May's Cabinet

[brogdale]

what a shitheap of a cabinet. This ship is already holed below the waterline before it leaves port. Hopefully it will go down with all hands.

More like a 'you shit by the bucket, now you clear it up' cabinet.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Boris Johnson will insult an important foreign dignitary whom we need on our side and within weeks we could be at war again.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

I've woken up to a fucking nightmare!

 

[brogdale]

For the Guardian, this is quite funny...

Johnson’s appointment represents a glittering promotion for him - but perhaps a demotion for the Foreign Office. Superficially it is an odd appointment, because it won’t take long to compile quite a long list of countries and foreign leaders Johnson has offended in the past, but he likes to be liked and he may forge good relations with his counterparts. But the new arrangements also suggest the Foreign Office is being downsized. It used to be in charge of aid, but under Labour it lost that to DfID. Now it is losing Brexit (to Davis’s department) and international trade (to Fox’s department). What’s left for Johnson? Forrero Rocher?(sic)

Shame about the sp.

Uh, isn't the whole point of the EU that member states don't make individual trade deals? It's a UK-EU deal he'll be negotiating.

 

[treelover]

Johnson as Foreign Secretary, at a time when relations with Russia are at an all time low, through the looking glass stuff, what is May playing at?

International Trade Secretary Liam Fox:

 

[Dan U]

First to resign?

First to resign?

Fox or Johnson.

I suppose that Crabbe might be a runner in the race of shame...

 

[hash tag]

Just trying to catch up. The only positive thing to think of is a Brexit campaigner has been given the job of extracting us from Europe. When it goes all tits up, he won't be able to point his finger at others.

 

[tim]

No chance, he's a loony lefty.

Rather simplistic, he's actually rather difficult to nail down.

 

[Vintage Paw]

There have been too many politics, it's official. I just described David Davis as the Secretary of State for Breakfast.

 

[Supine]

First to resign?

They can't happen soon enough!

Boris didn't look happy leaving #10. Might have realised he has some real work to do for a change!

Was David Davis appointed in the knowledge he would fuck it up?

David Davis as the Secretary of State for Breakfast dog's dinner.

FTFY.

 

[tim]

I gave up almost all hope when I heard that May had chosen a hymn as one of her tunes on desert island discs. The tiny bit of hope I had left disappeared when BoJo was offered a job Regardless of whether he will have much influence or not it shows that things continue unchanged.

Odd that we're leaving the EU, but have suddenly acquired our first Christian Democrat Prime-Minister

Won't expect any toast in the morning then, fucking austerity...

coincidence......
Boris Johnson has been called a 'Putin apologist' for his Russia comments .......?

 

[tim]

He'll pick arguments faster than he can say piccaninny. He's a vile man.

You've never forgiven him for beating you at whiff-whaff, have you?

He'll be fine as long as they keep him away frm sadistic nurses.

 

[eoin_k]

David Davis is 'Minister for Brexit', Liam Fox International Trade

Which leaves BoJo the clown with the portfolio for keeping the Duke of Edinburgh entertained on state visits abroad?

 

[wheelie_bin]

Was David Davis appointed in the knowledge he would fuck it up?

Doubtful. He's got more experience on the EU itself than his fellow Brexiters, he's most likely to take decisions to the HoC and he has always been eurosceptic unlike Boris.

At what-what?

Creating a blame buffer for a single market solution

Lower than during the Cuban missile crisis or the Crimean war?

 

[where to]

Johnson is there so she can sack him.
