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.

You ain't seen nothing yet .
Get prepared for post 1st jan 2021.

Perhaps he did; strange that he was about to promote one of them, though.

[emmie]

why what;s going to happen then.

[emmie]

perhaps he had second thoughts, none of us are privy to the inner workings of a couple's relationship, nor indeed unless through the press about the inner workings of Boris's plan. If he has one that is.

"it appears that Boris Johnson's fiancee Carrie Symonds is in a strong position of power"

Which would hardly be surprising given she is a political operator and very close to the PM.
Trouble is she's female, and that never goes down well

[10ClarionSt]

V&W are telling the PM what to do. And he's letting them do it rather than be a strong leader and demand another way.

Looks like Boris as found a plan to get out of question time for a couple of weeks, he don't want to explain anything about Cummings. :0) leave it to some other mug.

[roopower]

It amazes me that people still believe what they read in the papers and see on TV.

[teacake44]

Were do you get you're amazement from then roopower?

The monarch's consort always tends to have the ear of the monarch. But the monarch must have the sense to distinguish good advice from flawed opinion. Advisors can help with this. Same thing must be true for nations with a prime minister as actual head of state. We trust ours can stand firm on the nation principles at this time.

[teacake44]

Lets face it anything that's difficult to explain is left to either Rishi Sunak or Matt Hancock since the beginning of this year. We have Boris who is now isolating ( only isolating) but presenting himself on video looking like he had just rolled out of bed, I could understand this look when he did have covid but really can't find a reason for this present poor turnout. It don't really fill you with confidence does it.

[agchristie]

Well,Im more of an expert in knickers but anyway here goes...

"but presenting himself on video looking like he had just rolled out of bed"

So did Columbo but his mind was razor sharp! Oh and er,just one more thing (thats me not Columbo) I will believe Carrie does pull the strings when I hear that she is standing in for Boris at Wednesdays PMQ's ;-)

(are u ready now Keir uve got less than 2 days??)

[teacake44]

Like some say, why bark yourself when you can get a dog to do it.

[agchristie]

Well if Carrie is a dog in womans clothing lets hope she is a retriever then some gud may come out of Boris's dithering and delay to use his own fav mantra ;-)

[Arksided]

Plz Mr God... not another woman in charge

[agchristie]

Come on Arky! Girl Poweeeeerrrrrr rules ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

Mrs God

[Arksided]

oops of course my dear

[ichkeria]

“ But the monarch must have the sense to distinguish good advice from flawed opinion. Advisors can help with this”

Er um ...
It’s all advice. What a leader has to do is decide who he wants to guide him and what of the advice to take. No one else can make that call.
Johnson works listen to eg Cummings and Cain and agree with them. Then he’d be swayed back by his partner again. Now I’d say that’s a result. Others would disagree, but what I think a lot of people agree is: you need to be decisive. Just because you’re officially an advisor does not necessarily make your advice better then anyone else’s.

"Trouble is she's female, and that never goes down well"

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

She should not have any say in what goes on, there is a world of difference between a contracted and paid advisor and WAGs.

And we all know Johnson is ruled by his little head.

//IF// this is true then Johnson will have to go as he is compromised.
