[Britse politiek] #114: Lockdown and out

SteveBakerHW twitterde op zondag 24-05-2020 om 09:13:21 It is intolerable that Boris’ government is losing so much political capital. Three changes are immediately required:

1 - Govt needs competitive expert advice

2 - Govt must insist on high software engineering standards

3 - Dominic Cummings must go

Ik heb het idee dat de op Fok geprezen populisten/brexiteers/realisten niet echt lekker gaan, gedurende de coronacrisis. Wat jij?

So it is hardly surprising when mums and dads were going without the childcare provided by their parents – perhaps while they were isolating for 7 and 14 days with COVID19 symptoms – that Dominic was suiting himself with a long drive, presumably with stops, to get help during his illness. After all, he said we should vote for the original Withdrawal Agreement without reading it, on the basis Michael Gove articulated: we could change it later. But now with him in power, we are putting in a modest border in the Irish Sea.

JenniferMerode twitterde op zondag 24-05-2020 om 11:12:53 Incredible admission by leadingTory Brexiteer Steve Baker. They were told to vote for WA without reading it “on the basis Michael Gove articulated: we could change it later”.
So they voted for it. And now discover there will be an border in the Irish Sea. https://t.co/RoqfWGgvLM reageer retweet

JenniferMerode twitterde op zondag 24-05-2020 om 11:15:33 And Michael Gove is the man Boris Johnson appointed to be the UK representative on the Joint Committee — to implement the Irish sea border. This week the gov finally admitted that there will be checks at the border. reageer retweet

JenniferMerode twitterde op zondag 24-05-2020 om 11:19:09 It goes without saying such reports from a senior well-connected Brexiteer will fuel EU fears that the UK government can’t be trusted. And as the EU always has, they will press for strong legal guarantees/safeguards in the future relationship. reageer retweet

Dat je voor zoiets stemt zonder het te lezen, maakt je ook wel bijzonder incompetent. Wat doe je dan wel als volksvertegenwoordiger?

Beetje ridicuul wel komende van Baker die zelf in de regering zat op het Brexit ministerie en die claimt de overeenkomst niet gelezen te hebben?

Dat geeft de incompetentie van de brexiteers weer aardig weer.

Cummings bewijst eens te meer dat het een regel voor het gewone volk is en dat er hele andere regels gelden voor degenen die aan de macht zijn.

Wellicht bedoelt ie de versie van eind 2019, toen hij al weg was? Alsnog lachwekkend natuurlijk en een toonbeeld van z’n eigen domheid.

quote:

Voor het huis van topadviseur Dominic Cummings is een televisie geplaatst. Er wordt een oude video op afgespeeld waarin de Britse premier Johnson het volk oproept om thuis te blijven en vooral geen familieleden te bezoeken.

piersmorgan twitterde op zondag 24-05-2020 om 18:40:42 That was a f*cking disgrace.
The rules were crystal clear & people missed weddings, births, deaths & funerals to respect them. For @BorisJohnson to stand there & bare-faced lie to save his lying hypocrite aide is a slap in the face to everyone who obeyed the rules HE enforced. https://t.co/PAsu7fLUT3 reageer retweet

*Refuses to say if Dominic Cummings went on a 30 mile trip to a castle while in Durham

PaulBrandITV twitterde op zondag 24-05-2020 om 19:44:46 🚨 NEW: Major disquiet is now spreading to the cabinet. 🚨

One cabinet member says they were “stunned” by the PM’s statement, with government “bleeding credibility” to keep Cummings in a job.

This is now the most serious political crisis for Boris Johnson since the election. reageer retweet

Keir_Starmer twitterde op zondag 24-05-2020 om 19:05:16 This was a test of the Prime Minister and he has failed it.

It is an insult to sacrifices made by the British people that Boris Johnson has chosen to take no action against Dominic Cummings. reageer retweet

Keir_Starmer twitterde op zondag 24-05-2020 om 19:05:19 The public will be forgiven for thinking there is one rule for the Prime Minister’s closest adviser and another for the British people.

The Prime Minister’s actions have undermined confidence in his own public health message at this crucial time. reageer retweet
