Cabinet Reshuffle Due Tomorrow !

[mikey4444]

My best guess is that Hammond will be gone as Chancellor.....anybody else got any predictions ?

[Zacs-Master]

Nicely dodged, Mikey.

[mikey4444]

I have never dodged a question in my life Zacs.

What difference does it make who is in what Cabinet post ?....its akin to moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic !

[ichkeria]

True Jackdaw: good news for Fox, bad news for the Hunt (could be correct actually)

[Jackdaw33]

The Titanic sank. There is as yet no indication that May's government is about to sink, especially with Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott being the alternative.

//Can someone please point me to the agenda to privatise the NHS please because I have not seen one. // Talks are being held in secret.

whiskeyron
neither have i seen any agenda that says the NHS will be privatised.

[mikey4444]

Emmie....Jeremy Hunt co-authored a policy pamphlet that called for the NHS to be replaced by an insurance system.

That was in 2005...he may have changed his mind since, of course.

[emmie]

that is 13 years ago, so he could well have.

[Zacs-Master]

Mikey, you’re self delusional and posses the political acumen of a door stop.

Never dodged a question. Holy Jaysus.

Pity the British public. We are now on our third consecutive weak Government.

Brown was bad, but at least his tenure was short.

Cameron was a PR spiv who just kept making the same mistake over and over again. Nearly everything he did resulted in an embarrassing U-turn.

Now we have May who is just terrible. She has very little talent to choose from, and what she’s got is the usual Conservatives at war with itself. Rather than being able to build, she is constantly fire-fighting to stop the whole show from collapsing. I fear the reshuffle will not solve any of her problems, and may make things worse (especially if Johnson takes the huff).

Gromit //Pity the British public. We are now on our third consecutive weak Government. //

And whose fault is that? If labour had a bit more about it they would force Theresa the Appeaser to get a grip, but they are useless at present so this is the result.

//If you have seen the US healthcare system, that is what is coming our way. It's horrendous. //

What a load of instantiated nonsense. It is because of you using the nhs as a political football that we are in the mess we are in.

[youngmafbog]

☆unsubstantiated.

[Gromit]

Ymb,
Admitted. We also have had weak oppositions at the same time as weak Governments.

Cameron, Miliband and Corbyn have played thir part in the tish show over the last decade.

With May doing such a bad job, Labour should be having a field day, but they ain’t. They are frightened to open their mouths for fear of being found out as equally useless.

Brilliant comment at 10.43, Douglas!

"Pity the British public. We are now on our third consecutive weak Government."

Then it's a good job Mr Clegg's referendum for the "Alternative Vote" voting system was soundly rejected by the wise UK electorate. This would have resulted in a continually "weak government" (as would any alternative to the First Past the Post system). It would have resulted in a perpetually "hung" Parliament and would probably rival Italy, where the average life expectancy of a government is a little over 12 months.

[youngmafbog]

Or Germany where they still can't form a Government.
