The odd thing about the whole situation is that even today people will not admit the system is broken."We just need to change this one part from blue to red and all will be fine!"Probably best to get a few years worth of popcorn I would suggest!

I honestly don't know how much more popcorn I can eat!

This is all a ploy - so that no one stays in a job long enough to change the wallpaper!

Ed Robinson ● 1202d

Do you think this is the last straw?

Ivonne Holliday ● 1202d

It is all so incredibly embarrassing!

Charles Walker, Conservative MP, is appalled by it. Sensible chap isn't standing at the next election ...

I am still in shock!!  Yes, supposedly the chief whip and deputy have resigned and Rees Mogg was shouting at MPs????Banana republic suddenly?Or, should I dare not say, following a Russian example?Horrifying and unacceptable.Many seem to have lost the plot completely, including someone who mirrowed herself as the new Maggie Thatcher. Pffff!

Accusations of bullying, chief whip and deputy whip supposedly resigned or sacked?!

Michael Ixer ● 1202d

More chaos over the fracking vote?Unforgivable!

Part of her resignation letter states:"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."Trying to be very honest?

Perhaps, but I'm not sure Conservative MPs will want her, didn't they really want Sunak? I'd agree it could have been deliberate, particularly as there's a suggestion she also emailed it to someone not authorised to receive it. It's possible she deliberately emailed it from a personal email address then realised monitoring would pick it up (or the receiver pointed it out) and she decided to own up to it. Seems a mistake someone in that position shouldn't make? Pure speculation as we can't do a forensic analysis into it :-)Still, it must shows what a shambles this government is in …

Grant Shapps replaces Cruella as Home Secretary. An appropriate photograph on the BBC website? 

Ivonne Holliday ● 1202d

Hoping to become the next PM?

Ivonne Holliday ● 1202d

Braverman realises her mistake and reports herself and then uses her resignation letter to have a serious pop at the government - the cynic in me feels that her "mistake" was deliberate, a case of a rat leaving the sinking ship

Well, Matt, at least she didn't mention strawberries :-) Does it mean the Cabinet Officer cyber security team have got their data loss prevention tool properly configured …

I had to look up the tofu-eating wokerati as I had not heard about it till I saw your message Matt."“It’s the coalition of chaos. It’s the Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati, dare I say, the anti-growth coalition that we have to thank for the disruption that we are seeing on our roads today,” the home secretary said."It seems to go from the ridiculous to the sublime!I am not sorry to see her go but agree with Michael I, Grant Schapps!

Ivonne Holliday ● 1202d

I do wish it would all calm down, one day i'm an eco-fanatic, next part of an eco-death cult, then the anti-growth coalition and just this morning a tofu-eating wokerati!I can't keep up with it all.

Matt Palmer ● 1202d

Teach her to say stupid things like “Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati” ... lots of Chinese who probably don't support JSO eat bean curd!But Grant Schapps as Home Secretary … if it's true?
