Rishi Sunak gave Suella Braverman her old job back as Home Secretary — despite ministerial code warnings
RISHI Sunak gave Suella Braverman her old job back as Home Secretary — despite warnings from officials about her breaking the ministerial code.
Downing Street refused to deny the PM ignored top civil servants’ bids to sound the alarm over reappointing her six days after she was sacked.
Mr Sunak dodged the question when grilled in the Commons yesterday by Sir Keir Starmer.
The most senior civil servant, Simon Case, was reportedly “livid” over Ms Braverman’s swift return.
But the PM’s spokesman said: “I don’t as standard get into discussing the advice ministers nor prime ministers receive from officials. But certainly I don’t recognise reports as regards the Cabinet Secretary.”
No 10 added that the PM would soon be appointing a new independent ethics adviser.

Mr Sunak brushed off concerns about Ms Braverman’s appointment, telling MPs she made an “error of judgment” and had apologised.
Labour has demanded an urgent investigation into how the Home Secretary got her job back after being fired for a double breach of security by sending government information from her personal email to people not cleared to see it.

But Cabinet Office minister Jeremy Quin said: “She’s acknowledged that she made a mistake, she offered her resignation and she stood down. The Prime Minister has decided that she can return to Government.”

GNU Grep 3.8 Starts Issuing Warnings About Using Egrep and Fgrep
The biggest change? “It’s now made more clear that if you are still relying on the egrep and fgrep commands, it’s past due for switching to just grep with the appropriate command-line arguments.”
The egrep and fgrep commands have been deprecated since 2007. Beginning with GNU Grep 3.8 today, calling these commands will now issue a warning to the user that instead they should use grep -E and grep -F, respectively.
Eventually, GNU Grep will drop the egrep / fgrep commands completely but there doesn’t seem to be a firm deadline yet for when that removal will happen.
From grep’s updated manual:
7th Edition Unix had commands egrep and fgrep that were the counterparts of the modern ‘grep -E’ and ‘grep -F’. Although breaking up grep into three programs was perhaps useful on the small computers of the 1970s, egrep and fgrep were not standardized by POSIX and are no longer needed. In the current GNU implementation, egrep and fgrep issue a warning and then act like their modern counterparts; eventually, they are planned to be removed entirely.
If you prefer the old names, you can use use your own substitutes, such as a shell script…
Other notable changes from the release announcement:
The confusing GREP_COLOR environment variable is now obsolescent. Instead of GREP_COLOR=’xxx’ use GREP_COLORS=’mt=xxx’
