Surely that's good, keeps the whole sorry debacle front and centre limping alongBUT staying on as caretaker until October, that stinks, he should be out now.
What kind of "care" will he "take"? It's not like he's a venal narcissist with no sense of public duty.BUT staying on as caretaker until October, that stinks, he should be out now.
Well they'll probably have to drag him out kicking and screaming in October so that ^ could yet come to pass...No last stand shoot out from the top floor of No10.

Well, Braverman has a vacuum for a brain but she is sort of right - it depends what you mean. Governments are run in the everyday by civil servants, not ministers, and can mostly keep going just fine without the ministers. Belgium managed months without an elected government. Ministers mostly just give broad policy lines for the civil servants to run along and they can just keep going on their most recent instructions until given new ones. A democratic deficit will become more apparent at some point due to lack of new instructions and lack of new legislation, but given how slowly those wheels turn in general there's no real hurry to get new ministers in most positions.
