Cabinet Reshuffle Due Tomorrow !

[mikey4444]

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

[Peter Pedant]

You ( mrs May that is ! ) need MPs who can run ministries

They have after all been elected as sheep who will obediently troop into lobbies - so it is one lot of no-hopers replacing another

sir-ships all round !

I can get you better references, but wanted to respond quickly.

And I guess that anyone who wants to deny a fact tends to discredit the sources. There are loads more if you care to look for them.

You might also like to see Naom Chomsky's views:
Essentially if you want to carry through an unopular privatisation policy, then you might seek de-fund it until it is on its knees, then offer a solution based on privatisation that you claim will solve the problem.

If you want to get an immediate GP appointment, you can do it, for a price.

This is not just the beginning of privatisation - it is close to the end point. \

Chris Grayling will be out on his ear. If he isn’t it’s pretty disgraceful: the only possible thing they could save him would be a ridiculous belief that sacking him as one of the Brexit ‘gang of six’ would upset the hard line Brexiters. But he has a woeful record at transport and justice

[ichkeria]

It wouldn’t surprise me if Liam Fox got shunted out. Ideally she needs to replace both him and Davis: if I was her I’d bring in Gove plus one to replace them, but I’m not her so she won’t.

Perhaps private companies wil initially bid a low price, but the history of these things has been the initial low price is too low, so once they have got the contract, they go to teir mates at Conservative Paerty HQ and ask for a bail-out.

Look at the recent disaster over the Government’s handling of the East Coast rail franchise, but that is only one example.

Time and time again private companies bid too low, then get a government bail out.

So the tax payer is hit by worse services and higher taxes. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's happening now.

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

Think May should call another general election right now,
whilst she still has another foot to shoot at.

[Zacs-Master]

Where’s Mikey gone?

[emmie]

listening to the Archers perhaps, or is that on later....

[douglas9401]

I believe that this time of Sunday morn is set aside for cogitation on the bigger stories of the weeks past and to come, culminating in a raft of best guesses.

He'll be back presently.

[jno]

brunch at the Ritz, probably. Nobody has to stand in attendance on their own threads 24/7.

[Zacs-Master]

True jno. Strange he disappeared just as the thread started to take off. ;-)

[emmie]

perhaps like some on here, his computer has gone down...

[mikey4444]

Kidas....well researched !

[mikey4444]

Yes, I'm back....visiting my brother in Hospital ...is that OK with you Zacs ?

[emmie]

mikey
how is your brother? we missed you, i suggested as you had been gone a while your computer had crashed..

[mikey4444]

Its OK Emmie....he is getting better, little by little.

But this is not the first time I have been asked where I have gone. As assiduous an AB Correspondent as I try to be, even I can't be on here 24 hours a day. I just wished some people would realise that ( not you ! )

[Jackdaw33]

Liam Fox is safe. May has said the ban on Fox hunting will not be lifted yet.

[Gromit]

Greening will be toast.

Johnson will go from the Foreign Office where he is a disaster, and moved to the Department for stopping Brexit, where he will be a great success.

Hammond is a terrible Chancellor, but very loyal to May, which just might save his job.

[Zacs-Master]

Fine by me, Mikey. Care to address the multiple questions you’ve been asked, possibly stating with who will replace him?

[mikey4444]

I don't like to intrude on private grief Zacs, but that unenviable task will be Mrs Mays' choice, just like it was her choice whether to appoint Fallon , Patel and Green.
