Fuck off, Cameron.

You were a useless, incompetent Prime Minister, but now you're back in government as Foreign Secretary you're useless, incompetent AND dangerous.

We don't need more bombing of other countries, in support of America.

The Tories should concentrate on getting millions of British people out of poverty and provide us with decent homes.

BBC : Laura Kuenssberg warns PM of Tory revolt after Javid shock Cabinet exit | UK |

Laura Kuenssberg told BBC viewers a Tory insider had described the now former Chancellor's decision to resign "insane" as she discussed Sajid Javid's move. The BBC editor warned the Tory MP who will now sit on the backbenches of Westminster could become a "thorn in the Prime Minister's side" going forward. She said: “This turn of events will really be quite shocking to some people. One Tory insider just texted me a couple of moments ago saying ‘this is insane’. “Sajid Javid was stability in the Government and we’ll only know in the weeks and months to come whether Rishi Sunak is able to step up to the plate. “He’s somebody that is very respected in Westminster but it’s a huge step up for him. “And also, what kind of role will Sajid Javid play on the backbenches? “Will he become, as people often do, a thorn in the Prime Minister’s side? Of course, with a parliamentary majority the size of Boris Johnson’s it’s not really the case that he’s in any way under threat.

Let’s wait and see what Sajid Javid decides to do on the backbenches. “Remember he wanted to be Prime Minister and ran for the leadership as well? So this is really setting the cat among the pigeons. “It may well be the start of something rather than the end.” Boris Johnson will appoint Rishi Sunak as his new finance minister on Thursday, Sky reported following the surprise resignation of Sajid Javid during a ministerial reshuffle. The Prime Minister had been expected to keep Mr Javid in post and news of his resignation shocked Westminster. Allies of the former chancellor said the Prime Minister had ordered him to fire all of his senior aides if he wanted to remain at the Treasury - something Mr Javid refused to do. The bombshell came after long-standing rumours of tensions between the ex-chancellor and Mr Johnson's closest aide Dominic Cummings. In August he had fired Mr Javid's aide Sonia Khan and it appears Number 10 wanted to go further in keeping a closer eye on the chancellor. Mr Javid said that "no self-respecting minister" could accept the condition being imposed. "He has turned down the job of Chancellor of the Exchequer," a source close to Mr Javid said. "The Prime Minister said he had to fire all his special advisers and replace them with Number 10 special advisers to make it one team.

Mr Javid had walked smiling into Number 10 in a sign that he expected to remain in place ahead of the March 11 Budget. His departure came after Julian Smith was unceremoniously dumped as Northern Ireland Secretary, Andrea Leadsom was sacked as Business Secretary and Theresa Villiers lost her job as Environment Secretary. Other senior ministers axed by Boris Johnson included Geoffrey Cox from his post as Attorney General and Esther McVey as housing minister. Source link Read the full article

BBC News: Laura Kuenssberg laughs loudly as BBC host mocks Remainers | UK | News

The Prime Minister’s Brexit deal was approved by the House of Commons on Thursday, with MPs voting 330 to 231 in favour of moving the bill to the upper house. Discussing the historic moment on Brexitcast, BBC's Adam Fleming, Katya Adler, Laura Kuenssberg and Chris Mason took the opportunity to mock Remainer MPs who lost the Brexit battle against Boris Johnson. Brussels correspondent Mr Fleming began by saying: “Let’s talk about a thing from the past: Remainers! And this is a bit linked to the contest for the Labour leadership as well because their Brexit position has come up in all the interviews with all the contenders.“What’s happening with the people who were on the other side of the argument?”Laura Kuenssberg burst out laughing and Europe editor Katya Adler said: “Well, there were some faces being pulled as the Withdrawal Agreement Bill (WAB) was passed with flying figures…”Ms Kuenssberg echoed: “Labour voted against it, all the leadership candidates voted against the Brexit bill.“But the air has just gone out of the argument. As a political argument the question of stay or go has gone. That does not mean for one second that there won’t be huge anguish about what’s next. It doesn’t also for one second that plenty of people might feel really still very, very upset about the fact it’s going to happen. And the 31st of January, the departure day, is going to be a day for massively mixed feelings around the country.“But in terms of the hue and cry in Westminster, it’s gone.”READ MORE: BBC's Katya Adler reveals EU still believes to 'hold cards' on tradeAnd Whitehall correspondent Chris Mason added: “Even the megaphone-wielding flag-waving protesters are now acknowledging that they might not be here every day anymore!”The WAB will now be debated there next week in the next crucial stage as Mr Johnson vows to meet his general election pledge to British voters to “get Brexit done” by January 31.But Mr Johnson’s problems may lie further away from the UK now, with several EU bureaucrats - including Guy Verhofstadt - who is set to launch one last desperate bid to wreck Brexit with a demand for Brussels to leverage market access in order to maintain freedom of movement between the UK and EU.Several EU leaders - including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen - have warned Mr Johnson a full trade deal cannot be completed by his intended target of December 2020 unless Brexit is delayed again.“Without a level playing field on environment, labour and state aid, you cannot have the highest quality access to the world’s largest single market.“The more divergence there is, the more distant the partnership will be.”Ms von der Leyen added the EU may have to “prioritise” different aspects of a deal.She said: “Without an extension of transition period beyond 2020 you cannot expect to agree on every single aspect of our partnership.“We will have to prioritise.” Source link Read the full article
