Their parents (probably) won’t care if the kids are isolated, so only the kids are being punished for something that they have no accountability or responsibility for - that isn’t equitable.

That's a fair point, doesn't resolve the arrears though.

If true, yet another example of how this lot think they're entitled and only care about themselves. Maybe she should never have got her job back.

She is a very good Home Secretary because she is trying to deliver the right policies.

"right" being the appropriate adjective…

(rather than correct)

Surely, you mean "Trying to deliver the right wing policies"? After all, that is the only hope they have left ...

I think you're being rather shallow here, Ian. She is trying to deal with the boat migrants (they must be stopped or deported except in genuine cases of need), and the nasty protestors who try to disrupt peoples' daily lives (I think the latest legislation goes a long way toward this.

She is seriously anti-woke and that s a good thing. She calls it as it is in relation to the current (ridiculous) gender debate.

Seems like you might be correct Ian, is this really all they've got left, the poxy culture war, still at least it's better than a real war

Well, it's good we don't have a real war here, but they do drag out Zelensky for photo ops when it suits.

Whether we like or dislike her policies is irrelevant to the central question: Did she breach Ministerial Code by asking civil servants to arrange a private one-to-one driving awareness course?

And failing. Immigration has doubled from pre Brexit levels. Maybe the eurocrats were better than ours. She's taken back control big style.

Popcorn at the ready, Suella Braverman's bad week could be followed by a very tough one indeed

If Suella Braverman thought her week had thrown up its fair share of challenging newspaper headlines, it could quickly get even worse - with her opponents in Westminster just days away from an opportunity to grill her in the Commons....

...In between, Ms Braverman saw her personal approval rating plunge in a YouGov poll - and critics cruelly pointed out her right-wing populism wasn't, in fact, very popular.

At the same time, the home secretary clashed with cabinet colleagues on migration policy and is also facing a likely onslaught from Tory right-wingers over new figures in a few days showing a sharp rise in immigration.

Now, on top of the confrontations she faces with opponents and some colleagues on policy issues, the embattled Braverman could soon be facing an inquiry into her conduct as a minister which could lead to her being sacked...

...She'll no doubt hope her belated mea culpa may draw a line under the row and perhaps take the sting out of calls for a full-blown probe by Sir Laurie, the ethics watchdog. Fat chance, as they say, of that.

As luck would have it - for her opponents, that is - the first business when the Commons sits again on Monday is… questions to the home secretary, Suella Braverman.

Popcorn at the ready.

Amazes me that those who are not keen on immigration from Middle Eastern countries voted in 2016 not to send them back to the first EU country they landed in.

If this is another price worth paying for Brexit then they should acknowledge they have given the government a near impossible framework to work within. On this aspect, Braverman has my sympathy.

We are looking at pure vulture journalism here and I’m surprised that you’ve taken this up. She understandably didn’t want the points, didn’t understandably want to sit on the public course and validly asked the questions. Labour are being disgusting here.
