It used to be every month something new. Then it was every week. Now it's every hour.

I've visions of having at least four burly men in white coats entering the front door of 10 Downing Street for when the time eventually comes...

I'm hoping to see in the morning that overnight Brenda has been to Downing Street with the Household Cavalry and frogmarched the fucker out.

1. He’s offered Zahawi a Blair-Brown deal for him to eventually take over as PM. It’s bullshit, of course - but got him back on board.
He has also probably promised the same deal to god knows how many others in cabinet.

Sacking Gove has probably cost the taxpayer around £18,000 in severance pay. Over the past 3 years how much taxpayers money has Johnson spaffed away in order to cling onto his job? Dozens of peerages, numerous inquiries, created non-jobs to reward compliant MPs, money thrown at Ukraine to grab a few favourable headlines etc.

The Mail are saying Gove's team didn't leak them the story that got him sacked. Even if he they did, haven't a load of others not done exactly the same thing? Are they getting sacked?

I don't think Cabinet jobs come with a notice period like normal jobs.
They're more like a temporary extra duty.
