As predicated Javid is the new Home Secretary. If nothing else at least it stops Abbott becoming the first BAME Home Secretary.

The job is a poison chalice and the graveyard of many promising careers from all parties. Careful what you wish for Javid.

The Home Secretary is the whipping boy / girl of the press and everything gets blamed on them sometimes unfairly. Whereas the role of Foreign Secretary is often the stepping stone to the big chair. It's easy to swan around the world meeting foreign leaders and not being bogged down by detail.

I cannot understand why the role is not split up, it is too big a job for one person. We do have junior ministers for immigration and justice but when the shinola hits the fan they get ignored and the media goes straight to the HS.

Time for reform I think.

One more point

Depends what the target is. In this case it was stupid and created misery for people who were perfectly entitled to be here. The target was wrong and has been scrapped, rightly so. Rudd had to go.

But don't worry about the state of British politics when a small issue like this can make a Home Secretary resign.

He's part of the majority in the country who aren't concerned by lefty talking points.

The Tory party at the moment is playing the left's social justice game.

It needs to stop being scared of the insult labels of the left and actually stand up for the majority.

It's amusing that the 'oppressor/oppressed' Labour party get away the slogan 'for the many not the few' when in reality they are out to screw the majority in terms of social justice and provide 'protected classes' for minorities.

How to get rid of Mrs May?

They will have to get her before a powerful committee as happened to Mrs.Rudd.

Forensic examination of her record as Home Secretary.

A policy of insitutionalised racialism IMO.

The victims all black or hadn't you noticed.

Comrade Abbott was questioned by Piers Morgan on the Good Morning Britain TV Programme today and when asked about the Rudd resignation she blurted out all the old stuff that she has been regurgitating recently as to why the Home Secretary had to go. When Morgan asked her a direct question as to whether her Party had a Policy as to whether illegals would be subject to targets for removal or should be allowed to stay in the UK, she became somewhat confused. After Morgan made several attempts to get a straight answer from her without any luck he gave up. Absolutely no confidence in this Shadow Home Secretary I am afraid. Rudd, even if she did slip up over Windrush, was articulate and not afraid to speak up on issues.
