Cabinet drama ....breaking news! Boris’s reshuffle goes awry when Chancellor Jajid Javid resigns when told he could keep his job only if he sacked all his advisers! Remember that Dominic Cummings fired one of Javid’s key advisers in the first days of Boris becoming PM. Political analysts are interpreting this as Boris trying to completely control the Treasury and tie the Chancellor's hands. This is extraordinary only four weeks before the Budget. Watch this space....!
All double dutch to me. But then I lost interest when I was effectively blackballed for refusing to join Young Conservative's piss up instead preferring to watch Douglas Hume's life story on the BBC TV.
As at midnight (Europe time) the pound is worth 1€ 20.39cts.
Obviously the money markets are optimistic that fiscal discipline will be relaxed.
This hope is augmented by the fact that Mark "Carnage" is coming to the end of his contract at the Bank of England.
I don’t follow the money markets...doesn’t sound like a good thing in the long run to have No 10 in an unchallengeable position.
@Marionville There are plus and minus sides to it. However, if you take the value of the Pound against the Euro over the past 20 years and average it, the figures hover around the 1.20 mark.
Seems the Fascist are winning at any cost everywhere now!!!
Sadly.
@of-the-mountain: Tis but a skirmish, not even a battle, let alone the war. Time will tell.
Rishi Sunak...appointed as new Chancellor! Yes..who’s he indeed...! MP for Richmond in Yorkshire, formerly the seat of William Hague. He’s been Chief Secretary to the Treasury since Javid became Chancellor. It’s widely seen as Number 10 annexing Number 11.
He appears to be even further to the right than his predecessor. A believer if free market capitalism
@Moravian He looks at Boris with such admiring eyes. A Yman indeed.

Posted by MattHardyA Boris promise is just a lie that hasn't happened yet. Whatever Sue Grey says, no way is Boris going to admit he lied and resign.

Posted by webspider555I’m beginning to wonder whether our government is just incompetent or are all these things happening just to get us in a rage arguing amongst ourselves.
