May's Cabinet

[skyscraper101]

Morgan's gone.

Fuck yeah. Awful person.

 

[cuppa tee]

Gove
..... Gone

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Hunt oot.

 

[wheelie_bin]

Hunt oot.

Gove, Morgan and Cunt out. It's shaping up to be a beautiful day!

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Whittingdale and Letwin too. This is a bit more than a reshuffle, it's a reckoning.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Morgan has to go cause she's been utterly shit if nothing else, surely?

It's quite clear that competency has nothing to do with any of this, it's about how you've "played the game". Because that's what it is to them, a game about them and their egos.

 

[wheelie_bin]

Whittingdale and Letwin too. This is a bit more than a reshuffle, it's a reckoning.

Even Letwin. My my my.

Even the sun is out!

 

[Biscuitician]

I'm seeing nothing about Hunt being sacked.

As if this reshuffle will make any difference. They're the tories, they aren't going to suddenly rewrite their own DNA

 

[purves grundy]

Gove was always an awkward outsider - once he stabbed a toff or two in the back, he was fucked.

Possibly also to do with the ECHR and Human Rights Act, which Gove was never gung-ho about scrapping?

 

[Biscuitician]

How many cabinet posts has Hammond had? Transport, Defence, Chancellor, Cunt?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Sadly those are my thoughts too. As if the new crew are going to be any better than what they follow

I don't know, maybe particular individuals are more competent, and will only screw people over because of their ideology rather than their ideology and bungling everything like a 7 year old at the wheel of a car.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Hunt oot.

Aww, poor Jez, only yesterday his local rag published this...

 

[agricola]

It does certainly appear that way. I wonder if its significant that, in both main parties, the "modernizers" (or "moderates" if you prefer) are getting similar treatment at around about the same time?

One also wonders what this means for the second bit of Leveson being implemented, as all of those who were obviously pro-Murdoch have now been booted out of the Cabinet (if Hunt has gone).

 

[Lurdan]

Hunt moved from health to something else according to BBC

Hunt not sacked, getting a different job

Junior Doctor training p'raps. There's plenty of need at weekends apparently.

Yes, it's all very interesting/entertaining from a political anorak perspective, but ultimately it's a bit like discussing what kind of knife you'd rather be stabbed with.

They're not 'moderate' in any sense, mind. The Cameron-style modernisers had certain socially liberal attitudes but those were combined with, and used as a buffer against which to push through, vicious attitudes towards actual social policy.

We're now back to the old-school horror show.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Hunt oot.

Hunt not oot?

 

[Biscuitician]

Hunt could go to the DWP and process the claims of all those former junior doctors he fucked over in his previous job

Indeed, though of course that is something that could equally be applied to the Labour moderates as well. I just think its perhaps notable that all of the Tory "moderates", or at least certainly all the prominent ones, have been booted out within the space of 24 hours and whilst their counterparts in Labour have been sulking / scheming badly for the past ten months.

[Kaka Tim]

Wow - I guess may has spent some time sharpening her knives - a massacre of Dave's chumocracy.

 

[wheelie_bin]

It's moving too slowly, I want to know Health, Education and Work. Get an idea of intentions.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Get an idea of intentions.

Standard tory intentions I reckon, namely:

-Sell whatever you can.
-Burn whatever you can't.

 

[J Ed]

Gove, Morgan and Cunt out. It's shaping up to be a beautiful day!

Wait to see who replaces them.

 

[wheelie_bin]

Wait to see who replaces them.

Let's just have our moment to rejoice please. Plenty of time for anger and hate later on in the day.

 

[billy_bob]

Wait to see who replaces them.

Let's just try to enjoy the blissful interlude in which there's no one in those jobs at all.

Liz Truss - Justice

Why - what's happened to her?
