Carrie has left him? Has she?
The problem for any aspiring leader is this isn’t a great time to take on being PM unless they can find someone not tainted by breathing the same air as Johnson. On top of that the cost of living issue is going to get worse before it gets better. For anyone with genuine ambitions it’s probably in their interests to let Johnson fall rather than push him.so the ongoing drip of news/stories persists (and cunts like 2 posts above don't realise they're giving the story extra credit!)
carrie apparently organised a bday party in the flat for him.
Issue for me is at what point enough tories feel he is a liability or not. He's obviously full of himself, and thinks he can deflect the conversation. However if things stick, and he is viewed by many voters as untruthful (yeah, I know!) at that point tory mps are going to want to ditch him for their own sakes.
It's not just new civil servants that they are trying to screw over. My brother and his wife have been in MAFF/DefRa since the 80's and have seen their pensions attacked as well as other benefits.From the Guardian Live page.
Boris Johnson has written to civil servants explaining the government needs “fewer” of them and apologising for the “concern and uncertainty” caused by his plan to reduce staff numbers.
In a message sent to civil servants and seen by the PA news agency, the prime minister outlined how the civil service has grown by 20% since 2016 during “exceptional circumstances”, but that it needs to spend taxpayers’ money “judiciously” and will look to reduce costs in the face of high inflation.
The Times is reporting today that he has employed an extra 4 people to help look after him and his family at Chequers. David Cameron had let 4 people go during his time there as they couldn't be justified as costs were being cut.
In other news another MP has submitted a letter of no confidence and others including Andrea Loathsome have intimated that that they have no faith in him. I would imagine that Graham Brady is clearing his throat for an appearance in front of the cameras early next week.
Really? I didn't realiseHis wife doesn’t appear to be a much better person.
