Cabinet Reshuffle.

[Gromit]

Boris plans to sack Raab at the end of the week.
His popularity amongst Tory MPs has plummeted over his tardy show during the present Afghanistan crisis.

Liz Truss is lined up to replace him. The only fly in the ointment might be she is too popular. Her approval ratings are far far higher than Boris’ own, and he might be reluctant to promote his eventual successor.

Gavin Williamson for the chop too.

gully - if it's annoying you so much there's a very simple way of stopping it.

are Gully and Gromit the same person?

Raab was the Brexit secretary who didn't realise cross-Channel trade was important? The foreign scretary who didn't realise Afghanistan was collapsing? I suspect his greatest talent is for keeping a straight face while other people's jaws are hanging open.

some people even wanted Raab to be leader! Extraordinary...

"5)Dominic Raab is surprised by the internet"

"The big cheeses in the Conservative party like Liz Truss."

Considerable support we hear.

[Jackdaw33]

Can I dare suggest that Raab has had a rough deal here? He was stuffed good and proper by the US and couldn't really do any different.

[douglas9401]

Ah, bigger boys did it.

Infamy, infamy ...

[ichkeria]

They was weird; if you play it twice she morphs into Jeremy Corbyn.
Could this be Labour’s master plan?

I think it is his ignorance and indifference that are the problem jackdaw... nobody except a few deluded tories really believes that the UK could have altered the events in Afghanistan... Raab is still a mediocrity promoted far above his talents.

[Gromit]

Trump had agreed with the Taliban that all US forces would be gone by 1st May 2021.
So we should have at least had a plan to extract our assets by then.
It became apparent in mid August that there was no plan.
Biden never said he was going back on Trump’s deal so the Us withdrawal should not have take our foreign secretary by surprise if he was any way competent - which he isn’t.

[ToraToraTora]

Gromulliver has a nice ring to it doesn't it?

[douglas9401]

Did someone say 'forced rhubarb'?

[youngmafbog]

Boris is the one that needs removing. Total dictator.

[tomus42]

The most puzzling thing about this is why Liz Truss is popular.

[douglas9401]

KIller bod?
