became a dead man walking PM, she has no record of delivery as a Minister and the slack she's repeatedly cut totally bemuses me, she epitomises the worst of politics and any notion she could one day be PM terrifies me, although I'm fairly certain that she's too extreme for too many to be electable as Prime Minister, she's unpopular within her own party with a history of failure as a Minister, for all her hate speech and vitriol immigration has increased under her watch and shows no sign of abating, whilst that doesn't bother me its something that needs highlighting to those who somehow believe she's doing a good job.

I think you are being quite negative there. I'm sure lots of posters on this forum will be able to list her good characteristics for us.

She is a shy Tory's wet dream.

her hate speech is totally focused on getting the Tory leadership vote next time around.
 
No 10 briefing against her now re: her comments to the media. A savvy move which effectively lets everyone know the PM knows her game.

That said, she'll probably resign and challenge Sunak anyway.

It really would be the worst of both worlds if we end up with a RW labour party who have been pushed there by the Tories and an extreme RW government.

Oh I hope so.
She's even more unelectable than Sunak.
A complete car crash of Truss proportions!
 
I'd honestly forgotten about this. So much **** has happened since. You couldn't make this stuff up. From BBC news:

"Some loyal to Mr Sunak are pointing to the Ministerial Code, and pondering that the home secretary may have broken it.

Convention says that is a sackable offence. But then again Rishi Sunak appointed her as home secretary about a week after she'd lost the job for breaking the Ministerial Code."

🤦‍♂️😂

BRAVERMAN is the most dangerous politician in Britain today. There are other contenders, and not all on the Tory benches, but every pronouncement from the Home Secretary ensures her pole position.

Her latest article in the Times sets out her stall quite clearly with its attack on the right to protest. She has been agitating all week for Saturday’s demonstration for a ceasefire in Gaza to be banned and is frustrated that she will have been thwarted — above all by the resilience of the organisers in their determination not to have their rights obstructed.

This latest sally follows blatantly racist interventions against refugees, an endeavour to ban charities from giving tents to homeless people since the latter are merely indulging a “lifestyle choice,” and calling anti-war and pro-Palestine protests “hate marches.”

Some see in all this merely a right-wing politician posturing for the next Tory leadership. Doubtless, there is a large element of that. Braverman can read the polls as well as anyone and can assume that Rishi Sunak’s job will be up for grabs before long.

She will then be competing for the votes of a Tory membership that usually supports the most right-wing candidate available, as the country learned most recently when they gave the keys to Downing Street to the slightly demented Liz Truss.

But there is much more to Braverman than mere politicking. Her Times article is a call to arms for a far-right coalition against democracy. It is a colour-by-numbers guide to how such a force could be assembled.

Football Lads Alliance? Tick. Covid sceptics? Tick. Retired and dissident serving police officers? Tick. Hostile to Black Lives Matter? Tick. Islamophobe? Tick.

It is a cacophony of dog whistles, enough to assemble a ravening pack.
In her rhetoric, the Home Secretary comes close to inciting violence, and clearly, she will not be displeased if there is such violence at the weekend.

For her, it is about driving progressive opinion off the streets. As a start, she wants to subordinate the police to her own close control.
It is therefore not hyperbole to see in Braverman’s words and actions the first steps towards a far-right regime, the initial explorations towards establishing authoritarian rule through mobilising and cohering a mass base for such a development.

Such a move would no more than parallel similar trends elsewhere, as bourgeois democracy becomes unhinged after a generation of war and slump. Britain has no magic inoculation against a regime of the populist-authoritarian type.

And if anything akin to fascism were ever to advance in Britain it would not be the work of noxious organisations like the British National Party or the English Defence League, whose poisonous antics play no more than an ancillary role.

It would be the work of powerful forces entrenched in the Tory Party, people like the Home Secretary. Will Labour’s front bench stand firm? So far it has focused solely on championing the operational independence of the police as if that was the answer to the authoritarian menace.

The police are an arm of the state committed to upholding the social order. Their independence is a polite fiction which will not be entertained by anyone with memories of mass industrial disputes.

It is that arm of the state most closely entwined with wider society, and its freedom from day-to-day direction by politicians is the freedom to navigate unimpeded the challenges that role throws up, including policing protest.

The main demand must be for Braverman to be sacked immediately — not in the name of proper policing, but in the name of democracy.
