Cabinet reshuffle today (15/9/21) - does anyone care?

[Badgers]

His whole life has been dirt. What the hell could she have that would stick?

Semen and shame

Jenrick of course is the corrupt cunt who waved through tory donor, general mate and sleaze merchant Richmond Desmond's housing development after a agreeable dinner. Coincidentally the day before the rules changed.

Still as we know really obvious corruption is super fine with Johnson. I wonder what got him sacked now? Laughed at his wallpaper.

 

[ruffneck23]

Raab demoted to justice secretary.

But given deputy PM title.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Raab demoted to justice secretary.

But, upgraded to Deputy PM as well.

A non-existent vanity role. Raab can use his legal training at least in the Justice role.

 

[ruffneck23]

Last deputy PM was Nick Clegg.

Yeah, Jenrick's off to spend more time with his kick-backs.

Yeah, wasn't Raab de-facto second in command anyway prior to today? I certainly remember it being him that was supposed to be taking over from Johnson when he nearly snuffed it with covid. I recall Raab shat himself and the bed.

See also Hezza and Prescott. Was Sir Geoffrey Howe also deputy?

 

[ruffneck23]

He has probably got a pay rise out of it.

Yes, as the foreign secretary he was also 'First Secretary of State', so considered second in charge, now he's officially deputy PM.

 

[ruffneck23]

Apparently Patel has gone into no 10, which there is speculation that she is going to be moved.

Or perhaps not, mixed messages at the moment.

 

[ruffneck23]

SHIT

 

[MickiQ]

Like pretty much everyone here, my response to Buckland getting sacked was "Who the fuck is he then?"
Williamson is an idiot, the man has the IQ of a breeze block and a God given talent for pissing people off, even Boris must have realised he had to go.
Jenricks is a shameless crook who keeps getting caught and for tiny amounts of dosh as well

From the Guardian

Downing Street has confirmed that Dominic Raab is becoming justice secretary and deputy PM. It says the Queen has approved his appointment as “deputy prime minister, lord chancellor, and secretary of state for justice”. He seems to have lost the first secretary of state title, but arguably deputy PM is just a fancier version of first secretary of state.

Most cabinets have someone seen as the de facto deputy PM, but very few people had the job as a formal title. The last person was Nick Clegg. Because of the nature of the coalition, he had some clout. If he had gone, he could have collapsed the coalition. For other people, the title has been more cosmetic. Geoffrey Howe was made deputy prime minister when (like Raab) he was moved from foreign secretary. Howe also had another, more junior job (leader of the Commons). Being deputy prime minister sounded important, but Bernard Ingham, Margaret Thatcher’s press secretary, briefed that the title was essentially meaningless.

Global embarrassment

 

[skyscraper101]

Imagine being so bad you're replaced by Liz Truss.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Both Gove & Oliver Dowden have gone into Downing Street.

 

[ruffneck23]

Truss is foreign secretary

 

[cupid_stunt]

Truss is foreign secretary

What the flying fuck?

 

[eatmorecheese]

Pork diplomacy

 

[cupid_stunt]

I can't believe I've just read this....

Liz Truss is the next foreign secretary, the Times’ Steven Swinford reports. That is is big promotion for the international trade secretary. But the move will be popular with Tory members, who have regularly rated her as the best performing member of the cabinet.

I try and stay positive, so let's put it this way - who do you think is smarter - Raab or Truss?

 

[nick]

Liz Truss?
It's hard to see what could go wrong really, isn't it?

'or' is the most talented

'or' is the most talented

'or' probably is aware that it's not only cheese that is imported, but also wine and bananas.

I'll a fiver on 'War with Belgium before Christmas', please.

I think that's very insulting to breeze blocks.
