    Lisa Nandy – 2021 Comments on Dominic Raab’s Future

    The comments made by Lisa Nandy, the Shadow Foreign Secretary, on 19 August 2021.

    How can Boris Johnson allow the Foreign Secretary to continue in his role after yet another catastrophic failure of judgement? If Dominic Raab doesn’t have the decency to resign, the Prime Minister must show a shred of leadership and sack him.

    [NB 1 – Alexander Bannerman, MP for Aberdeen 1832-1847

    After his parliamentary career had ended in 1847, Bannerman began a new career as a
    colonial governor. His first appointment was as Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island
    in 1851, followed by the Governorship of the Bahamas in 1854 and finally Newfoundland in
    1857

    It was while Governor of Newfoundland between 1857 and 1864 that Bannerman left his
    biggest mark upon history. According to the Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage website
    “Bannerman’s term began in the midst of heated negotiations between the colony, France
    and Britain regarding French fishing rights along the French shore. Bannerman found the
    Newfoundland government, under John Kent [1805-1872, Premier of Newfoundland 1858-
    1861], unreasonable in its dealings, and corrupt. He argued that undeserving people received
    relief aid, and that funds were misappropriated. Characteristically, Bannerman tried to fix the
    problems. During the 1859 elections, he called for an enquiry into election procedures at
    Harbour Grace and Burin [two towns on Newfoundland] after reports of disorderly conduct
    took 10 days to reach him. He also held an independent inquiry into reports of undue
    influence within the Assembly. The most sensational political drama ensued when Bannerman
    dissolved the government during a dispute over a currency bill when premier John Kent
    questioned the governor’s authority. The dissolution resulted in a tense election of the
    opposition party to power [led by Hugh Hoyles 1814-1888, Premier of Newfoundland 1861-
    1865], and crowd violence in St. John’s. Troops quieted the riots, however, and the
    government resumed its work.”

    After his term expired in 1864, Bannerman returned to Great Britain where, weakened by a
    cold, he died as a result of falling down a flight of stairs on 30 December 1864.]
