The beginning of the end

Overnight, the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, fell on her sword and resigned. But not for removing the rights of UK citizens and deporting them. No, for inadvertently misleading Parliament.

No apologies for the policy, no apologies for the misery, the breaking up of families, the denying of cancer treatment, the stopping of pensions.

This is a Government not worthy of its name.

And then, if we take that at face value, then several, if not all the Government front bench should also resign for misleading the House on Brexit. In some cases, I'm talking about you Boris, on an almost weekly if not daily basis.

Sajid Javid, a second generation man of immigrants is Rudd's replacement. But he has consistently voted for the measures revealed over the past month. Although he has said ut could quite easily have been he and his family that were deported. Again, no apologies for the policy, just for it being given the wrong name.

In the meantime the EU has written to Sajid Javid to express their and the steering committee's concern regarding EU citizens rights in light of the Windrush Scandal. That the EU wouldn't link the two was never in doubt. Just promising to protect rights won't be enough to convince the EU.

And then there is the NI/Irish Border; still not fixed, and the DUp now weighing in saying Mr Barnier does not understand Unionist feelings in regard to the possibility of a border between NI and the rest of GB. Well, as her party pushed for Brexit and no border between the north and south, maybe she can come up with a solution to fix the conundrum? I won't hold my breath.

And Barnier restated that without a deal which satisfies Ireland, then there can be no deal on anything, and you have until the end of June to fix it, or there is the backstop position, option 3, of a separate deal for NI, which the EU, GB and NI in the guise of the DUP agreed to. It was always a fudge, and complaining about a deal you agreed to makes you look stupid.

Just now the House of Lords defeated to Government with an amendment that will give Parliament the right to tell the Government of the day, might not be May by then, to go back to the negotiating table with the EU or stop Brexit.

May is now exposed as the politician that brought in the hostile atmosphere that resulted in the Windrush crisis, and there is evidence on Twitter, the BBS website and Hansard. Rudd may have taken the fall, but the target will be on the PM and it might be hard for her to survive. That said,no idea who would take her place, as a Brexiteer would be a disaster, though it would be impossible for even JRM to steer a no deal or bad deal through Parliament now.

Each day things get clearer. Probably.
