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.Tissue_Price said:
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!viewcode said:
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.Tissue_Price said:I am sure Boris does not intend to leave with No Deal.

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.0 -

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.

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.Cicero said:ON THREAD
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?
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.0 -

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.

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.
