He's swung enough maces to know what he's talking about.Heseltine saying that the PM's designated survivor is the de-facto Pm and Gove's "no it's the cabinet" doesn't hold constitutional water.

Nah, he's waiting for the right moment...not now when we're about to run out of body bags.I hope it's not gove
from the telegraph .. apart from maybe helping explain why he might have had to get seriously sick before getting hospitalised its totally unsurprising in describing an ideological / moralising attitude towards feckless lesser 'weaklings' who get ill.

TBH Churchill's legacy and reputation are defined more or less entirely in comparison to his enemies. Without a Hitler-calibre evil villain against him he'd have gone down in history as a murderous scumbag.
Not sure a virus is going to do the same job for Johnson.
It's Raab. We knew this before there was any question of Johnson being ill. That's why Johnson didn't need to be in any way involved in telling Raab to deputise "where necessary". He just automatically stepped up.I hope it's not gove
In the land of the cunts he truly is Primus inter paresHe's a nasty backstabbing shit.
Reckon this behind-the-scenes tussle is the reason for Raab's nervous TV performance yesterday. Nothing to do with worry for the PM.Heseltine saying that the PM's designated survivor is the de-facto Pm and Gove's "no it's the cabinet" doesn't hold constitutional water.

I reckon he's just bricking it cos he is now the one who has to make the decisions. He is a deeply unimpressive person, even by comparison with the rest of the cabinet. Deep down, he probably knows that as well.Reckon this behind-the-scenes tussle is the reason for Raab's nervous TV performance yesterday. Nothing to do with worry for the PM.
Had to Google it, but apparently the sentence was commuted to just being expelled from the party.Heseltine is still alive?

Tory is backstabbing shit shocker.He's a nasty backstabbing shit.
Having been through this I totally agree, took me around nine months.An intensive care consultant just said in an interview with Adam Boulton, on Sky, that surviving ICU patients often suffer very long term psychological cognitive and physical problems which need to be dealt with.
It is just possible that the likes of Rabb and Gove are shitting it about their own health.
I would expect Gove’s nostrils to be pretty resilient, allegedly.Gove is now self isolating so that limits the field
To recap it was the basis of their initial reaction though they shat their pants on that one once the scale of deaths became inescapable, but that initial reaction betrayed their instincts. They've basically fallen in line since: the remaining failures of keeping building sites open, not letting out enough prisoners etc etc, is less eugenics and more other core aspects of Tory ideology.That's an intersting reply Ska. How in your opinion is this penchant for eugenics informing the Tory governments corona virus strategy?
He needs macing, the bastard.He's swung enough maces to know what he's talking about.
As horrible as this stuff is (and it certainly is class war) to call it eugenics is a bit of a stretch. I mean your effectively calling all capitalist governments supporters of eugenicsThat said the virus is killing the poorest more than it is the richest. A socialist government would look to where the need is greatest and concentrate its support there. A capitalist government supports capital first. <Eugenics underpins that outlook too. It is displayed in that quote above from the Telegraph about how Johnson thinks illness is for the weak. Its displayed in pushing people off benefits and into the grave. It runs through everything they do like lettering in a stick of rock.
I suppose all the Labour daggers in Corbyn's back were rubber?Tory is backstabbing shit shocker.

There's also a long-standing convention that the First Secretary of State depuitises when the PM is unavailable, for whatever reason. If he resigns or dies, I don't think Raab steps up. But for now, BJ is just a bit busy.I'm not sure that Hesletine is correct about the position of PM and 'deputising' - the PM is who the largest number of MP's says it is, it's not something that's in the gift of one person to transfer to another.
There are two principles here that both sit next to each other and slightly grind against each other - the PM can delegate authority, while cabinet and the HoC agree to it (whether explicitly or implicitly), but IMV this becomes less and less tenable the longer it goes on, as it starts to bump up against that first principle.
