Honestly I’m surprised it’s still so uncertain at this point. I can’t see how Braverman can stay in post after this. But prediction markets still have her at only around 65% chance of leaving this year. Which is wild to me!

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a series of posts she condemned the “sick, inflammatory and, in some cases, clearly criminal chants, placards and paraphernalia openly on display” at Saturday’s pro-Palestinian protests, while making no mention of the far-right nutters who turned up to “defend” the Cenotaph.
Talking of which: In his response to the trail of the PM’s speech, Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemned Israel’s four-hour breaks in its military action in Gaza, saying these are insufficient in length to alleviate the humanitarian crisis there.
Understandably, he has conversations with people in the region and other places in order to see what can be done, but he was not given or offered the role.” The FT’s George Parker spoke to a member of Blair’s team who said he would consider a role only “if it was a genuine chance to change course on the humanitarian side.”
LESS FOR MORE: With Hunt pushing for 0.5 percent efficiencies across the public sector, the NHS has commissioned a review by management consultancy McKinsey to seek to discover why hospitals are treating fewer patients than before the pandemic, despite having higher budgets and more staff.
PUMP UP THE JAM: Petrol retailers will be forced to hand over details of their prices to the regulator or face massive fines, under proposals to be added as an amendment to the Digital Markets Bill, which come before parliament later today.
HOUSE OF LORDS: Sits from 2.30 p.m. with oral questions on sponsorship for foreign health and care workers and regulating commercial near-Earth satellites … and then the main business is a debate on the King’s Speech related to the economy, transport, energy and the environment (led by DESNZ Minister Martin Callanan and Parliamentary Secretary for the Treasury Joanna Penn).
