she wouldn't be within a mile of government it she wasn't loyal to Johnson and Cummings. She'll go when he goes.
Sunak's rise up the ranks has been extraordinary. He has been chief secretary to the Treasury since last summer, but technically he was not even a member of the cabinet; he was just a minister with the right to attend. Being chancellor is his first full cabinet job

So what dirt does Cummings have on Boris and co.
Patel is such an evil bootlicker and going by her past, you can trust an evil bootlicker to do evil shady things regardless so she keeps her job.
Brexit and this Government are going to be an unaccountable shit show.
The budget is going to be the biggest lie in the world I bet. Corruption to the max now, this is their play to reap the benefits from hard Brexit for themselves.

and straight into the cabinet. lovely.
I doubt its about dirt - he just does all the thinking and work for boris.
Still weird, who the fuck is he. He pissed about Russia a bit then came back, pushed Brexit now leading the government agenda. It's fucked up, at best they are just fleecing the hell out of the UK and Brexit for their own gain or worse, it's dodgy as fuck while also doing that.
Clearly the fall guy. Why go to such lengths when they can just blame labour for Brexit tanking the economy in 10 years time.
He's just going to do as he's told anyway, but i'm sure he can still invent a few ways to make his friends richer while he's there.
Combining the three great offices of state in one, what could possibly go wrong?
...jesus, could you be any more blatant?
...oh wait, yeah, you could
Good news for other countries who want to better their trade terms against the UK.
Can't get enough of those "NEW PORK MARKETS"
Edit: Beaten like our negotiating position.
I imagine it's mildly damaging at best. Enough to not want it circulating whilst planning an election, but not bad enough to be worth leaking.
Dominic Grieves was chair of the committee and is now outside of Parliament, if it was truly alarming I'd have expected it to leak by now.
In other news, it's clear from the reshuffle that it isn't nicey wicey Liberal Boris, so hopefully all the commentary articles can drop the narrative that he'll magically appear anyday now.

Even if it was damaging, the truth is, it doesn't fucking matter.
Look at Trump, he's just got been through impeachment proceedings and the next thing he does his basically order his supposedly independent courts to give his mate leniency. No one cares. Nothing will be done and he will likely win another term.
That is the the great lie that Trump uncovered (not intentionally, he's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy), the voting masses either don't understand and/or don't care about your actions, as long as they perceive it to be to their advantage.
As long Boris is surrounded by people as equally willing to give up their scruples, they can get away with anything as long as most voters think they are OK.
The only way they get dumped out of office is if Brexit goes seriously wrong, proper bare shelves, no fuel, worst case scenario.
the treasury being decapitated feels like the dismantling of the last part of gordon brown's legacy.
cameron and osborne continued the blair-brown double pivot model with a lot more personal harmony
may inexplicably continued it while missing the point by hiring a chancellor with different views on brexit and state spending
boris doesn't really have natural allies or a clear project so it makes sense to centralise things around an imperial leadership

You're looking at this all wrong. This is a fantastic example of bootstraps conservatism, especially for the BAME community. If you can dream it, you can be anything, including one of the highest states of office in the land.
It's inspiring stuff for anyone out there who happens to have a billionaire father-in-law wondering what opportunities they could make for themselves in life.
Looks like James Cleverly is out as Tory chairman. Basically anyone from May's era that stuck around to be a bootlicker is done.
I'm starting to think so.
"Amazing. No 10 refuses about 20+ times to say any more about Johnson's villa stay, beyond "all relevant transparency regulations have been met". We still don't know who owns the villa and who paid for the stay."
Something is seriously fishy, you can't forget in a month who paid for a £15,000 holiday.
Gonna wager it's Evgeny Lebedev (owner of the Standard, whose editor is still George Osborne)
What, never had someone pay most of a poor person's salary for you on a random treat?
According to the BBC, this is a good thing because Bojo will be able to spend as much as he wants now, investing in the countries future and don't you know that the pound has gone up thanks to this genius move?
Spending is great when it's the Tories spending but out of control communism when Labour proposes the very same.

Straight from the party line. It's being played off as 'Why did no-one ever think of this before? It's so much easier this way!' and 'Only Johnson could crack the code to having a yes man as Chancellor!'
Robert Walpole would be so fucking proud
I can't remember who said it, but I've read a description of the Conservative Party as being an authoritarian dictatorship regulated by the occasional regicide. As in, the PM/party leader has absolute power until the underlings smell blood, and at that point it's over.
Creating an "awkward squad" at this stage when Johnson has so much political capital seems a bit short-sighted.
Screw Cleverly.
Shit person, shit intellect, shit interviews, hes just shit.
It's so bitter sweet seeing the Governing process being taken over in this concerning way, whule also getting to watch buttholes like Leadsom and Cleverly and Cox thrown out on their asses.

Whether it's true or not, busy day, training or whatever. Got to enjoy the little things as Brexit reality smacks idiots in the face.

Trying to search for this but I'm failing...
I seem to recall that one of the issues surrounding the current deportation debate in the UK was that some of the people deported hadn't met the criteria. Something like it required a conviction of x amount of years and they hadn't met that threshold, but were still deported?
Can anyone educate me on this please? Or am I remembering it incorrectly? A link to an article or something would do. Thanks!

Colin isn't wrong about this not being what he voted for. He voted for the made up fairy tails he was promised where there were no downsides.
Granted, that is on him.
I mean, there's a reason that 'queues at the airport on City breaks' wasn't put high on the public agenda of Remainers (whilst it may have been pretty high on the private agenda).
I feel both before and after Brexit it is a pretty meaningless thing to make an issue out of.
Letter shows ‘appalling’ DWP misled two watchdogs over benefit deaths
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has been failing to track recommendations made by its own secret reviews into benefit-related deaths, it has told the spending watchdog, three years after…
