If anyone wants cheering up on this depressing day, follow the resignation 'letter' of Gareth Arnold, the Comms Director of former Labour, now Indy MP Jared O'Mara. Why? Cos it all takes place on O'Mara's Twitter account!! Suffice to say, don't think Mr Arnold is too fond of his former employer.
The question you should be asking is which Prime Minister was voted in by the electorate You know, a question which is relevant to my original post...
I was a Harold Wilson fan (did you here that,Mary?). …..and the heck with Ian Smith (didn't he screw up his country? You betcha!)
Not defending O'Mara, as he seems like a twat, but Arnold got the job in order to do this. He's a troll using it to promote himself and he's got a suspiciously large Wikipedia entry for a virtual nobody: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_Arnold
The waffling gargoyle was quick to suggest forming an electoral pact with the Tories to something something CORBYN BAD MAN, which seems to suggest that Nige has failed to consider there is a possible link between the Tory vote imploding at the exact same time as his personal fiefdom had its early burst of votes - something which is far less likely to happen as the Leavers flock back to the Tories now that Boris is in charge, which is the exact same miscalculation that Paul Nuttall made when he assumed that UKIP would retain all the disgruntled Tory votes in the 2017 election, only for UKIP to be annihilated in the polls On the subject of people we wish would shut up...
No actually. I've never voted for a Prime Minister, only for an MP. Frankly it was ok when Callaghan took over from Wilson and Brown took over from Blair, so can't complain now. There is enough to complain about Johnson over, but not the way he's elected.
The issue is that he doesn't demonstrably command a majority in the HoC for his programme. That is a first and our constitution doesn't really cover it.
So if somebody did complain about Brown becoming PM without a mandate we can complain? Just asking, since Boris Johnson happened to say this in his Spectator column at the time...
