Politics - The Non-Brexit Thread.

^ But of course his cult members attack BBC workers who also earn money elsewhere. One rule for Boris and another for people and groups he does not like.

I see that because the Government won't allow any Ministers on BBC Radio 4's Today programme Health Secretary Matt Hancock did not appear to talk about Coronavirus this morning. Health of the nation seems to be secondary to petty vendettas with this Government.

The resignation speech of The Home Office Permanent Secretary, Sir Philip Ruttnam is gripping viewing. Offered a pay off to go quietly but refused and resigned instead and promising to sue for constructive dismissal.

Is thr Government in meltdown already?????

No this is just a Government v Civil Service arguement.
For some reason the Government seem to think that they run the country

They obviously didn't watch Yes Prime Minister

Sir Humphrey Appleby would be apoplectic

Don't think him and Boris would get on very well

Can imagine the same conversation going on between sir Humphrey and Boris when he's been reading the papers!!

Jim Hacker would be horrified!!!

BORIS JOHNSON announces he is engaged, and they are expecting a baby. Gods know how many sprogs he has fathered before this one

This is Trupism 101

Still congratulations to the PM, I only as that when you hold your newborn child for the first time that you remember that Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is unable to do just that because your actions have left her to rot in an Iranian jail with suspected Coronavirus
