Row over refusing to sack his advisers apparently. First sign that things aren't going quite as well as the Government would like us to think they are?

Is it PotG? · Feb 13, 2020

Wouldn't bin his advisers apparently.

I've applied, CV gone in.

Strangely he got rid of right wing nodding donkey Leadsom.

Can Patel and Raab go as well please ?

Good to see the back of Leadsom earlier, by the way.

Leekbrookgull · Feb 13, 2020

Where,s Diane Abbot when you need her ?

About time Dominic Cummings got kicked into touch, wields way too much power

...followed by the resignation of that philanderer and liar in-chief Boris Johnston please!

This is all down to Dominic Cummings.

sake, seemed to be a ray of sense in the cabinet. though the reasons are more significant, if cabinet members cant run their own teams it starts to look too centrally controlled.

West Hoathly Seagull · Feb 13, 2020

I see the Cabinet sackings include Julian Smith, the Northern Ireland Secretary, who got the power sharing Executive up and running again. Clearly doing the job you are supposed to do isn't one of the criteria for succeeding in a Boris Johnson Government.

No doubt somebody has a wheels falling off a car GIF available.

Apparently sacked because he said, a while back, that a No deal Brexit would be bad for NI.

Checking the cupboard for her playgroup abacus and wondering if anyone would notice she isn't a Tory?

Greg Bobkin · Feb 13, 2020

Could do a job?

Spot on. This is all Cummings wishing to be the puppet master of every department.

Whatever your political pursuasion....... Fair play to Savid Javid. Politicians are nearly all career ambitious and he's just walked away from the second highest political post he could hold rather than prostitute his independence and integrity to Cummings.

Rishi Sunak steps up to the plate

studio150 · Feb 13, 2020

Rishi Sunak appointed Chancellor.

I suspect the rest of the world are saying who?

Never mind the rest of the world. His family are probably saying “Who?”
