May has made many, many, serious mistakes with her present short-arsed job.

Home Office is biggest challenge in Government and Theresa May has done a good job whatever you might think from a distant/remote part of the World. Also remember she was/is? subject to direction from Cameron and financial constraints from Osborne. Procuring a new Coastguard with fast intercept naval vessels was never going to be within her gift.

“The ruling could hardly be more damning. It found Theresa May deported thousands of students from Britain on the basis of unscientific hearsay evidence. The Home Office behaved like a tin-pot dictatorship: detaining innocent people, accusing them of made-up charges without providing anything to back it up, denying them their day in court and then deporting them.”
But she can't find the illegal immigrants that came in under her watch.

“The Home Office has been strongly criticised for failing to deliver a new e-border programme described as ”vital to national security“.
”A new system, which was due be working by 2011, will be eight years late and £400m over budget, according to the Public Accounts Committee.
In a report published on Friday, the committee said the Major Projects Authority had made seven warnings about the issue since 2010.
Despite this, the committee suggests officials “were worryingly dismissive” about those warnings.“

”MPs last night accused the Home Office of 'complete failure' as it emerged killers, rapists and sex attackers are among 760 foreign criminals allowed to go on the run.
The 'dysfunctional' department had still not managed to get a grip on the shambolic system for deporting overseas convicts, Westminster's public accounts committee said.
In addition to the criminals who have simply vanished, 151 inmates were freed without even being considered for removal.
Meanwhile, £6.2million in compensation was paid to 229 foreign national offenders because of Home Office delays in dealing with their cases – an average of £27,000 each.
Boring, but you get the gist, I hope!
No, afraid not.
Jun 26th, 2016 - 06:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you look at her hopeless predecessors from Straw onwards, Theresa May stands out as an extremely effective Home Secretary.
Some failures perhaps but many more successes.
She has my vote, no question.
We will all find out very soon.
