g2...of course I think he will have a senior cabinet position...hope you not misunderstood my previous post...

As a remainer, but not a fanatical one, Hunt should have a cabinet position.

Lloyds workers ‘don’t resent’ chief’s £2.85m pay

The Times



António Horta-Osório is such a “charismatic winner” that ordinary branch staff at Lloyds Banking Group don’t mind being paid less than one-hundredth of their chief executive’s base package, incredulous MPs were told today.

Stuart Sinclair, chairman of the bank’s remuneration committee, defended Mr Horta-Osório’s £2.85 million fixed package as the Lloyds chief was accused of “greed” by members of the work and pensions committee and was told that his pay was “off the scale”.

Imagine you're a businessperson from anywhere in the world outside the UK and Europe wanting do business somewhere in the EU. You want to combine it with a few days touring with your partner, where are going choose to stay. London, the financial hub of the UK with all the tourist hotspots, Tower, Buck House, Changing of the guard, not to mention the most trusted legal system in the world,......or Brussels.....or Frankfurt?

Boris will do a Trump for Britain and make us feel great again. The naysayers and doom mongers are a thing of the past...a reason for celebration.

So Rory Rory tell us a story got knocked out...
Should have known that talking sense and speaking the truth isn't what people want to hear..
What was it he said??

"United Kingdom's Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond will warn the Conservative Party that its new leader, and UK's next prime minister, needs a "plan B" in case negotiations with the European Union do not end in an agreement.

According to excerpts from his upcoming City of London speech, he will caution that a no-deal scenario would cost the UK the £26.6 billion it set aside for Brexit and that the UK economy would be left "permanently smaller."

Hammond will also remind that the EU will not renegotiate the Brexit deal and that the issue of the Irish border "will not go away," urging the Tories to "be honest with the public."

"If the new prime minister cannot end the deadlock in Parliament, then he will have to explore other democratic mechanisms to break the impasse," Hammond will say, indicating that a referendum or a general election may be necessary.

However, none of the current candidates for Tory leadership have backed those options.

No one wants to hear...?
"the EU will not renegotiate the Brexit deal"
"a no-deal scenario would cost the UK the £26.6 billion"
"the UK economy would be left permanently smaller."

For me Bojo or Hunt would do...Hunt comes across as a young statesman...a bit like Tony Blair era...if Bojo slips up Hunt knows the door is open for him...

[poikka] 20/6/2019 08:19

Hunt's assured of a cabinet post, anyway.

[maxk] 20/6/2019 07:54

yes, I think there will be a contest, even if they have to script it and fake it.

[grahamite2] 20/6/2019 07:43

diku, the last thing anyone wants is another coronation, so I think you're off-beam with that forecast.

The UK will not be less influential once we leave the EU. We will regain our vote and voice in world bodies where the EU currently dictates to us

[diku] 19/6/2019 23:21

Once Javid and Gove are eliminated from the process and the final 2 are Bojo and Hunt...think Hunt will not waste time as he will step down giving Bojo the all clear...in return maybe a cabinet job...for Hunt currently it is a popularity/pride contest against other contenders...

[diku] 19/6/2019 22:58

This PM contest is looking a bit comical...Bojo is already at the finish line probably preparing for a new cabinet whilst other contenders are still racing against each other a mile behind...

[maxk] 19/6/2019 21:59

Clear the decks time.


Tory contest to be accelerated


First clearout at 12, second one at 6pm, to get it down to two.


Big hurry!

[excell1] 19/6/2019 21:35

And some of you Remoaners wish to be part of that mess.Let's get out of the EU as quickly as possible.

[hodhasharon] 19/6/2019 21:11

From 47p to 67p to 57p (50% retrace). Next stop 77p. Lloy themselves will buy any weakness.

[poikka] 19/6/2019 19:55

I think it's LGBQT+ now jacko, ffs.

[maxk] 19/6/2019 19:51

Perhaps Rory might like to join the jock party, be well at home amongst the fantasists.

[bargainbob] 19/6/2019 19:40

Rory was a breath of fresh air amongst Tory Trash,

[poikka] 19/6/2019 19:37

Yes, back in the box for Rory - and the back benches.

[grahamite2] 19/6/2019 18:55

The only interesting thing about Stewart's candidature is that some MPs actually voted for him.

It's as if they're saying, what's the matter with this Party? Is there nothing I can do to get thrown out?

[careful] 19/6/2019 18:43

All over, boris is home and dry.
That is the hard bit, now for the easy bit of delivering Brexit and running the country.
