I'm not sure if it's the Windrush scandal so much as the Amber Rudd Lying to Parliament For No Reason scandal.

The fact that literally anything came of it speaks volumes to how hosed up the entire situation is. The only reason Rudd ended up getting the boot was because she was caught bang to rights lying to parliament, twice. It wasn't the mass deportations of British citizens, nor the extremely racist "hostile environment", but actually just being caught lying.

Probably 4. But we hold out hope Brexit brings the government down in the next 18 months.

It's absolutely 100% lying to Parliament. Treating people who've lived in this country since the 50s like this should have been enough but once again the establishment care more about decorum than real life consequences.

There's also a reasonable idea that she'd pissed off her department enough that they were just going to keep leaking increasingly damning documents until she resigned. And there might be stuff that implicates May even harder.

She lied in a select committee last week, saying there were no targets to kick people out. The next day she had to speak in front of the Commons to explain that actually there were targets but she didn't know they existed. By Friday leaks came out saying she had known so she tweeted that they weren't targets, they were just an ambition. And then more leaks and it's been made clear she's been making poo poo up on this issue since the Windrush fiasco came to light.

it's a bit worrying that the new home secretary called momentum neofacist terrorists or whatever it was. theres pretty much no way he can act on that rhetoric without doing horrible things.

Even if you don't count him there was Leon Brittan and Michael Howard. And if you look at the other great offices you've got David Miliband and Malcolm Rifkind at FCO, and Nigel Lawson at the Treasury.
