First Metropolitan elite globalist gone, there will be quinoa all up the walls tonight :-)

So the plans of Agent Cummings are kicking in , bet Putin is pleased

A thousand-mile march begins with the first step (Chairman Mao).

I had to look up quinoa as I'd never heard of it. Is it similar to Tibetan peace porridge?

[Mamyalynne]

You'd need to ask those who keep rabbiting on about it Jack.

It has to start somewhere. Only thing that perturbs me somewhat is that his likely replacement (David Frost) is doing a very good job regarding the Brexit negotiations so far as I can see. Still, it won't happen until September, so maybe the fireworks will be over. Or maybe not.

[Jackdaw33]

Not THE David Frost, unless he has risen from the dead.

[jim360]

Sure lol

[ichkeria]

Hmmm.

Nice one from the BBC commentator earlier tho:
“You can see a fair distance from the stand at St James’s Park: probably as far as Barnard Castle if your eyesight’s good enough”. That’ll be him up against the wall and another few quid off the licence fee.

Big swamp. No doubt there be a few sacrificial goat to appease the lower orders.

Look on the bright side. It's reassuring to know that someone other than Boris is running the country.

Thank you for highlighting another example of the BBC bias. Hopefully of the BBC from the public purse is next.

"Look on the bright side. It's reassuring to know that someone other than Boris is running the country."

I presume you are having a dig at Mr Cummings? If so you do realise he is simply an adviser, no different to Campbell et al? Boris, the Government and Parliament still have the final say no matter what he or you thinks.

[youngmafbog]

JD, yes pretty much there. A favourite of the "right-on".

[Gromit]

If you are draining the Westminster swamp, perhaps they should start with the Cabinet Minister who despite owning 2 multi-Million pound homes, also rents a home in his constituency, with the taxpayers coughing up the £100,000 bill.

[naomi24]

Gromit, it would be good if you would provide links with your posts. Once again I've no idea what you're talking about.

Sorry that doesn’t work.
Ok

[ichkeria]

Sir Mark will be replaced by another permanent secretary.
That presumably was the deal for allowing the somewhat more controversial appointment of Frost to the NS role. So, to use your language, more a question of moving parts of “the swamp” around a bit

[Theland]

Sir Mark, only 55, stuffed with money and titles.
Wow!
What a lucky guy.
Rich and young enough to enjoy his wealth.

Anyway, well done Boris and Cummings.
The Civil Service can be a lead weight to progress.

When Tony Benn was Postmaster General in the Wilson government, he constantly complained how his efforts were sabotaged by the CS.

About time for reform and a night of the Long Knives.
