May's Cabinet

[brogdale]

Apols for source, but...

 

[Pickman's model]

leadsom in.

By the look of this cobbled together band of unlikeable thieving cunts, May is not planning an early election

leadsom ENVIRONMENT? will nobody rid us of this turbulent mother?

 

[Biscuitician]

Priti Patel - International Development

They moved her from employment?

Worth a cheer? But who's her replacement?

EDIT: will Justin Tomlinson, and his vile attitude, be moved from disabilities?

Farms & shit, innit?
May's thrown her the farmers now that Mother has ensured they'll no longer get their CAP subsidies. lol

I think farmers with dogs, shotguns, historically dangerous machinery and a hole in their incomes where the CAP used to be might be a good candidate...

To quote the great Hacker - in defeat malice, in victory revenge!

Don't forget the big Tory landowners

Yep. Richard Benyon being a prime example.

Among many many others

This racket is perhaps the strongest of all arguments for leaving the European Union, but the Brexiters’ silence resounds. Among the 13 Conservative MPs who signed an open letter last week undertaking not to cut subsidies for owning or leasing land if Britain leaves the union was Iain Duncan Smith. His wife’s family’s estate, on which he lives, receives £150,000 a year of your money, handed to them by the EU.

Remember what Duncan Smith did to the poor while he was work and pensions secretary? He presided over a system that drove many to food banks. I struggle to imagine less deserving beneficiaries of public charity than Iain Duncan Smith and family.

Hold on – I’ve just thought of one. Paul Dacre, editor-in-chief of the Daily Mail – which rails ceaselessly against other misuses of EU funds, real or imagined – has extracted £460,000 in European subsidies since 2011. How? By owning a shooting estate in Scotland and a tract of land in Sussex. I doubt Dacre knows much more about farming than the average reader of his newspaper, but you don’t have to be a farmer to receive this money; the rules say only that you must have “eligible land at your disposal”.

Would it be wrong to send TM a bunch of flowers?

Being married to a teacher, the sacking of the idiot Morgan means I might have sex tonight.

The Prime Minister giveth and the Prime Minister taketh away, blessed be the name of the Prime Minister...

In my experience teachers still hate Gove if anything even more than they hate Morgan. What will you get when you factor in his sacking too?

That's interesting. When he was asked in a TV interview after the vote whether the £350 million we would be saving should be spent on the NHS, I'm pretty sure he said something like "perhaps some of it, but there will be other priorities such as countryside management".

Jonathan Rugman's C4 News report this evening appeared to convey Kremlin pleasure at Johnson's FO elevation, (& Hammond's removal). There was also some throw away comment about "Brexit MPs" (presumably tory) making overtures towards the Assad regime.
Jesus.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Where does he live? If he had to use Southern Rail maybe there'd be a chance of getting them kicked off the franchise - f**ckers.

Sadiq Khan wants rid of them.

Take Southern rail franchise off operator, urges Sadiq Khan

Leadsom - DEFRA *
Damian Green - DWP

* ETA : where she will be explaining to farmers and landowners where their EU subsidies went...

Yup as someone from the telegraph pointed out it shows May has both a sense of humour and a wicked streak.

Environment too, so she'll get to wade in front rooms/high streets decorated with raw sewage and cop the flak when the winter floods come...

Assad does of course have something to teach the tory party about clinging on to power

 

[ferrelhadley]

When Leadsom was energy minister she allegedly walked into the ministry and asked if global warming was real and if fracking was safe. Now there is no Department for Energy and Climate Change. Tories but big blocks in the way of onshore wind and harmed our solar pv industry quite badly. The one grim positive over the past couple of years is that flooding hurts marginals and makes the nightly news much more than other major environment problems so now has some cash heading its way. I strongly suspect UK tight gas will prove much more expensive to extract and far less bountiful than expected, our energy plan seems to involve lots of fracked gas, a uber expensive and not so likely to be built nuclear power station, no investment into onshore wind when the UK can borrow are nearly negative rates and on the whole, lots of problems coming to us in the coming decades.

Other departments will have a bigger effect much sooner.

Here, from 3.57 onwards...

..we understand several pro-Brexit MPs have visited Damascus in the last few months..

The Damascus thing is wild if true. What on earth is going on there?

You're being wildly optimist about her chances.

 

[Anju]

Washington post seem to think that the cabinet appointments point to a step away from trying to have influence on the world stage.

New cabinet may signal Britain’s retreat as a Western power

 

[brogdale]

Perry obviously didn't fancy working for Grayling!

The rail minister Claire Perry, who has been the public face of the government during the outcry over Southern railway’s failures, has resigned.

No reason was given by the Department for Transport for her resignation, which happened on Thursday evening, but it came at the end of a fractious week in which she admitted she was “often ashamed to be the rail minister”.

 

[kebabking]

the odious Leadsom next perhaps?

she decided that she would tell the Times that she thought all male nannies, male childcare workers, male teachers and male youth leaders were Paedophiles..

fucking spectacular.

twats

i think twats might be being unfair - i've never met anyone with that number of shit opinions. i doubt theres anyone around that Cabinet table who read this stuff and didn't put their head in the hands and whisper 'oh for fucks sake, why doesn't she just fucking kill herself...'

On the one hand, probably. But I bet she wouldn't be alone in thinking sex discrimination should be up for grabs in the Brexit negotiations. Presentation is the issue.
