Cindersdad, the Mogg supports Johnson, as does Gove, obviously wanting positions in his cabinet!

Should I not believe this, then?

First they came for the Poles...
Then they came for the Japanese and threatened to split them up from their children....
Then they came for you....

Brexit is hardly burning, a fair way to go yet in negotiating.
Something as complex as this is going to take time.
Don't believe all you read in the Papers.

You might get the MOGG instead !!! Let's see what TM says in Florence.

Wondering when they can get rid of them all.

So Fox, Johnson, Davis and May are in a Plantagenet type of power struggle, whilst a sceptical and cheesed off public look on.

Tory bashing ?

And of course, there is Boris's problem.

We are going to lose the car industry as well. More important than a few advisers.

Lost!

So Davis has PST a permanent secretary, special advisor and two ministers in a matter of months.

There is huge tension between May and Johnson, May and Davis, and Fox has difficulty in justifying his existence.

All this power struggle and fiddling carrying on whilst Brexit burns and the country is left to run itself.
