Amber Rudd gets Led By Donkeys treatment in Hastings

“The idea of leaving the EU to take back more control into Parliament and to consider the idea of closing Parliament to do that is the most extraordinary idea I've ever heard”, she had said in June.

Amber Rudd was given the Led By Donkeys treatment in Hastings yesterday.

The campaign group used a mobile TV screen to air her previous comments about Boris Johnson’s attempts to prorogue parliament.

The Work and Pensions Secretary has been surprising quiet on the matter since the PM put the request to the Queen.

She did not comment on the matter when asked about it by the PA news agency on Thursday after she visited a jobs and benefits office in east Belfast.

Which is in stark contrast to comments made just months ago in June, when she said:  

“The idea of leaving the EU to take back more control into Parliament and to consider the idea of closing Parliament to do that is the most extraordinary idea I’ve ever heard”.

Hi @AmberRuddHR, thought your constituents in Hastings might want to be reminded how “absolutely outrageous” you consider Boris Johnson’s suspension of Parliament. pic.twitter.com/1x6aFBtFt1

Calling the plans “absolutely outrageous” she said she felt as strongly as Rory Stewart on the matter.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
