If Suella Braverman explodes it won’t be because of her deeply offensive and inflammatory words about migrants. It won’t be because the government is going to have to have a more realistic policy on filling staff shortages which is crippling growth and closing small businesses...
If any sentient being, which obviously excludes a large proportion of the Conservative party, parrots the view that Boris is the answer, then the question must have been formulated in a padded room swirling with hallucinogenic substances with its authors frothing at the mouth ...
I have been particularly militant over the years about how the Ministry of Justice has let the Criminal Justice System fall apart by wilful neglect and how they have treated the criminal bar with utter contempt. It is not at all surprising that our fees have fallen by at least...

Well, I suppose it’s not all over for Sunak until Therese Coffey sings. Oh, don’t laugh too heartily, dear old Therese has serious form for her Karaoke appearances. The trouble is that despite being clearly the most competent candidate and best suited to be prime minister Rish...
