THE BREXIT FALLOUT CONTINUES - THREAD NINE

The Tories have settled their scores and May is now PM.
Is it May's Day or May Day for the people?

After careful consideration I thought the best way to sum up the Labour Contest was in one simple picture. May Day, might also be appropriate here too.

----------------

Things are moving fast, so hold on tight for the Brexit Ride

Sense of humour compulsory. No experience necessary though

Still no mention of...IDS Shock

'Where shall we send him first?'

The South Pole.

squoosh · 13/07/2016 21:37

Where he can have a bit of banter with some emperor penguins.

squoosh · 13/07/2016 21:38

I'd forgotten about 'Angela Leadsom fan' IDS!

QueenLaBeefah · 13/07/2016 21:38

Seriously hope IDS is no where to be seen. He is dreadful.

Showmethewaytogohome · 13/07/2016 21:39

'Where shall we send him first?'

Obiwan thanks for that imagery. Now I have to stay up for another hour just so I can close my eyes to sleep!! I used to like trifle too.

TheBathroomSink · 13/07/2016 21:42

IDS is fucked, I don't think there's any great desire from anyone other than Loathsome to give him a job, is there?

How long do you think he'll last?

I can cope with Johnson so long as no IDS or Loathsome.

Is Boris Johnson meant to think about it overnight and actually turn it down? Hence the hanging around for Justine Greening and the others who haven't been allocated jobs yet.

squoosh · 13/07/2016 21:48

I'm not sure how it works. do you think they turn up and are given a gold envelope? Or is Dermot O'Leary there to announce it X Factor stylee?

Seven reasons in the past, if May had been his boss at the time, she could have sacked him.

Its grow up or you're permanently ended time.

He gets £250 grand a year for his column at the telegraph - will he have to leave it?

LineyReborn · 13/07/2016 21:52

I guess her motivation is either to rehabilitate him or to somehow contain him.

Or to fatally wound him.

squoosh · 13/07/2016 21:52

Surely he'll have to give up the column gig?

SwedishEdith · 13/07/2016 21:53

He gets £250 grand a year for his column at the telegraph - will he have to leave it?

I'll do it!

LineyReborn · 13/07/2016 21:53

I'd have thought he can't write that particular column any more?

TheBathroomSink · 13/07/2016 21:54

I'm hoping for the fatal wound...
maybe while he's on a trip to the rainforest or something.

Dunno about DT column. May struggle for time to do it, or may be a distraction his handlers can dangle in front of him?

Anyone got a Labour Party response yet?

ObiWanCannelloni · 13/07/2016 21:56

So - is the etiquette that they're offered job in advance (so they know which prices they have to move round the board) and the trip up to number 10 is a formality? I'm just trying to work out if there is a chance Johnson turns it down, once it sinks in it's not a cushy number with half days work a week for quarter of a mill? Or does his raging ambition mean he can't help himself wanting the job title?

RedToothBrush · 13/07/2016 21:56

Liney, that has to be the plan doesn't it? Doesn't it?

She honestly can't have done it thinking he was the perfect man for the job. Can she?

has a little cry in the corner in case that is the reality

No one turns down the post of Foreign Secretary.

Helmetbymidnight · 13/07/2016 21:58

I think they say yes or no on the spot...
(Or sneak out to think about it)
Boris cant back out of it now.
