‘Colin from Portsmouth’ put the pro-Suella argument as only he could
After increasing calls for Suella Braverman to be sacked, Rishi Sunak finally gave her her marching orders on Monday – by phone.
Rishi Sunak sacked Suella Braverman by phone this morning.
And Downing Street say there won’t be any exchange of letters between the two – almost unheard of.

While the news mostly led to celebrations and jokes, a certain demographic took it badly. If you watch GB News – or appear on it – you’re probably not happy with the cabinet shuffle.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, "I think getting rid of Suella Braverman is a mistake.. As David Cameron went into Downing Street, he looked very Prime Ministerial.. If I was PM Rishi Sunak, I'd be worried about being overshadowed by David Cameron.. People might want to talk to Cameron instead… pic.twitter.com/Cewh30LV4Q

If ever a person had GB News fan written across their personality, it’s the perma-outraged Colin from Portsmouth, who is a hilarious creation of The Exploding Heads – otherwise known as Anthony Richardson and Mark Davison.
Naturally, he had plenty to say about it.
"They say that every time you clap your hands a fairy dies. And today the Wokerati Anti-Growth-Far-Left-Coalition have clapped their hands in unison and extinguished brave Suella."

“And that’s the problem with camels, these days. They’re spineless.
It’s not Suella’s fault that she conducts policy over newspapers instead of in the House of Commons.”
Colin’s hot take – and Anthony’s subtly devastating responses – got a lot of well-deserved love.

"Brexit was unworkable but you didn't see anyone get fired over that. They all got made lords! Apart from Farage who got an ITV gig for over a million quid!"
It's funny. But it's also not funny. State of this frickin' country. https://t.co/ptAUE394Wo

Someone's talking sense about camels.
They've had it far too easy for way too long!
Bloody hump-backed, sand-hugging, sexy liberals!
