Boris Johnson as foreign secretary. The first volley fired against the EU negotiators. - The funny thing is: I saw it coming.

There will be war at the green table.

Or canibals' dinner, so to speak.

Friend phoned me and asked did you see her give her speech to which I said no, why I asked?

He said she looked like Death and he feels she is the Grim Reaper!

Gotta be a quandary for Boris Johnson. He's just been given a pay cut of over 50% (no more money from the Daily Telegraph) and a job where he will regularly see May in the job he desperately wanted, while in his own job he will likely spectacularly fail.

Something to ponder is that should Hillary win, the end result of all this may be that three of the G7 powers will be headed by women (and one by a Trudeau).

It seems Mrs May wants to punish those with jobs, who tried to gallantly chicken away after they "won"

Just of all Johnson for foreign secretary.. i wonder if the UK voters could be more concerned than the EU now

In short, remember that Scotland is still part of the UK and govern accordingly!

I quite liked this piece:

The SNP is expert at mining grievance from even the most innocuous act or statement. Theresa May could wallpaper Number 10 in tartan and change the national anthem to Ye Cannae Fling Pieces Oot A 20-Storey Flat and still the Nationalists would claim Scotland was being simultaneously ignored and victimised by Westminster.

Well, now Gideon and especially Gove now know how it feels to have a knife stuck in the back.

Gideon fate was tied in with Dave once he stepped down Gideon has no choice but to follow his master.

Gove was busy stabbing everyone else in the back he didn't see that he stabbed himself in the back.
