Suella Braverman's time is up.

[philosophical]

The upside is the Downing Street coverage has featured a lot of Larry this morning.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Greensill shill.

Yeah, there should be lots of questions about that now, and Sunak's role in it.

 

[Mezzer]

it's a bit much to suggest i'm at fault for anything in this matter. david cameron's time is up again

Different thread though, innit?

 

[Orang Utan]

Massive lol that it looks like somebody is trying to get Pickers to admit that he ever got anything wrong, ever.

He did once to me, but by PM, the craven hypocrite that he is. Perhaps Sunak should appoint him as Minister Without Bumholio

 

[tommers]

Just fuck off. Stopping the boats, that's it. That's his only job apparently. Just laughable.

i don't think Pickers has got anything wrong, bar supporting dulwich hamlet.

You can but try

Yeah, he's more likely to paint his bottom blue and twerk round the streets of Westminster than admit he was wrong

Problem with a thick, divisive, vicious tory getting the sack is that they're replaced by a thick, divisive, vicious tory.

 

[Wilf]

Given their relative wealth levels, Sunak probably sees appointing Cameron as helping a poor boy out.

by no means. i said i didn't see this coming, and i thought it was so obviously a really fucking stupid move that even rishi sunak would not countenance the appointment given the ructions it will create within the conservative party. i'm also surprised the elevation could be made so swiftly. there are few people in the country, or even in the tory party, with as little skill in diplomacy as cameron.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Cleverly is a thick skulled dolt. Hopefully this is his departure lounge secondment.

Cameron- a detestable human being but would be a competent forren sec compared to recent inhabitants - he’s a salesman ultimately.

 

[Elpenor]

I think we're all veterans of watching politics on this forum and I'm not sure I've ever seen anything as desperate as bringing back an ex-MP who isn't even in the Lords as a Cabinet member.

What a wonderful democracy the UK has

One who, when stumbling into the sale of the century via major miscalculation, failed to effectively sell remaining in the EU.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Well yeh

 

[elbows]

The rather dodgy Max Keiser, whose overall politics I very much do not align with, did occasionally manage to say things I could agree with, and one of those was to label Cameron a used suppository salesman back in the day.

 

[elbows]

THeres been a gap in new reshuffle announcements but the BBC had this earlier this hour:

The prime minister has left Downing Street and is now in Parliament. What does that mean? It means - in all likelihood - he is sacking people.

People getting promoted get to strut the political catwalk of Downing Street. Those being blown out tend to be spared that public humiliation.

Stand-by for more announcements…

 

[elbows]

And now he is back in downing street so more soon.

 

[Petcha]

What a clusterfuck to wake up to after an evening crooning at karaoke and getting thrown out of my hotel. tbf, ive met cameron a couple of times and he was actually quite a nice guy. i know that's going to get me assassinated on here but im still drunk and i dont care. believe it or not he's on the left of the tory party, compared to the fucking cunt who was sacked. but it's bizarre. i dont think anybody saw that coming. they all want to be foreign sec as its the cushiest gig in govt so how he managed that is, well, bizarre.

 

[Karl Masks]

Can Sunak just make him a lord? If not how does Cameron get to be a minister? He's not an MP!

 

[elbows]

Yes, and its already been done.

 

[ouirdeaux]

I don't think anyone saw it coming. But not only did you say it wouldn't happen in hyperbolic terms, but you also didn't have the grace to post something about how you were wrong when it happened, which most people would have done, and would probably have pre-empted the gleeful schadenfreude. Sunak doesn't have the monopoly on poor judgement.

I do hope he inadvertently lets that slip to Cameron.

If I'm going to be taken to task for what I said please have the grace to address what I actually said, which was that I felt it more likely rs would paint his bottom blue and twerk round Westminster. I didn't rule out its happening.

What a wonderful democracy the UK has

A Winchester educated PM who has only ever been elected by a few thousand residents of Richmond appoints an unelected Etonian as Foreign Secretary. What a remarkable democracy indeed.

We have no definitive evidence he's not done this, and given what else he's got up to, let's not rule it out.

 

[elbows]

Sky says that William Hague brokered the deal to get Cameron back.

 

[PR1Berske]

We're on our 4th Foreign Secretary in four years

Raab: 2019-2021
Truss: 2021-2022
Cleverley: 2022-2023
Cameron: 2023-present

 

[Sasaferrato]

i don't think Pickers has got anything wrong, bar supporting dulwich hamlet.

Dulwich Hamlet got a mention during the commentary on the Liverpool - Brentford game last night.

Sunak probably thinks he will get on with the EU.
