Liz Truss has resigned. Part 4: The Desolation of Boris

[sunnydaytoday0]

Continuation from last thread, for those of us following all the action on Monday.

And yes I'm a LOTR fan, so tried to continue the theme in the thread title 😉

Don't think she'll be very happy stuck there.

He's surely not keeping Coffey as Health Secretary?

Cabinet of all the talents

Oops typo there. should have been

Factions

Well the promised integrity lasted all of six hours. Braverman is an abomination.

If he doesn’t give Javid that job back we’ll know he’s completely lost the plot.

I wonder if he’s deliberately put Braverman in as a target. All the other parties will object, perhaps he’ll ‘reluctantly’ sack her in a few weeks (and send her to the back benches).

I'm not familiar with Gillian Keegan. Anyone know if she's one of the headbangers.

Coffey to Environment. Poor environment 😥

Doubtful though we can but hope.

Coffey gets Environment, food and Rural Affairs

That's not so good for the environment

The look on her face when she came out of no 10, she wasn’t at all happy.

I think Rishi’s herding cats - he’s really just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

This government will still implode I think, just more slowly than the previous one. I just hope they don’t take too many of us down with them.

General Election in the new year I think.

In a way, some of this continuity is smart. The reappointed will take the blame for any mess ups.

But Braverman, she is just awful. I suppose the threat of her being outside was just too great. But really, a very bad choice.

Excellent news at least that Badenoch takes on Women and Equalities in addition to her previous role.

I’ve been out at DC swimming lesson with no signal! I’ve tried to look but can’t see, do we know who is Foreign Secretary?

James Cleverley, as previously

Thanks, not sure how I missed that as it was earlier, or perhaps I’m just getting forgetful!

I couldn’t agree less. Last week she voted against buffer zones outside abortion clinics. She talks a good game but doesn’t put her money where her mouth is.

Chris Heaton-Harris stats on as N. Ireland Secretary.

BBC saying the main jobs left to fill are Ministers for Scotland, Wales and Transport.

And as I post that Alister Jack confirmed as staying in post as Secretary of State for Scotland.

To be fair they’re a bit short of Scottish MPs.

Thinking of crap environment appointments, Johnson made Theresa Villiers Environment secretary - worse than Coffey?

That doesn't matter as long as trans people get a bad deal.
