• So Truss is taking over the brief, if she wants to be PM, no idea why she would accept it

    At least she was a remainer

  • So Truss is taking over the brief, if she wants to be PM, no idea why she would accept it

    It's the best move for Johnson to make - Truss is very popular with the Tory membership because of all of the cabinet she's both made a successful job of rolling over trade deals, secured some new ones (that they're shit and will destroy British farming isn't important as the newspapers that pander to Tories won't report that part), and she's not got any obvious problems such as refugees landing on beaches in Kent.

    Therefore giving her the responsibility to sort out the deal that he and Frost agreed, but without the support to invoke A16 means she'll be both unable to do what the base wants and if she tries to make progress like a grownup by actually negotiating they'll hate her for being a traitor.
