LOL, how far the mighty have fallen , how bad does it have to be that you have to dredge to such a level, the man aspires to be a cretin.
Eliza, can you request your drunken first-year programmers at the Uni of Strathclyde to insert the humour, politeness and positivity subroutines back into your program please?
Truth must out Josias, country is going down the plughole with this lot for sure
There is a slight chance he might put the plug in in time. But it is remote.
('putting the plug in' might mean something very different to Boris.)
To me it looks more like Boris wants to ram through a deal so is packing the payroll vote and banking on the sacked to support him on policy grounds.
Surely the way to do that would be the opposite, put people who disagree with you on the payroll vote and have backbenchers who agree with you!
But agree on what? The suggestion is he is packing the payroll vote with headbangers so they have to support his Brexit deal, while relying on the sacked MPs to vote for a deal because they think it is better than no deal.
I am sure Boris does not intend to leave with No Deal.
I'm a bit disappointed to hear you say that. Given his behaviour I think it's entirely possible. I'd say that it's likely in fact, but YMMV.
I don't have any sort of inside knowledge of the new administration. It just seems fairly obvious that avoiding No Deal is manifestly in any administration's interests. All the more so if it doesn't have a majority!
You're assuming that Boris cares about the people of the country or the administration. He just might be loyal to himself and nobody else. If no-deal wins him an election (and @HYUFD has frequently advanced scenarios where it does) then he will no-deal regardless of any bad effects to other people.
Corbyn is a gormless gutless clueless cretin. He knows that however excretingly bad Shagger's cabinet looks - and its spectacular so far - it'll still be more popular than he is
You should leave the Party if you are so consumed with bile and hatred for our democratically elected leader.
You are no longer an asset to the Labour cause you are a liability.
I know these things I am an accountant.
Perhaps Ms Swinson the austerity collaborator and war mongerer is more to your taste.

Has WilliamGlenn popped up yet to point out this is all part of Boris’s secret masterplan to discredit all the Leavers in Government, and Brexit once and for all, so he can Remain in the EU and lead us into the Euro?
Johnson is going all out. Not sure if it will work, but if it fails, I suspect Brexit will fall with him. The reaction against everything Johnson related will be total.

harsh on Rochdale but you got Swinson to a tee, though you missed out rampant fibber.
Have to laugh at the mock shock and horror that those who backed Hunt are not being preferred. I thought this was a betting site? Surely gamblers should understand that those who back the winnings horse get the winnings?
Hunt and his supporters lost the election fair and square. Boris had the backing of over 150 MPs didn't he?Theoretically he could easily fulfil every ministerial role only with those who backed him.
Other than Mordaunt still not seen any names going to backbenches to regret. In fact Arkhangelsk those like May, Hammond and failing Grayling out this is a good day.
Jezbollah still responding to every single thing that ever happens with "we need a general election". So call a confidence vote you gutless scum coward.
We've been here before - he was pushed into a VONC vote against May which strengthened her. It's worse than useless unless you think you might win. Putting one on dissolution day to be voted on when they get back sounds a more interesting tactic.

But then both Francois and Baker will have to be in the government.
I want to know what lottery numbers Jo Swinson has this week.
Whichever ones her Fracking and Tory masters say she has.
More Tory than most Tories says her voting record
Consistently voted to reduce welfare and benefits, including cutting payments for people with illnesses or disabilities. She also voted to cut the Educational Maintenance Allowance for 16-to-19-year-olds. And she helped to raise university tuition fees, despite promising not to as one of the key policies that helped elect many Lib Dem MPs in 2010. Her track record on environmental issues, meanwhile, shows she supported the badger cull, fracking and HS2.
SO consumed with hatred for Labour that you no longer care how bad Swinsons Tory collaboration was

Jezza needs only to be told by a few Tory rebels (aka sane branch of Conservative Party) that they would VoNC and he goes for it tomorrow.
I am sure there are channels of communication available.

The clearest sign of a new spirit of optimism and global 'can do' is surely the elevation of Priti Patel and Dominic Raab to two of the major offices of state. Great news.
But sacking Chris Grayling just for a cheap headline? No. That is a gratuitous abuse of power which is not to be applauded.

Corbyn and Johnson are wonderful news for the LibDems, especially now that Johnson has embraced the hard right. I’m sorry you can’t see that, but it’s true. I would prefer a Labour Party that could defeat the Tories. Sadly, though, that’s not what Labour members want.
As a totally tribal Liberal Democrat I genuinely feel sympathy for Richard. I am as committed to the ideals of my own party as he has been to his and although the Lib Dems test me occasionally, the bonds of friendship alone keep me on the campaign trail.
However in the 6 hours that BoJo has been PM, this shuffle confirms every one of everyone's worst fears about him.
The guy is taking a wrecking ball to party unity and whereas Mrs. May alienated her opponents, Johnson is alienating his allies.
How long before the first "Boris has blown it" headline?
It's over half a century since I joined the Liberal Party. Not once have I felt remotely as strongly as I do now that we really are the only option. And that - just possibly - Providence may have given us the leader we need to make the most of the position we're in.
The fat thug seems determined to demonstrate it's possible to be more dangerous than Corbyn and more doomed to failure than May. We really are the only party committed to healthy, democratic, capitalism.
Good to see Hunt sacked. I liked him but turning his nose down at Defence was disgusting. Our Armed Forces deserve better than to be scorned.
Who does he think he is to demand any job? He lost fair and square. Had he won I doubt he would have given Boris a Great Office of State and he would have been entitled to pick the team he wanted.
Whether or not you like them as people or approve of their politics, there is something worth noting about having two of the three big cabinet jobs taken by people of colour.
Of course promotions to these jobs should be on merit - but it is still a significant step in terms of representation
Garbage , race , colour , creed should play no part in it, talent should be the only prerequisite. It is coming to it when we are putting people in charge of the country purely based on their colour, we are nearing the bottom.
Blast. I hate agreeing with you. I feel unclean.
I am usually right and always truthful, you are in good company.
I am not sure I agree. How do you smash glass ceilings with your approach? It’s like you are saying humans don’t contain subjectivity and prejudice can decide purely objectively.

Rochdale reminds me of so called football "supporters" who want their team to lose 8-0 every week so the manager gets sacked.
Just give up the season ticket and go and support a non league side.
There is nothing much happening this evening so if you fancy watching a documentary about Macmillan's Night of the Long Knives when he cleared out half the Cabinet:
Good to see Hunt sacked. I liked him but turning his nose down at Defence was disgusting. Our Armed Forces deserve better than to be scorned.
Who does he think he is to demand any job? He lost fair and square. Had he won I doubt he would have given Boris a Great Office of State and he would have been entitled to pick the team he wanted.
I couldn't agree more. Dreadful to think he was too good for Defence.
Do the public really react to cabinet reshuffles? A good number I know probably couldn’t name 5 cabinet ministers (they will probably be able to name much fewer after today, admittedly!)

You would not have seen Theresa May give top jobs to the also-rans in her leadership election (except for all of them, including Boris of the FO).

Hi John. Here's our basic problem. He is democratically elected (you missed out "twice" - check your script it is supposed to come before democratically). Which matters nothing when Labour party voters are dumping us en masse.
Jezbollah wouldn't know political strategy if it ripped up the marrows in his allotment. I am sick of knocking doors where its marked L all the way across the sheet - solid Labour voters going back years - who are no longer voting for us because of Him. So yes, he can do one. Because He, not me, is the liability. He is the one ensuring that we stay in permanent opposition
As for the Blair reference, I say this: Tough on Corbyn, Tough on the Causes of Corbyn. My now former branch chair who set up the "Labour Gentiles Forum" in response to being "suppressed" by "right wing Jewish zealots" has quit before he was expelled as is now openly supporting the Brexit Party. Not that we have lost anything as he openly refused to vote Labour in the Euros having openly refused to campaign in the locals despite him being a candidate. He and his Corbyn worshipping tossers had of course agreed with you that I - not they - was the problem. No. No. No.

You would prefer a Labour Party that continued the Thatcher Blair Concensus Liz 4% Kendall your choice i seem to remember
Hence you liking Swinson who voted with the Tory whip more than almost any Tory.

Richard Nabavi has encapsulated the views of many moderate Tories in this piece. After almost 20 years of membership and some years as a member of my local party executive, I too have resigned.

The choice is a combination of a gesture towards the no dealers, and Bush picking Dan Quayle.
Though 'natural' in its archaic sense is apt.

The picture is a fist pump between two anti EU on their success so far.
The actual picture behind is a Canaletto?
If zero of her cabinet were left after the reshuffle it wouldn't have been the worst thing.
that isn't even close to what we have seen so far today
(and the list of those leaving government will grow as we move into the junior ranks)
