If Suella is fired her supporters ought to launch a leadership bid.
Love it. A proper homage to deckchairs and the titanic.
Braverman supporters are the sort who regard lifeboats as a lifestyle choice.
More than anything it's a crap leadership bid, even with the insanity that is the current Tory party.
Look how quick Patel sank in the ConHome approval ratings doing half this sort of stuff. Why should Braverman fare any better? To my eyes, a lifeboat is a lifestyle choice for the Suellites themselves.
And yet, there is a king over the water....
If he does the jungle, he may quite literally be the King over the water.
"What an argument against PR the Israel Knesset is."
This common analysis confuses cause and effect. The problem is not PR: Israel is a very diverse country. FPTP would still produce the same chaotic Knesset because the people in liberal Tel Aviv, the settlers in the West Bank, the ultra-Orthodox community, the recent Russian immigrants and the Israeli Arabs have very different views.
Tax on savers should raise an extra £3bn+ this year compared to last, with an extra 700,000 people owing tax on savings.
Any rational government would spend a few million employing extra HMRC staff to deal with this and run an advertising campaign to make sure people know what they need to do. It will more than pay for itself in better compliance.
Instead we go for temporary closing the HMRC phonelines to dampen demand.

Absolute nutters.
The banks automatically send the information to HMRC around August/September. Some people will find themselves with a surprising tax bill as a result.
If people are in self assessment the main thing is making sure the system picks up on them putting the wrong information into their returns.
Looking at the YouGov date, England breaks 48-24-10 so that's an 18.5% swing from Conservative to Labour.
The 2019 Conservative vote splits 38% Conservative, 23% Don't Know, 11% Labour and 11% Reform - as I've remarked before, those are outlier numbers compared to other pollsters.
21% of women and 13% of men are Don't Knows - the age group with the largest numbers (25-44) has the biggest Labour lead.

What a miserable bunch we are:
