Westministenders: A New Approach? No chance.

[RedToothBrush]

Next week we will have a new PM. He will be called Boris Johnson unless something very odd has happened.

His first 72 hours will be 'interesting' especially if today's events are anything to go by.

His Cabinet is sure to be a horror show. It was noticable who abstained today - they don't think they will be in a Johnson Cabinet and clearly don't want to be.

To move forward Johnson must be able to survive a rebellion and a Queen's speech before now and 31st October.

And be able to unit his party in order to find a way forward.

And whilst parliament has voted to block proroguing parliament, it could still be dissolved if there is a vote of no confidence.

And what happens if Johnson loses a vote? Will he manage to become PM? Will there be a GE.

All the signs are that next week is going to be a hell of a ride.

Enjoy your weekend.

I can’t stand all the gaffing around electing new Tory’s leaders and having recesses when the country is in the middle of a huge crisis. Why are we all so powerless to stop the disaster?

"We would have European neighbours who will have deliberately chosen to make us poorer" says Jeremy Hunt of a no deal Brexit.

Remember three years ago when the European Union kicked us out?

No, me neither.

S'OK ignore my question. Checked the local FB group and it has predicably kicked off about our MP's vote today! as happens every time he votes!

Sootie cat. A black panther wot has been tumbledried too hot and shrunk. Not a Brexit fan.

My DF is called Hubert. He's neither scuttly nor a hedgehog!

My frog (toad?) would love your fern!

From BCF: Reference unjamming trucks.
{That link also has maybe the most sensible idea so far - comes from the EU side, of course:}

This sounds like the EU version of 'don't call us, we'll call you'.

You need to calm down chuk, you are putting more effort into this than the UK Brexit negotiators!

[LonelyTiredandLow]

While HoC sit around thinking how to stop something happening whilst doing nothing proactive about the first problem (not into football but it's how I imagine watching a side with no attack and loads of people in defence would go; eventually they'll trip over each other and let in a goal), I thought I'd watch C4's show on BoJo the Clown. Largely in his own words... which means it won't make any sense and won't have any point. I'll keep my dictionary handy .

@LASH38 wrt your post from the previous thread.
I feel the same way you do. I have a Green Card permitting me to live and work in the US and although being white provides a good deal of a buffer, I wonder if the day will come when I will be forced to apply for citizenship or to prove my worthiness to live here. My GC comes up for renewal next year.

An Canadian elk to mark my place

Oh and a random picture of a pond in Portugal which my DS once fell into.

[Peregrina]

Been out all day. I know I've missed some votes, which I think went the 'right' way, and that Hunt slipped up and didn't vote.

[Flooopers]

That elk is just gorgeous. What a sweet face he has.

I have no animal photo of my own but here's a gif of a raccoon playing the electric harp/water sprinkler.
