I first became aware of him as prisons minister, and he was promising to resign if he hadn't sorted out the violence/drugs/suicide/low staff morale problems he had inherited. but I guess there was a "if i get promoted before that year is up then fuck 'em" clause.

A glimpse at the truth and yet some people remain blind to it.
I think I've been on twitter for long enough and see it enough times on there but its always interesting to see how it plays in different contexts, the sheer variations of this kind of tweet (from the little I know she wasn't someone born into privilege like Boris or Osborne who are just placed into these journo offices, as oposed to MLC who is hoping to get to a powerful position by licking 100 boots a day every day) and how it presents itself. Someone who is doing it for laugh like Boris doesn't want to hang out in fucking offices! In fact they want to see whether they can burn the office down for a game. Otoh the likes of MLC see it as a game to be continuously played, that all the participants should be interested in this game (the game here = politics, instead of a matter of life and death).
Poor fools will be used and liberally discarded once they make a mistake that is picked up by enough people at the top. They aren't smart enough to avoid it.

There is a huge parliamentary majority - which includes me - for stopping no-deal.
