I think resignation would require some kind of moral compass, so that's out.  She won't be sacked, her boss is Alexander "I didn't say that" Johnson.  I think the more likely outcome will be selling even more arms to SA as we fight side by side with them and the US against Iran; and many more innocent people will die horribly or live torturous lives because of a few people's financial interests and a few others' fanaticism.

I see Johnson claimed there were no press at hospital visit today while he was being filmed by the press. Agree that there is little chance of Truss resigning here - ministerial responsibility has been dead for some time.
