selenakWell, what can I say about the new season line-up the tv show British Politics presented yesterday? At least Larry retains his cabinet position. (Seriously, read that entry I just linked. The Larry tale is probably the best thing to come out of this week.)
As for one of last season's chief villains making a comeback in a supporting role after (prematurely, sigh) we all assumed he'd been written out: I can't decide whether it's a cunning ploy to punish him ("you broke it, you can't run away, face the music and become hated trying to fix it the way the rest of us will") or Theresa May's idea of comedy relief. I mean, it's not like Boris Johnson's greatest hit list of diplomatic efforts is a carefully kept secret. I must admit, I can't wait for the crossover episode with the horror show "Turkish Politics", because if ever two people deserve each other, these two people are Erdogan and Johnson. (Otoh, in the interest of not starting yet another war in the Middle East, might be wise to keep him away from Iraq.)
I note that Johnson won't be negotiating anything Brexit related and that another guy who got the newly created cabinet post of "Brexit Minister" will. This proves that May isn't deliberately trying to to make things worse for Britain, at least? I also note that the headline in today's FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of our leading pappers) is "May begs Germany and France for more time", which isn't how her press office phrased it to the local media, I'm sure.
Meanwhile, not just our politicians but those around the globe are still wondering whether this is all a big joke this morning...
