Titanic deck chair attendant to stay
Minister tries to quash rumours of plot to oust PM
Rishi Sunak will lead the Tories into the next general election, the transport secretary insisted, amid reports of a plot to oust the prime minister.
Mark Harper dismissed speculation some Conservative rebels want the prime minister to be replaced with Commons leader Penny Mordaunt.
Asked on Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips if Mr Sunak will still be leader at the next election, Mr Harper said: "Yes he will.
"And he'll take us into that election and he'll set out very clearly that we're a government with a plan."
...and the plan is "How to assemble an IKEA bookshelf".
ReplyDeleteDJ - that would be the SNÖRS shelves for bound copies of his speeches.
ReplyDeleteIt is probably cunning.

ReplyDeleteSauve qui peut, as the French master at Eton used to say. Dust off those directorships, phone your old chums, and hope that you are high profile enough to secure a book deal or a media pundit job.
Doonhamer - although not as cunning as Baldrick's.
ReplyDeleteSam - yes, I bet those are the only plans they care about now. Media pundit might be popular, but the queues could be long.
Plan to bring down Britain ... but we knew that.
ReplyDeleteJames - to the level of an unimportant global province.
ReplyDeleteA Government with a plan...
ReplyDeleteI assume that's not supposed to be as frightening as it sounds
Bucko - ha ha, yes it's supposed to be reassuring but certainly isn't.
ReplyDeleteOh this country is in such need for more media pundits!
ReplyDeleteTammly - especially failed MPs.
