This 'Night of the Long Knives' has Dominic Cummings' fingerprints all over it

And it sends out a strong message to the EU too

Boris Johnson isn’t messing about. With his record breaking cull of non-believers from the Cabinet, it’s clear that he is keen to stamp his authority over his administration from day one. The Cabinet has decidedly shifted in the direction of champions of freedom and democracy. The Remainers are leaving and the Leavers are remaining.

Whilst Remainers and centrists like Rory Stewart and David Gauke ejected themselves before Boris Day, today saw the unprecedented expulsion of a further thirteen Cabinet level ministers from the Government. More than half the people who sat in the Cabinet this morning were out by the early evening.

Sure, I agree with you and happy someone has the guts to stand up to Brussels. A good deal between us and them will no harm Britain, but it's up to them. This is not Greece and...deal or no deal we will be free and out of this private sick club.

[poikka] 24/7/2019 20:30

k38 - "even that means to walk out of this mess without a deal !!"

The make-up of the new Cabinet is saying to Brussels, "The majority of this cabinet would countenance leaving without a deal, but would prefer it if we could reach an agreement acceptable to both."

I have no doubt that Boris will do as he said and make sure that businesses are prepared for no-deal and the opportunities that would be there.

The leeches of Brussels invested and gamble by splitting this county in two. The blame lies with the remainers, the ones who benefit of remain in this private club, and their sheep on the streets, (shame on you lot) let this great country down. NO MORE !To get the deal Britain deserves, parliament must support this government to the end, even that means to walk out of this mess without a deal !!

Indeed CtR!

That's why he is a Remoaner Maxk....

You have a terrible memory careful, really bad!

I am not optimistic about what is about to happen.
but I do congratulate the Brexiteers for pulling this off.

Everyone is optimistic and filled with hope right now.
May's approval ratings surged in the polls, labour were trying to ditch Corbyn, so she called a snap election.
A 100+ seat victory was predicted.
A disaster.

I like to get my hangover in early.
A con trickster has pulled off a stunt and become PM.
you should all be very nervous.

Britain is great now, rich now, it is all there to lose.

I’m hearing Boris Johnson has offered Alan Duncan a job just so that he can sack him.


Hahahaha too funny.
I'd give Alan Duncan a pair of concrete shoes.
In fact I'd give Jo Swinson and Caroline Lucas both a pair as well.

They're both fascists so they'd appreciate my abhorrence of their distaste of democracy when they don't get their way and the subsequent punishment meted out!!!

[poikka] 24/7/2019 19:25

Careful, if you're going to post negatively, at least back your convictions with a bit of substance, m8, not just guessing to suit your particular agenda.

[k38] 24/7/2019 19:25

Make Britain great again, for the sake of Europe and the world I am very happy with the reshape of this government and the determination of Boris to stand up to Brussels and Franco-German leeches. Oh, one more thing.. BBC licence fee should be abolished.. fed up with their propaganda.

[poikka] 24/7/2019 19:23

Rubi - " might push the £ down in the short term"

M8, I'm doing a Remoaner by saying "might", but jesting aside I did say "short term" meaning that it'd apply until the funding detail became clear.

[maxk] 24/7/2019 19:20

Michael Gove appointed to Cabinet Office as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, no deal coordinator.

[maxk] 24/7/2019 19:14

Stephen Barclay remains Brexit Secretary.

[careful] 24/7/2019 19:11

Boris is going for hard Brexiteers in key positions.
He is about the learn the limitations of his power.

His no deal programme would require a 100 seat tory majority.
..still hoping we shall get a deal.
He could and probably will pull it off.
Mays deal with a few minor tweaks .

So Boris has been chatting with Trump.

Never boring, so. many permutations.

"Poikka24 Jul '19 - 16:27 - 265550 of 265565
Just one thing to add, the extra police and hospital investment and GPs and infrastructure all cost money, so that might push the £ down in the short term."


Not if its funded by cancelling HS2 and abolishing Foreign Aid it wont.

And Javid is an ex Vampire Squid employee, so the very worst of banksters!
