00:00 Good morning everybody. This is just a quick one as news breaks that Soheila
00:05 Baraveman, the Home Secretary, has been sacked by Rishi Sunak. It comes on the back
00:10 of course of her op-ed for The Times in which she used incendiary inflammatory
00:15 language regarding Israel, Gaza and essentially baited far-right groups into
00:22 the capital city where the Free Palestine Freedom March was taking place.
00:27 Now whatever your thoughts on the the Freedom March and the protest, the right
00:32 to protest in this country is a democratic right. It's a freedom that was
00:36 won through valiant sacrifice, remembered only this weekend of course, over
00:44 remembrance weekend, Remembrance Sunday, and speculation mounted over this
00:49 weekend that the Home Secretary would be relieved of her duties. The interesting
00:54 thing so far today to break isn't necessarily the sacking of Soheila
00:58 Baraveman. That was widely expected and and touted by commentators. The
01:03 interesting thing is just as I speak to you now, David Cameron has entered the
01:07 scene. He has walked through Number 10 Downing Street, presumably for a meeting
01:13 with the Prime Minister. Now wouldn't it be fascinating if David Cameron
01:18 were elevated to Home Secretary, presumably through peerage, but we get to
01:24 sort of see the detail on that. But I just wanted to break that news to
01:30 you. I'm still in my hoodie, hot from the dog walk, so we'll keep an eye on the
01:36 cabinet reshuffle. Nick Gibb I believe has also been sacked. We'll keep an eye on
01:40 the reshuffle for you. It will be live on the Yorkshire Post blog. Commentary will
01:45 come through during the course of the day. Sit tight, it's going to be a
01:49 fascinating day in politics.
