I suppose being so near to the budget it was the most sensible appointment. The 'Kate Forbes' role At least Javid managed to locate his backbone at last.

Guest Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 43 minutes ago, Thane of Cawdor said: Genuinely surprised that Javid has resigned apparently over a matter of principle. Who suspected the man possessed such a thing? That's just a smokescreen, the real reason is that Cummings has told him in no uncertain terms that HE will be the one calling the shots and Javid would be expected to do as he's being told. Cummings wants to be running the entire Government HIS way and there's no place for any dissenters or free thinkers in this cabinet.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they start throwing cash at the north and maybe more up here it will buy a good few voters. Mind you, if they splurge too much it could crash the economy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Javid has been groomed by the American Enterprise Institute so I doubt he will be walking away from frontline politics. This could be a clash between traditional Thatcher/Reagan neoliberalism and the Cummings/Bannon right populism which has been hugely successful in Poland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that Thatcherism is a zombie ideology whereas the Bannon style economic nationalism is in the electoral ascendancy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Interesting times. Looks like the Buffoon is clearing the decks for a pie in the sky, magic money tree, super populist budget......the sort of thing which would make Trump blush. Johnson has massive majority, and he's not a man to let that go to waste. He wants to make statement, and HS2 and this nutcase bridge idea are only the tip of the iceberg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bridge is just a dead cat to bury broken promises on Brexit. Expect it to be wheeled out again when the fishermen get screwed over in the trade talks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
