Johnson’s Government

crystaltipps, Johnson will have to go for an election, because he won't get Parliament to accept No Deal. The numbers just don't add up. That's why he's brought in Dominic Cummings as a strategy consultant.

Callistemon, I assume you know what GM crops actually are. How does eating a GM crop turn whatever has eaten it GM? It's not like some kind of virus.

Of course we are, maddy. And so will you be when Brexit goes belly up.

Until then, just keep your fingers in your ears and shout 'la la la'.

I thought leader of the house was voted in by parliament - it looks as though I have got this wrong.

Won't Jacob just love throwing his weight around! When he realised he was up for this the first thing he said was how he had always supported Boris, as though he was just getting his reward.

The remainers are cross.

cramming the cabinet full of people he knows will make him look more competent than he actually is,

Nice summary of the new cabinet postings; courtesy of twitter

Start
Prime Minister : the one who lied about everything

Chancellor : the one whose immigration policy would exclude his dad

Foreign : the one who hadn’t realised we are surrounded by water

Home : the one who had to resign for abusing her power

Defence : the one who was sacked for leaking state secrets

Health : the one who burnt what principles they had for the job

DWP : the other one who burnt what principles they had for the job

Brexit : the one who failed in the job last time

Environment : the one who hates the environment but loves fracking

Special Adviser: the one found guilty of contempt of Parliament and of cheating in the referendum

End

What fun

Despite all the flakey optimism from those who support Fromage one minute, then Johnson the next, he has alienated many in his own party by cramming the cabinet full of people he knows will make him look more competent than he actually is, and with a working majority of about 1, will be hard pushed to do much before a general election. He may go for an early election hoping for a win before the honeymoon popularly is over, but May tried that. Otherwise, he has three weeks to form a Brexit plan, get it through cabinet, get it past the Eu, get all the legislation drawn up, and put to a parliamentary vote for early October. Is that going to happen?

Of course that should have read The Telegraph ??????

Anyone seen the photoshop of Johnson in the Guardian?
??that is so bad.

It is probably time to consider Brexit proofing your share portfolio.

If Johnson’s plans come to fruition, and it is clear that the ERG are running the show, then undoubtedly sterling will get a real battering, and spare cash knocking around would be more usefully placed in non- sterling assets.

There is not a universal ban on GM food in the EU and in fact the situation is confusing. Spain is the main producer of GM crops - if GM maize is produced in the EU and fed to animals which are then used to produce food for humans, is that acceptable to you, then, growstuff?

oh FFS

Urmstongran, we don't just live in different countries- but truly on another planet altogether for sure.

JRM confirmed as Leader of the House

The world is a far better place than when we all woke up this morning.

In my opinion.

Bercow has nothing to fear from Rees-Mogg.

Mogg rumoured to become Leader of the House. Bercow may as well retire right now.
?

How does eating a GM crop make the pigs GM?

Day 6 wealth and money don't really upset me people who profit from situations that cause distress and hardship for the weakest and poorest do. And if you don't realise that there are vast amounts of money to be made speculating on a ruined economy and a falling pound you really don't know what goes on. I'm sure Boris and the ERG know exactly what they will be doing in the event of a no-deal Brexit and it won't benefit any of us.

You mention Trump in relation to GM food.
I would point out that the eu have a trade deal with Canada, Brazil and Argentina. All 3 in the top 10 of GM crop producing countries.
Have you ever eaten Spanish Salami? If yes, you have inadvertently eaten a GM crop as Spain grows GM maize for animal feed.

Of course I do, although maybe I shouldn’t,in some cases.

you don't really read posts, do you, lemon?

Would it be better from a left wing poster??
I haven’t got any chill pills to take, but a good glass of red
as you sit relaxing is good advice at any time, and after two glasses you won’t be worried about much at all.
There is far too much stressing out over politics going on.

'Oh Gawd!
Have a wine jura'... and this from a right wing poster..

comments about BP, chill pills, having a drink, one's country of birth or current residence- etc, etc, are not acceptable imho, wherever they come from . Thanks.

Sigh. Day6,the criticism of Johnson isn't just from the far left hypocrites as you so charmingly described them. Many current and previous Tory voters are also concerned. Brexit is not on party lines. Your view of political beliefs and allegiances is rather simplistic.

I see the EU will reject another of Johnson ideas of Singapore type free ports.

They are money laundering high risk.

I wonder how Johnson is going to pay for all his plans and spending demands coming his way? If this was Labour the right wing press would be screaming from the roof tops.
