How much of a bad person am I for the joy I get from reading the comments on Conservative Home on nights like this?
White privilege hadn't been invented in 1968 when Sartre led students to the Renault factory in Paris during "the events". The cry was worker-student solidarity. The workers interpreted this as meaning we provide the muscle that provides you with the power (including the power to dictate to us à la Soviet Union). They told Sartre and his teenagers to take a hike, correctly reckoning that they were better off being represented by the communist CGT whose leaders were authentically working class. Students in 1968 were almost exclusively middle class, rather like today's French Socialist party and our own Labour party.
ministerial salaries are almost double backbench salaries.Amber Rudd has resigned , oh sorry its already been done
Her Punishment - another cushy job on the same money with less pressure.

Is one more Remain vote better in the govt or on the backbenches.. hmm.
yeh. The commentariat are paid for prognosticating, not for the accuracy of their predictions.I remember the commentariat portentously warning that Greening would be a thorn in the government's side for remain from the back benches, when she was booted a few months back.
I wonder how that worked out?
Minister can't vote against collective responsibility, so backbench I guess?
Right. The idea that Rudd would be trouble on the benches is as misplaced, I think.yeh. The commentariat are paid for prognosticating, not for the accuracy of their predictions.

Indeed, especially as May's already hinted that Rudd might be back in cabinet after a short spell on the sidelines.Right. The idea that Rudd would be trouble on the benches is as misplaced, I think.

I do. Breaking news gove guillotined would make my day.She's a leadership contender, one of the few comedy options compared to BJ, Mogg etc. I'd read that she was looking around for a safer seat.
She was safe until the leaks about targets started coming out. I hope they put Javid in the post, or Karen Bradley. I don't want to see more of Gove or Hunt on the TV.
Can't see that. May isn't in a strong enough position.Rudd might be back in cabinet after a short spell on the sidelines.
