If you have no core beliefs then it's much easier to jettison ideas once they have become an encumbrance.briantrumpet said:kingstongraham said:
How can there be a purge of brexiteers when up to now, loyalty to Brexit has been the main qualification? Genuinely confused.
Or is this softer edge only going to be among the expensively hired staff not the ministers?
Perish the thought, but maybe Boris is more keen on clinging to his own political position than any particular political policy...1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

I think the problem is that they are ambivalent to the needs of business. I think this is a symptom of their faith in the ability of the State to drive the economy and borrow unlimited amounts of money.veronese68 said:

Presumably some idiots still believe that twaddle. The pragmatic solution, which they may have realised too late, was to have some sort of compromise and maybe negotiate in good faith.
ie you worry a lot less about the car industry if you think the Govt will have made us world leading AI and green tech industries.0 -
Which still requires us to believe that Johnson and Cummings have a plan. The past year has shown zero evidence of a plan.rick_chasey said:
The other point is that if you want to achieve all the big changes that you have written about in your blogs, you might need to stick at it for more than a year.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Also where do the party MPs fit in to that theory because they seem to believe he's gone for good too.rjsterry said:

I think Cummings appears to be more in it for himself.
There's also talk that Gove is the slimy one behind a lot of it0 -

It's not a good record however.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Loved the quote by David Davis (obv has a huge axe to grind, but whatever) which basically said he could have just left via one of two other back entrances with his coffee mug in his backpack, rather than putting it in a box and marching out the front !Jezyboy said:

As an alternative theory he knows as much about retargeting on social media as the average plumber which gave him godlike status amongst the fvckw1t dinosaurs who populate politics. When he dragged his elite team into solving real world problems they spectacularly crashed and burned. For 9 months they said algorithms a lot to throw the idiots off the scent which worked fine until one said that Carrie had a fat bum and the rest is history0 -
Apparently it was that she looks like a squirrel.0

Just hope he's gone for good, but not entirely optimistic“You may think that; I couldn’t possibly comment!”

Doubt it, theatrical flounce notwithstanding. Devious psycho barsteward will get behind and start pulling the strings elsewhere. Dodgy Russian funds for Niggly Farridge to turn his latest self promoting fan club into something more significant, to the detriment of wider UK society of course?0

I think his ability to do well in elections shouldn't be overlooked. But the rest of his achievements are a bit, well, meh.

Not sure where the gaslighting was. His blogs touch on lots of interesting subjects but he comes across as someone who thinks he 'knows' about AI or gene editing or whatever after reading a couple of articles in New Scientist or watching something on YouTube. For all the ideas he doesn't seem prepared to put in the effort to really understand a subject or use it to achieve anything. He's always been prone to theatrics. Thumbing his nose at Parliament when he was called before the Select Committee; the carefully selected scruffy clothes because he's 'such an outsider'; the ludicrous Rose Garden press conference. He's just a lazy show-off with inflated ideas of his own abilities, so you can see why he felt drawn to Johnson.rick_chasey said:

Other than being a tree hugger what do we know about Carrie?
An extra £16bn on defence in our current circumstances seems insane but is it driven by a love of defence or is she a taps full on devil may care sort of a girl.0 -

Fuck me. I joked a couple of weeks ago about how policy decisions were not incidentally benefiting donors through contract allocation but actually being made specifically to do so.
It seems I may have been correct.0 -

Will be interesting if it goes towards cyber defence. That's arguably where it should be going.0 -
