Well I was thinking high profile. The ball will bounce back into the limelight on her now. However she is much more brazen and is very unlikely to resign that easily.

What's the point? I thought this country was short of a bob or two and needed to save money.

Braverman to sign France deal

The Home Secretary is to travel to Paris to sign an updated deal to try to stop people crossing the English Channel in small boats. Under the expanded agreement, the number of officers patrolling the French coast to try to stop people setting off will rise from 200 to 300 and the amount the UK pays France to cover the cost of increased patrols at their end will go up from about £55m a year to £63m. It will also encourage France to “increase the number of migrants who are prevented from leaving”, said the Financial Times.

It will not work and is just a waste of money. It would be better spent on either speeding up processing, or creating safe corridors and allowing people to claim in the country of origin. Identifying those who have no basis for claim and repatriating them PDQ. It is worth noting that this is the fourth agreement that has been made in three years.

NHS is ‘on the brink’

Jeremy Hunt has admitted that the NHS is on the brink of collapse. The chancellor was told by Sky News presenter Sophy Ridge that “frankly this doesn't look like a health service that can find efficiency savings - this looks like a health service that is on the brink of collapse”. Hunt, a former health secretary, said: “There are massive pressures in the NHS. Obviously it’s something I know very well from previous jobs I’ve done, and I think that doctors, nurses on the frontline are frankly under unbearable pressure, so I do recognise the picture you say.”

Disgraceful statement from someone who held the office of Heath Secretary for almost 6 years

‘Last chance to save NHS’

The union Unite tells the Daily Mirror that the NHS could collapse without an immediate injection of more cash. The paper splashes on the claims that Jeremy Hunt’s Autumn Statement this week is the “last chance to save” the service. The UK’s leading A&E doctor tells the Daily Mail that hospitals are “lobster traps” for older people and laments that they are “easy to get in to but hard to get out of”.

Another example of the total mismanagement presided over by this sham tory government

Retired judges to tackle backlog

Judges are being brought out of retirement to slash court backlogs that are “forcing victims to wait up to two years for justice”, said The Telegraph. The Lord Chief Justice has authorised 65 retired judges to preside over cases, half of whom are in their 70s, in an effort to shrink the backlog of 63,000 cases. Kirsty Brimelow KC, the chairman of the Criminal Bar Association, said the criminal justice system “remains in crisis”.
