“Doctor Shipman has expressed remorse and we should therefore stop talking about all the people he dissolved and just let him get back to doctoring like the people would want.”
Edit: because people are saying that this is a flippant comparison (which it is) and for the sake of balance, I should also point out that she asked if the fine could be claimed on expenses.
She has showed contempt for the rules. She has put the civil service in an awkward position, has tried to avoid the public knowing about the speeding file, and has tried to get the taxpayer to pay for what she did. This is not the way that an elected official – let alone the Home Secretary – is supposed to behave.
Day 1. Defends.
Day3. Has complete confidence in.
Day 5. Resigns.
And the Streisand effect once more turns a minor issue into another full on questioning of her ethics and values – brilliant work once more by a politician supposedly still vying for number 10…
Sunak is in such a weak position that he can’t get rid of Cruella Braverman. He is hoping the ridiculous wing of Nat-C types won’t turn against him. A vain hope.
He can’t afford to sack her, given she’s the de-facto leader of (one of several) far right wings in his barely coherent party.
They are going to tear each other to shreds in opposition.
Tory in corruption shocker.
At this point in proceedings I think it would be a bigger shocker if such ministers wasn’t trying to take advantage of the civil service considering their actions are going to be subject to the law in the coming years.
I would have thought she would have gone down the “it wasn’t me driving guv” road. Or , claim to be a victim of racial profiling. Actually , that would be spectacularly ironic.
The Corruption party!
Its a totally Undefeatable and blatant abuse of power, so they say she “regrets it”. As usual nothing will happen. Such contempt they hold for the little people now.
Questions for Sunak:
how many strikes before she’s out? Are you so weak you cannot fire someone so blatantly unfit for office?
“mumble mumble Stop the Boats”
– any Number 10 statement
I love this. In Japan right now, and obviously the brunt of news coverage is focused on the G7 summit itself and its wider implications, but there was a footnote that Sunak is ‘having to deal with a lot of domestic issues and pressure’. I first came here in 2012 when British soft power was riding high, and over the last decade these fuckers have shorted it worse than the Pound.
Do none of our public figures have an ounce of back-bone, integrity or decency in them?
And they wonder why people despise all politicians of all parties. But, frankly, the Tories just take the f*cking biscuit. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
What’s that? *ANOTHER* bout of consequence-free incompetence? *MORE* corruption from the Tories? Abuse of power? Yeah, that’s exactly what we all know them for – corrupt selfish bastards who hold the lot of us in contempt.
Why THE FUCK does England KEEP voting Tory????
Can anyone tell me, seriously, why our Indian-descent politicians are incredibly homophobic and closest racists? aka patel, braverman etc. I mean seriously, did we do something to them or what? Really curious.
So much for a government of integrity. The spineless prick
I guess it’s one of the expected issues, when you have to appoint a fascist, 3rd rate conveyancer to keep the crackpot wing of your party happy.
What did Sunak say about leading a government with integrity and accountability again?
Just like the American GOP, not one backbone or scruple or moral compass to be found.
She’s only sorry she got caught and then someone leaked that she was asking staff how to avoid it
It’s important to acknowledge that she took responsibility… eventually. After exhausting every possible route to avoid it.
Every statement I’ve heard from anyone associated with the party has been along the lines of “She’s sorry for speeding, and has paid the fine”.
They really are trying to avoid addressing the actual issue of trying to use political power to influence the process around the speed awareness course **she opted for**.
Which I think is quite telling, they’re not even really trying to deny that it happened, they just keep trying to focus on the fact (when she didn’t get her way), she paid the fine instead, so it’s all settled now
>This government will have integrity, professionalism, and accountability at every level.
Rishi Sunak, during his first address as Prime Minister.
This is why you can’t trust a Tory to be socially open-minded, merely economically conservative, centre-right and somewhat of a “classical liberal” – They will still be forced to make deals and compromises with the most nasty and vile right wingers British politics has seen in over a generation
Tory corruption scandals are as prevalent in our news as shootings are in the US. Maybe we should just combine the two and put the lot of them to the firing squad
I don’t hate Sunak’s response yet.
>However, he added: “I understand she has expressed regret for speeding, accepted the penalty and paid the fine.”
As he has pointed out, she has properly dealt with the speeding offence. Great. Now onto the corruption, which is a huge issue and I believe should be dealt with in an *extremely* serious manner. Ask anyone who has lived in countries with serious corruption. It always goes through the whole system, top to bottom. If he doesn’t fire her, it suggests that her trying to get out of this with contacts is not a big deal.
If senior politicians can pull strings to get out of speeding tickets, obviously exceptional junior ones can too. And of course, senior police officers. OK, so now politicians and police are exempt. Oh, and Local Government will have contacts, too. Pretty rapidly, speeding tickets are a penalty for *not having connections*.
Fuck. That.
Maybe it’s just me but I would expect a lawyer who’s the Home Secretary to observe the law when it comes to driving.
If you can’t hold yourself to standards of public decency, don’t get involved in public office.

What the fuck does Cruella have on Bojo and Sunak to continue having a top job in government?
