Been looking into the dates of the "go home" vans that Theresa May's former advisor said happened when she was "on holiday"

The vans were not some spur of the moment idea, but were part of a whole Home Office project," called "Operation Vaken.

Their evaluation of the project, including dates can be found here.

So what was Mrs May up to in July 2013?

Well on 18 July, 4 days before the operation began she released a statement

In that same week she confirmed to the Daily Mail that she wouldn't be attending the Royal birth (yes really)

On 27 July 2013 the Mail on Sunday published an "exclusive interview" about her diabetes diagnosis

On 30 July 2013, the Daily Star reported that "yesterday" she had sent an official request to Portuguese police over Madeline McCann

So to buy the "she was on holiday at the time" excuse we have to believe civil servants implemented a long planned and named operation on Monday 22 July 2013, a day after she had went on holiday, and May didn't notice when she returned the next week.
If you believe that, I have a bridge for sale you might interested in.
