Another crazy week in the pantomime that is U.K. politics which is the big kicker in terms of keeping this blog active really that really kicked off last week when then Home Secretary Suella Braverman let rip in one of the "quality" newspapers basically accusing the police, specifically the Metropolitan Police of being partial in way the police certain protests such as the Stop The Oil and Gaza ones of the last few weeks compared to that of more right of centre ones.
This was always going to be contentious as, rightly, the police are supposed to keep the peace without favour so such an accusation would been as a major slight although I'd say all decisions are made with some reference to what is seen as causing the least issues and that *may* at times lead to questions being asked.
Policing is seldom a simple matter of "The Law is the Law".
This article was submitted to the Office of the Prime Minister where some alterations were outlined but seemingly Ms Braverman elected to ignore which I'd say was very ill advised that so she went from wreath laying at Sunday's remembrance parade in Whitehall to being sacked on Monday.
That meant only one thing: a Cabinet reshuffle with the original purpose to replacement the Home Secretary but as ever the re-arranging of the deck chairs brings a resignation here, a plot there and then there was something few saw coming...
Deja vu?
Cue unrest on the Conservative right....
Meanwhile The War on Israel by Hamas and subsequent actions in Gaza causes resignations and splits across the Labour opposition both in parliament after Wednesdays amendment vote on the King's Speech and in councils
Just what with domestic issues such as the economy, reduced living standards, terrorism and internationally conflicts and the asylum seeker crisis we don't need for government and opposition as we the people need politicians who are focused on tackling these pressing matters not fighting each other.
Ever felt like staying in bed for a year?
