Dodgyknees Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Brown called a Press Conference for 1700 today. Resignation, General Election or declaration of emergency powers? In fact it could be to introduce Alan Sugar and his latest project, 'Britain's got Government'. Just about the reshuffle. Unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoon just quit, by-election in Norwich due to Lab MP standing down. I think this could finally be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Question- Was Brown looking to change the expenses policy anyway was is this reaction to the Telegraph's reports? Cos if it's the latter the sneaky word removed is once again trying to make out he is the saviour of Britain, and if the leaks hadn't been made then things'd had carried on as before with the same useless tw**s in cabinet as always. The same PM who as chancellor took away alot of the economic restraints on banks and then tries to take glory and the world saviour stance for reeling banks in once the shit hit the fan. The man,like nearly all polititicians, is in it for themselves and the glory. **** rocket polisher. And he looks like a paedo when he smiles.

Awol Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Jesus, he's still in total denial, but Nick Robinson is humiliating him. Still, there's always Monday after the euro election results come out. That's unless one of the old boys get's him in Normandy in one last outstanding act of public service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drat01 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The pound is dropping now against euro and dollar too.. Which shows that business has more faith in a Labout gvmt - how ironic. But then again as most are so insular why are they worried about Johnny Foreigner currency "The UK political situation is rapidly moving from bad to worse which is acting as a major drag on the pound despite more encouraging housing news," said French financial services firm Calyon in a note to clients. Sterling had been riding high in recent weeks on hopes that the worst was over for the UK economy. 'Difficult circumstances' Investors think there is a risk that the UK could see a leadership vacuum at a fragile time for the economy. The limited scope for plausible economic policy shifts in the UK will remain unchanged irrespective of whose hands are grasping the levers of power Neil Mellor, Bank of New York Mellon Send us your comments However, news that Alistair Darling would remain in his job as chancellor was largely welcomed in financial circles. "It is not really the time to be changing the chancellor," said Howard Archer, an economist at IHS Global Insight. "Obviously, Darling has had his problems, but he has had to face very difficult circumstances. There has been a lot of criticism, but he has not done that bad a job," he added. And the EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, also welcomed the announcement that Lord Mandelson would remain as business secretary, as well as Mr Darling's continued role at the Treasury. "The economic storm has not yet passed and manufacturers need to see the government focusing all its attention on supporting businesses through these turbulent times and into the upturn," said the EEF's director of policy, Steve Radley. Funny how the people "in the know" see the prospect of a Tory Gvmt as being very weak for the economy - how ironic BBc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
