Richie should have shown strength and sacked him. Piss poor from the midget.
presumably if he just apologised he could have been reappointed within a week? Not sure we've seen the last of him despite 3 sackings

Apparently our PM accepted the resignation with "great sadness". Yeah, great sadness for the shit he is going to get at PMQs in a bit.

Sunak said he was going to lead a government with "integrity" :lolol: Then why give a job to Williamson who had already been sacked by two different PMs from two jobs? When you weigh that in with the reappointment of Leaky Sue, it seems Sunak has no more "integrity" than his predecessors.

The ex-chief whip, Wendy Morton, has filed an official complaint about Gavin Williamson. Hopefully it won't go the way of the Russia Report, or Sue Gray's report etc etc


I'd totally forgotten about the Sue Gray report. Presumably Johnson is in the Privileges Committee dock soon ?

I hope he gets suspended long enough for a recall petition, but I'm guessing the sentence will conveniently be 1 second short of the required time for this.

Has been delayed because the Government are said to be witholding important evidence.

Now Williamson is gone, the spotlight will fall back on Braveman.

Two things to keep an eye on for the next few weeks I think are if Defence is cut in the Autumn statement I think Wallace will resign, and if the triple lock on pensions is dropped there will be a back bench rebellion of some kind.

Could be a choppy few weeks.

Yes, those possibilities might not emerge but, whatever happens, even within the Tory Party, certain groups are going to be disappointed.

Braverman?

I think Raab is going to have something to say about that!

Sunak?

Is he a weak coward who lets people bully him into giving them a place in the cabinet?

Is his judgment so poor he really believes these arse-holes are fit for cabinet?

Are there simply no other choices in a party bereft of any qualified personnel with a sense of morality?

All of the above?

It’s coming, it coming home, it’s coming Brexits coming home …
Spending cuts of about £35bn and plans to raise some £20bn in tax in the coming years are expected to be set out in Thursday's Autumn Statement.

No, he can only choose from a small, select bunch that Johnson and Truss had, i.e. the backwash, bottom of the barrel politicians who wouldn't get near the cabinet in a million years so are happy to pretend Brexit is still a good idea, perputuate and spin all the lies, corruption and gaffes. So there are many good, true conservsative politicians banished to the wings while this inept cabal carry on driving the country along the road to ruin for another 2 years, and he can't do a political left turn otherwise he won't have a mandate so has to keep flogging the Brexit dead horse

Nail on head.

Our country is being run by the equivalent of Ron C Manager

What does the 'C' stand for? ???
