At LAST... some actual justice in the world. He's such a sniveling, self-serving obnoxious toe-rag.

I'm beginning to quite like Theresa May.



Sort of...

But we really do need a strong leader now, and getting rid of potential troublemakers right away is a good start.

Teachers (and sane people) across the land rejoice.

Stockholm syndrome...

Apparently May detested Gove and there were significant cl;ashes when he was Justice Secretary (which he actually did quite well after the Grayling era) and she was Home Secretary. Not a surprise that she binned him.

Not sure that he's someone you would want sniping at you from the back benches though.  Not sure if he's that type or whether he will keep quiet.

Not backing Boris looking a bit of a mis-calculation from Gove now.

Excellent!

Jeremy Hunt wasn't though.  He's done his best to f*** up the NHS and will continue to do so.

I think keeping Hunt at health is also smart.  He needs to sort this junior doctor mess out having started it and if he doesn't then May can say it wasn't of her doing.  If she put someone new there and it didn't get sorted then she is tarred with it.

Be careful. She's confirmed that the new Home Secretary will have the power to ban end-to-end encryption. Because of course, restricting strong encryption worked wonders when the US stopped anybody using anything more than 56-bit for banking transactions...

Oh wow. What's her justification?

National security. What else would it be?

She might just be really nosey.

Lord knows. 

But I don't want everyone knowing my business unless I've posted it all over Facebook! Wahhhh

digitalscream

Well, the funny part is that she's entirely focused on businesses - she explicitly says that companies shouldn't be allowed to implement end-to-end encryption that can't be cracked by the government. Sadly for her, most strong encryption is the result of mathematical research and open source implementation.

I'd rather Hunt had been sacked.   Such a missed opportunity.
