bojo is king, brexit is on, stuff is fvcked, tomorrow starts here -- new govt new thread new battle

sorry to spam the thread but does anyone know any middle-aged men (40-59) in Glasgow on low income (£28,500 per household) with experience of personal difficulty like job loss or relationship breakdown who would be interested in being interviewed for a research project. (£40 incentive) PM me if you think you do!

Again, truly sorry to spam the thread

that is interesting spam!

.. and i'll do near enough anything for £40 these days, apart from vote for KS.

Reshuffle on this morning - McVey, Cox, Leadsom, Villiers all out

spam glasgow more :)

If only I was in Glasgow

If only I was on £28000 :D

28k that's like winning the lottery!

listen to booming voice Cox yesterday, he sounded like he knew he was going and was blathering on pompously about how fortunately he is in huge demand for his other noble calling in life .. the bar.

was listening

has Cox definitely gone? Not seen that anywhere yet.

"In a letter to the prime minister, he says he has "resigned that office as requested" "

just seen it..total pompous cunt to the bitter end..trying to put a shine on getting pumped!

Disappointing to hear @LisaNandy say Labour ignored buses. We had costed policies to:

Give ALL councils powers to regulate buses & create publicly-owned bus companies
Reverse 3000+ route cuts & invest in new services
Provide free travel for under-25s
Electrify 35k buses by 2030

get her fucking told Andy

just seen that the nazi side of the culture wars take on Cox is that he was bad because Yack Yack got banged up under his watch!

Smith gone!

What's the theme of this reshuffle so far? Loud voices are being removed, quieter ones are being rewarded. It's the cull of the tall poppies.

tom newton scum

morelike poopies amirite?

Javid has resigned

The Saj has apparently resigned because BJ wanted him to sack his advisers and he refused.

Ever more apparent Cummings is the PM.

loyalty/disloyalty to the PM or to your own shitty little adjutants are both crimes in the Johnson cabinet!

Incredibly the Saj was probably one of the more vaguely competent people in this clown car of a Cabinet so stoked to see how this plays out.

Boris is one of their own but there will be a point where the press decide they want Cummings gone and he strikes me as a man with skeletons.

he certainly looks like a funnybones skeleton

wow at this

who are even CoEx contenders at this point

Rishi Sunak rumoured to be new chancellor lol

At least it’s not Gove

Rishi Sunak?

oh it'll be Sunak I guess xp

Rishi Sunak people may remember as the warm body submitted for a C4 debate towards the end of the GE campaign. Plus it’s made it known he won’t be running the place with his own people.

Confirmed.

A great office is a great office, even if you’re not the one making the decisions.

I bet he gets even more than £28k for that gig!

Is there still going to be a Budget in a few weeks' time?

No they're just gonna carpet bomb Red wall seats with money

Thought this before today but I really do not think former Labour seats are getting significant investment.

I mean as in 'are going to get more money as a reward for finally flipping blue'

They'll presumably be deferred so that the maximum effect is felt in five years time.

Can't wait for the double decker pacer trains of 2024

Rishi Sunak is what passes for a 'rising star' in UK politics in 2020. Gawd 'elp us.

I think RLB left him looking quite dumbstruck and embarrassed in one of the TV debates in December.

He was on the election debates on ITV and BBC - a total non-entity, which is very much what they were looking for - an ice sculpture made flesh.

as opposed to an actual ice scuplture standing in for boris on channel 4

That was such a crock as well, they barely melted during the whole thing

Kier Starmer strongly disapproved of this of this non-melting I heard.

Sunak is like an Asian Matt Hancock, a creepy little weasel who was bullied mercilessly at prep school but got round that by wheedling his way into the bullies' circle, then cheering them on as they bully others the way they used to bully him. All the while knowing he's a misplaced word away from ending up with his trousers at his ankles and his head in a toilet bowl.

He is also another Oxford PPE type.

Yes. This Sunam chump won't be writing it.

Autocorrect has to learn his name

at least he has 3 weeks prep to practise looking like a grown up Chancellor for when he announces Cummings' budget.

a Cummings budget will be great, looking forward to a few billion being invested into building a giant AI to replace the Queen as head of state

that does sound like an improvement tbf, maybe this waterheaded william gibson misunderstander is on to something after all
