Brexit: Suella Braverman ‘threatens to resign’ if she doesn’t like changes to NI protocol
Suella Braverman and Rishi Sunak: that vile gaze of mutual adoration says it all. I don’t think her threat to resign is real.
Do you think she’d be able to stay resigned, if she decided to actually do it this time?
Suella Braverman reckons she’ll head for the backbenches if Rishi Sunak’s latest attempt to negotiate a deal to replace the Northern Ireland Protocol of the Brexit agreement doesn’t satisfy the Democratic Unionists in Ulster and Westminster, and (we may expect) the Conservative Party’s own European Research Group (ERG), of which she is a leading member.
At least, that’s what we’ve heard.
Ms Braverman has already resigned her position as Home Secretary once – only to take it up again the very next week – and she has brazenly refused to accept the consequences of evidence showing that she is a security risk who should not have the job.
So we really have no reason to believe anything she’s saying now.
Happily, we have all been able to extract some mirth from the situation, as it has created considerable hilarity on Twitter (and, one presumes, elsewhere). Consider:
Suella Braverman is threatening the prime minister with her imminent resignation regarding his stance on the NI protocol.
Sunak will once again throw the UK under the bus to appease a grubby, ERG fascist.— Sarah (@SASR666) February 21, 2023
How is Suella Braverman ‘threatening to resign’ a threat? If anything, it shows that dreams really can come true. So dream big people. Dream big.

Dear @SuellaBraverman – heard you might resign – obviously agree that you should, wanted to offer you full encouragement to get that done. Do give us an update on your progress and whether or not you succeed this time & don't accidentally accept your job back again. Kind regards,

Suella Braverman belongs to a minority sect in Buddhism, which believes that no matter how many times she resigns, she'll always be reincarnated as a cabinet minister the following week

Suella Braverman has threatened to resign.
Let me make that visceral.
Why would anybody
and I mean anybody, be bothered by Suella Braverman resignation?You see, Tory party is full of
'Priti Patels' and 'Suellas'.— Amra Watson (@AmraWatson) February 21, 2023
So, Suella Braverman is 'threatening' to resign.
I wonder how many people who aren't right wing nutjobs, members of the ERG or the DUP, are thinking,
'Noooooooooooo, we can't afford to lose talent like Suella Braverman from the cabinet!!!' https://t.co/3Yw6xM7qsI— Higgins Cartoons (@higginscartoons) February 21, 2023
It’s affecting her work, too…
You still here?

The worst that can happen is if she stays in-post.
