Downing Street made clear that Khan was not being blamed for the leak of the Yellowhammer documents on no-deal planning. A senior government source said: “Sonia Khan was not responsible for the Yellowhammer leak.”
Whitehall sources confirmed that the reason Khan was dismissed on the spot was because she had been in contact with people from a group of Conservative politicians working against Johnson by trying to work out ways to avoid a no-deal Brexit, and that she had lied about her contact with them.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
So, she was caught abusing/subverting the democratic process. Make her walk the plank.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
The left-wing press will doubtless want to spin this up into a story of chaos and mistrust at the top of government. The BBC’s report, however, is somewhat more balanced and worth reading in full. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49526811
Johnson has the right to refuse to allow the appointment* of any individual to a special adviser role working for any minister. Theresa May did the same to him when he tried to employ one of his former city hall staff.
Whatever they found in her phone logs was obviously serious enough that she needed to have her access and privileges cut immediately. Sajid Javid might be peeved at it apparently going over his head but I doubt this by itself is going to sour his relationship with Boris.
* and therefore also withdraw consent ... i.e. dismiss, sack, fire, etc etc etc

Hope she gets prosecuted if she's been leaking sensitive government information.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
It might, finally, reduce the number of leaks from no 10, which frankly have reached an unacceptable level. Good on Boris to tackle it.

Excitement is obviously very subjective, I find it annoying, tedious, frustrating, bollocks. Exciting.....no.

Constitutional crisis is always fun. Being able to witness the death of the UK unfold would be truly historic. Like being able to see the Bolshevik Revolution or the American Civil War.

Well if the welcoming the advent of death stiffens you up, then knock yourself out, or probably knock yourself one out. Whatever floats your boat.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
We're now expected to have ask permission from certain quarters on who or what to vote for. Otherwise they will try everything to block it.
The proroguing of Parliament is for a short period of time with a specific time frame, mainly shifting days to a period when Parliament wouldn't otherwise be sitting. It isn't over an issue that hasn't been fully put to the electorate.

If worst came to worst there’s death everywhere. Just because these would be (generally) white people with closer geography to me than civil war or famine in Africa is irrelevant to me really.
Hopefully the end of the UK would be peaceful, but nothing worthwhile is ever achieved easily.

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...postcount=1501 confirmed she didn't leak August's Operation Yellowhammer report. Apparently, it's now an offence to have any kind of contact with fellow Conservative Party members.
