Over paid and completely useless anyway so no loss there either way

still getting paid for it? :)

Johnson will never agree with the European Union. And neither side will retreat. They would lose credibility. Johnson wants early elections to rule himself and to have more power. It will be interesting what happens when the departure date approaches.

This is getting extremely seriously. September is the deadline to unshackling Britain's officials from the EU meetings. Is prime minister B. Johnson's govt born out of necessity or just a deja vu showpiece? This is a bad voyage that both the UK and the EU would live to regret.

It's no wonder most of the cabinet look like they could all hit the gym and drop the chips for a month to end up looking slightly less obese.

more good news thanks

Are these the same officials warning of the chaos that NoDealBrexit will bring? Maybe someone in Govt should listen to them.

🤣
