I'd back her down to 1.5 to stay as home secretary for at least 6 months after (yet another) new PM takes over.

She's making a lot of the right noises and some of the right moves on immigration, and, putting it euphemistically... she's got enough pigmentation to fend off the quiche eaters.



She hasn't stopped the boats, but She's cut immigration, cut the spend on 5* hotels, cut the student dependency asylum seekers and a few other such things heading in the right question.
She's done more than any other home secretary in the last 15-20 years to cut the mass influx of other cultures to UK.

Genuine question:

What's not to like?


Who would you prefer in the the job?

Hasn't she doubled from 5 to 10 years and added a load of "Financial stability" clause to the UK citizenship qualification?


On the flipside, I've just remembered shortly after she got the job she publicly declared her first loyalty was to one of the middle eastern book clubs and I immediately thought FFS WAC.

but hey, as with all politicians, look at what they do, not what they say.
Report Zephyrus July 15, 2026 1:16 AM BST
She's more right wing than the Tories, when it comes to immigration. I don't forget that Boris opened the doors to ~4,5 million legal migrants who are non-european. The Tories betrayed the british people who supported them. If her ideas are blocked by her own party Reform is going to win the next general election, and Restore is going to grow big. When people voted for Brexit politicians promised less taxes and less migrants, now we have more taxes, more legal immigrants than ever, more illegal immigration, and economic stagnation.

I'm slightly puzzled why the right wing so hated starmer, given that he should get some credit for mahmoods moves on immigration.


Starmers replacement is pretty much an unknown package, and may be less favourable to the right wing.

Shabana doesn't take shiit from anyone and knows how to get results. She is exactly the person Burnham will need to force through departmental budget cuts.



I think people will be surprised by Burnham. Personally he's not combative. He's more interested in fixing problems than playing the blame game.

Kemi will find it very difficult to lay a glove on him.

What's the financial acumen of mahmood?

Why does anyone care what badenoch will/won't find difficult to do?

Can you lay out the results that mahmood has achieved in her career (aside from getting herself promoted) ?

It is already evident what type of pm Andy Crapp is going to be. Hiding their plans, hiding from scrutiny, gaslighting, ably assisted by his champagne socialist pals and legacy media. Let's see, so far he has appeared for soft soap cosy fireside chats with 'adults back in the room' trot Marr, and far left 'refugees are welcome' vinegar lineker. Starmer gas mark II.

There has been increasing talk of the current home secretary becoming chancellor.

The BBC has been told there are "live discussions" about putting Mahmood in Number 11, while the Financial Times, external is reporting it as a certainty based on three sources close to Burnham.

Apparently Ms Mahmood has never made a detailed and cogent financial comment in her political career or as a minister. My own preference is Ms Cooper or even Sir Shameless, no doubt socking for some here.

Yup, for my part I'm trying to get the liberalists to defend it. Nothing yet.

The current cabinet and ministers may as well be holograms, their role isn't to implement policy but to deflect and defend what others are trying to do. Hence, anyone can do it. No finance knowledge needed (not that they have any MPs that would have deep knowledge of finance anyway).

One can only laugh at the constructed narrative, mahmood for chancellor calms the markets. lolol

The average liberalist mostly form opinions based on data, and is non partisan, they won't
defend something which is against their principles simply because their preferred party is guilty of it.
E.G.
Liberalists will say all pdfiles should be prosecuted, right wingers will run away from saying that because all the data says their cult leader is a pdfile.


So this is probably why no liberalists have jumped into to defend this less than ideal mess.



what is a liberalist?
AI Overview

A "liberalist" (more commonly referred to as a liberal) is someone who advocates for a political or social philosophy centered on individual rights, liberty, democracy, and equality. They generally support civil liberties, freedom of speech, secularism, and the rule of law.
