Desperate switch and bait stuff there...stevef said:Before anyone announces that the Tories are bound to lose the next election because of a Cabinet reshuffle cock up, let us remember the occasion when Jeremy Corbyn took three weeks to reshuffle his cabinet, ran out of MPs who were willing to serve under him, and then appointed and sacked as a shadow cabinet minister an MP who was having cancer treatment without informing her either way. And then decided that the country was crying out for Diane Abbott as Home Secretary. When it comes to incompetence there is only one unchallenged master.......

That is the issue with her position. By turning down a pay rise - she is effecitvely saying that her colleagues should have their pay cut to the same level as her if she really wants equality. She claims it is up to 'Management' to sort it out - but how can they when she turns down the only mechanism they have to rectify the perceived problem. Levelling down is not going to be the way to improve quality or equality at the BBC. I suppose it would be doing More Better for Less - only not managing to do anything better.Cyclefree said:
What I don't understand is why she is saying that she doesn't want more money. What then is the point of all this hoo ha? If she is underpaid then she bloody well ought to get more money. Agreeing to stay underpaid and turning down a pay increase is simply prolonging the problem.brendan16 said:

The only way Corbyn doesn't fight another election is if he decides not to or ill health / death. The first is unlikely and given his health and lifestyle the second would be surprising. Very slim chance of him not leading Labour into the next election, also I'm not sure his appeal his based on a style or a coolness that will get stale. More a perceived authenticity, a lot of problems which his approach might solve and just a different approach in general, these things probably have some sticking power.MarqueeMark said:

Desperate switch and bait stuff there...stevef said:Before anyone announces that the Tories are bound to lose the next election because of a Cabinet reshuffle cock up, let us remember the occasion when Jeremy Corbyn took three weeks to reshuffle his cabinet, ran out of MPs who were willing to serve under him, and then appointed and sacked as a shadow cabinet minister an MP who was having cancer treatment without informing her either way. And then decided that the country was crying out for Diane Abbott as Home Secretary. When it comes to incompetence there is only one unchallenged master.......

This much-vaunted reshuffle is turning into an utter damp squib. So far we've just had a few lower-ranking nobodies moved about. What's going on? Are the big players just digging their heels in and Theresa's too timid to challenge them? I want a refund!-1

The man is consumed by revenge, which, to me, reveals a serious character flaw.
If you don't read the Standard, how can you assess its current output?

I'd expected the government to see quite an improvement after the December staging post was reached.
Brexit wasn't about Brexit, it was about registering discontent and a protest about life. It is entirely natural, therefore, that this supposedly life-changing measure, which hasn't changed anyone's life (for the better) should itself be a source of discontent.0 -

Even though I despise Boris, Fox is the most obnoxious person in politics. To coin a phrase the guy is an an utter c*nt. As someone of Sri Lankan Tamil heritage, he should be no-where near the levers of power...Stark_Dawning said:So DD hangs on too. There's got to be one high-profile sacking surely.

@PaulBrandITV: Source in Tory whips office tells me there is a clear attempt to put reshuffle at CCHQ on a par with cabinet reshuffle, to illustrate importance of reforming the Conservative Party. #reshuffle

She seems to have a perfectly reasonable stance to me. If the father killed the baby inside her, he'd no doubt be prosecuted. I don't see why there should be loopholes for the mother. The existing law is already quite liberal in practice for women wanting abortions.Scott_P said:0 -
Oh dear. Harris showing his ignorance. The Abwehr under Canaris spent almost the whole war undermining Hitler, helping Jews escape to neutral countries (Canaris appointed dozens of known Jewish officers and diplomats as spies to neutral countries where they promptly disappeared) and doing everything it could to make sure the Nazis lost. So much so that many of their members were eventually arrested and executed.Theuniondivvie said:Lolz.

That's a very fair point. I think she'll end with with a deal that will satisfy a majority of people - but I'll not be one of them. That isn't to say that I'll think the deal is bad within its own terms but just that it won't match up to my own pro-EU political beliefs very well.MarqueeMark said:

For your information, Liam Fox is an enemy of progress and an enemy of the Sri Lankan Tamil people. While David Cameron, William Hague and many other MPs from all political parties were trying to get a fair and just settlement by putting pressure on the then Sri Lankan Government of alleged war criminal Mahinda Rajapaksa, Liam Fox and a few other obnoxious Tory politicians (e.g. Lord Naseby) were cosying up to the said regime.
So, yes in my opinion and hopefully the opinion of many others, Liam Fox is the most obnoxious person in British politics.0 -
Actually that is a very sensible move, making housing a high-profile priority and increasing the minister's clout in implementing it, without creating a new bureaucracy which would overlap with the current DCLG.Scott_P said:0
