Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Migration and citizenship minister Mike Tapp has said he won’t be intimidated by Shabana Mahmood after the Home Secretary asked for him to be sacked yesterday. All played out in public… Tapp penned a Times op-ed discussing plans he had made to exempt care workers from Mahmood’s ILR changes. Sources close to Mahmood say he broke the ministerial code in doing so by breaching collective responsibility and added: “He has taken possible ideas that the Home Secretary and her team were working on, and briefed them as his own to try to win a job in the new administration.” All guns blazing… Starmer has however so far refused to sack the junior minister, who has been leading a zany campaign to force a general election if there is a change of Prime Minister.
