It worked out ok for Zelensky and Ukraine!!! (For those who don't follow my train of thought, PE was an actor who played a comedic Prime Minister in 'Yes Prime Minister' ) But the odds are probably a little long !!! Last edited by MarkS; 24th May 2022 at 19:34.. Reason: Zelensky |

I think Truss Liz. She's a bit of a comedian, although probably doesn't realise it.

Quote from the beeb:
Insiders believe that, while it will be "damning for the civil service", Gray will not deliver a killer blow to the PM. A source familiar with the report believed Gray's assessment would be that there were trails of evidence to suggest he was badly advised, and not necessarily aware of what events he was stumbling into. But if the report reveals what one senior Conservative describes as "industrial" rule-breaking at the heart of government, it will be difficult for Mr Johnson to plead ignorance. Those who are close to the Sue Gray inquiry team believe that most of her ire will be directed at the civil service, or parts of it. So nothing to see here, move along. |

A pure guess but...
So far as the so-called ‘civil’ service is concerned there will be much criticism with no direct blame attached. Absolutely zero observable action will be taken and precisely no heads will roll. The machine is concerned only with itself and the impervious screen carefully built around it is self protective to the extreme. The colour of the prevailing party has no influence of any kind other than causing the ‘service’ to close ranks to protect its own internal interests. Lilliput comes to mind.

Agreed Gary. But, to paraphrase a certain W. Churchill in 1940 never before have so many been so badly served by so few...

I see BoJo has rewritten the ministerial code presumably so he can get off when he is found to have broken it. Trump would be proud of him!
