 Going down with a Splash

Johnson is on his usual ’find someone else to blame’ mission. So, we have a cabinet reshuffle going on right now. They call it rearranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic. Ministers with unheard 0f portfolios are surfacing.  ‘Brexit Opportunities and Government Efficiency’ – what does that entail? That is Rees-Mogg’s new elevation for his staunch and blind support. Is Johnson admitting inefficiency within his cabinet?

             Strange day. I am still trying to get over the Johnson-Jimmy Saville outburst. We know his policy is all scorched earth (I hope his supporters know that.) He is brutally dishonest and almost a sociopath in his complete disregard of how the rest of the world is affected by his tantrums. And he is scavenging at the bottom of the barrel to last another day, another breath.

             My consolation is that the longer Johnson draws out his exfiltration, the greater the disappointment of the Tory voters. That can’t be all bad.

             I am eager to see the left and the right of Labour patch up, join hands and seek the common good. I am encouraged by the noises Momentum is making recently. I am, without doubt, a Corbynite. But Starmer will do – or Yvette Cooper, David Lammy,  Ashford, Ed Milliband …  We are rich in talent and commitment.
