compo 5,952 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Looks like Boris is wielding the axe at the cabinet reshuffle this morning 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,687 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Who knows whether the new members of the cabinet will be any better than those who've been sacked but it certainly makes a change to see a PM who's able to dictate to his cabinet instead of being in thrall to them. Weak leadership has been a depressing reality of the Brown/Cameron/May era and it seems Boris now means to run things from the centre for a spell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,009 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Not only should they all sing from the same hymn sheet but they should all believe the words of the hymns - more or less. I’m just concerned that an unelected person such as Cummings or Campbell in a different rôle in the past, have too much influence. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chief advisor shouldn't be deciding what is done but advising on how to do it. It's the old leader-manager thing ...... managers strive to do things right and leaders strive to do the right things. Hopefully they won't confuse these two quite different roles. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old “evil genius hiding behind the buffoon” narrative. Let’s hope the leftists and nationalists in this country actually believe that shite. They’ve precious little else to believe in. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the General Election I don't think Johnston got a resounding victory in Scotland and neither do a majority in the UK support him, such is the first past the post system. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
