Alok Sharma leaves cabinet, but will continue as COP26/7 President and negotiator.

 

[Hugo Rune]

JRM resigns... jumping before he was pushed?

Horrid ****!

He even retracted his accusation that ‘billionaire Sunak is a socialist’ in the telegraph this morning stating ‘he’d do whatever the prime minister wanted him to do’.

But still got his privileged ass sacked the ****!

 

[jcdenton08]

Robert Buckland, Wales secretary is leaving the govt.

Shame, he made a better WWF World Champion than he does a politician.

 

[sparkie]

Brandon Lewis's a goner too.

Good.

He's been an absolute tosser who wants an EU Trade War over the NI Protocol.

Supporters of the mad Truss/mad Kwarteng mad economics faction leaving the building. Good.

A strong majority of Conservative MPs wanted Sunak (and very wisely didn't give the party members a chance to vote) so this is probably as near to unification of a Tory government available. Not greatly enthused, but anybody who doesn't heave a sigh of relief at the demise of the Truss regime needs to give their head a wobble

He didn't have a majority of MPs until Johnson dropped out. His supporters went to their second preference and then Sunak realised a majority. Not a very strong one as he ended up with 55%. Second preferential vote? Now where have I heard that before? Nice to see that the Tory MPs allow themselves some kind of PR when they vote. It's alright for some.
