Whose In Charge Of The Uk Government. ??

[HansUrbancka]

From all the news items I've read in the press, it appears that Boris Johnson's fiancee Carrie Symonds is in a strong position of power.

Hans.

A single partner, trying to persuade you, is hardly the same thing as officially appointed individuals there specifically to advise, due to their past record of success.

a romantic partner tends to be someone whose judgment you already trust.

Are they?

[ichkeria]

Carrie Symonds is hardly just the “wee wife at home”.

“due to their past record of success.”

Er um again lol

[agchristie]

Are we sayin that Boris is resigned to a Spectator role? ;-))

“ May I remind you the Tories have had two female leaders both Prime ministers so that statement is garbage.”

They were as you say leaders and PMs. Not uppity advisers. In any case I’m not criticising the Tory party here, who aren’t the ones complaining I shouldn’t think.

God forbid not another Thatcher .

Mrs T was the best thing that could have happened to this country. I think some of you just hate women.

Two sayings: 'The Power Behind the Throne', and 'The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Rules the World'. History is littered with examples of consorts or dowagers who have been in effect the real ruler. Catherine de Medici is a shining example.

"I think some of you just hate women"

On the basis of disliking Mrs T? U generalise so much and is provocative in the extreme!!

[emmie]

well that;s just tough

Quite the opposite but then I've always been a realist. sob
