The Government Totters: Will It Fall?

The Foreign Secretary is a disaster in his job, widely regarded as the worst since WWII and a danger to our national interests. Fallon has gone in a storm of sexual accusations. Damian Green is under investigation. Priti Patel  may not last the day. The Brexit negotiations are in crisis, not because of the EU, but because the Cabinet is rent with discord over the type of Brexit it wants. The Chancellor and the Prime Minister are said to be at daggers drawn and can only meet with officials present to keep their rows from getting out of hand. The NHS is now demanding that the red bus Brexit promise about more funding be honoured.

What is required is that the gropers, sex pests, hard Brexit ideologues and complete incompetents are fired and a new government formed, either in coalition or with cross party support, to oraganise and negotiate a sensible, workable and realistic Brexit which will not damage the national economic interest. For a Brexit which puts the economy first, the majority in the Commons and the Lords is overwhelming. Either that or cancel the whole Brexit folly. It is not an option to carry on as we are. What the situation and the country cries out for is leadership. Strong leadership. This was the central theme of May’s offer to voters in June.

Now is her time to show it.
