Phillip Hammond

[lindapalmara]

Hammond, after trying to stop a no deal option is the same cabinet minister who introduced the the second reading of the Referendum bill in June 2015. The the Foreign secretary declared that the EU had changed almost beyond recognition from what ad been endorsed in 1975.

[dannyk13]

He is a weasel who has done all he can to stop Brexit happening.

[Old_Geezer]

Unsurprised. There was no EU until 1993.

[Khandro]

If you walk behind him down a corridor, if you listen carefully, you can hear the cheeks of him bum squeak.

[ichkeria]

And he voted three times for Brexit while others played for time by insisting unicorns exist.
His conscience is clear.

[gulliver1]

Think Hammond would make a very good PM.

[naomi24]

What a slimy little toad of a man he is.

[Gromit]

Slide-rule Phil was responsible for setting budgets and paying our EU membership. He more than anyone would have been in favour of freeing us of the shackles of our EU commitment. He was probably exited by the notion that his Government could do their own Trade Deals and he would get the credit.
But he never supported no deal, because everyone he talked to from the BoE, Economists, the IMF and OECD, said that ‘No Deal’ was Economic suicide.
So he did everything he could to make a deal with the EU. And 3 times Boris Johnson voted against that deal.
So when it became apparent that Johnson was not even trying to get a deal, many in his party, including people who had been Leavers, decided it was time to act.
Hammond and others have sacrificed their long careers, in order stop a no deal brexit (which nobody voted for) and try and save their country from breaking up (which is a distinct possibility) and from ruin.
When the lunatics are eventually evicted from No.10 he (and the others) should be rewarded with a Peerage for the service and sacrifice they had made for their country.

Ha ha ha. You're a caution, gromit.

[Spicerack]

Anyway. Hammond is an inveterate liar and always has been.
Claimed WE had 140,000 'good' rebels fighting Assad when he was FS.

// in order stop a no deal brexit (which nobody voted for)//

Repeat something enough it becomes true eh Gromit?

Hammond is a slimeball, if he shakes your hand check your rings and watch.

The sooner this liberal is deselected the better.

[jim360]

I'd have thought you'd have had better luck defending the reputation, and bemoaning the deselection of, Ken Clarke. A Tory Stalwart since the 60s, an MP since 1970, minister in one role or another for all 18 years between 1979 and 1997, probably one of the most successful and influential Chancellors since Lloyd George, and for a good period since then everybody's favourite Conservative. And he's just been booted out.

[ichkeria]

Rory Stewart: from leadership candidate to outcast in a matter of weeks: must be a record of sorts.

[Jackdaw33]

As former senior cabinet ministers Clarke and Hammond could expect a peerage on leaving the Commons but they won't get one; Boris will see to that.

[Gromit]

Ymb,
No body talked about a No Deal in 2016. They all said it would be the easiest thing in the world to get a Good Deal.

Jim, has anybody been chucked out yet.I understood Boris was waiting to see how they vote today and I have seen Dominic Grieve sat in the commons today.

[ichkeria]

They have all lost the Tory whip.
Not been chucked out of the Commons. Johnson’s powers don’t extend quite that far

[Khandro]

re. Kenneth Clark "Clarke was named Father of the House as the longest serving member of the House of Commons"

That can also be interpreted as - 'never done a hand's turn in his life'. Podgy & arrogant, with his hush puppies & cheroots, I'm delighted he's got the sack.

[Gromit]

// has anybody been chucked out yet //

They cannot be chucked out of the Commons because they are elected MPs. But they are chucked out of the Conservative Party as of last night. All 21 were told by phone that they are no longer in the Parliamentary Conservative group, and they are barred from contesting the next election as Conservative candidates.

[THECORBYLOON]

Some of those who lost the whip are sitting on the Government benches still. Mrs May was sitting between two of the.

[ichkeria]

Lol Ken Clarke is still Father of the House. He hasn’t been ”sacked” from any post.
As Gromit posted earlier Andrea Leadsom briefed that the 21 would be given another day to repent their sins: then was overtaken by events.
I suspect tho that Dominic Cummings will not last much longer. He really is hated even by many of Johnson’s supporters and his head might be the price of their continued support
