[Sir Tigger KC]

So we have a new de facto Dear Leader that nobody voted for.  It's the equivalent of Mario Monti and Mario Draghi the technocratic Prime Ministers imposed on Italy by the EU. 

Talking of which, we are told that Jeremy Hunt was on holiday in Belgium when he got the call from Liz Truss offering him the job of Chancellor and he had to high tail it back to London on the EuroStar from Brussels.

So..... Who the hell goes on holiday to Belgium in October? 

What was he really doing in Brussels? Who was he meeting with and why? 

[Nick W]

Are you sure you want to know, because you won't like the answer.


Holidaying in Belgium in October is all part of Hunt's mystique.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

He was the first of the eight potential Tory leaders to be booted off, with just 18 votes.

He may be 'competent' but he is a soaking wet leftie.

Very Fond of the way they do things in China, apparently.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Also....

He loves the EU

He loves the WEF

No doubt he would love to see cash abolished to be replaced by a programmable digital currency.

Perhaps we should become the 51st State and vote for a proper President.

Westminster, and its MPs/Lords could then be kept as an interesting tourist attraction much like the Royal Family and Holyrood in Northern France.

I've been a couple of times.

The beer is good which is just as well because the women are not very attractive.

You do know that the US President is America's equivalent of an interesting tourist attraction and that the actual government, that at least attempts to get stuff done, is the two houses just like our and every other parliamentary system?

OK but you're not a prominent remainer MP who has tried and failed to become PM twice through the normal procedures. 

You are a Lord though....

Yes, but at least they get elected to positions they hold

No thanks. Sleepy Joe is busy driving the US economy off a bigger cliff than Jeremy Khant is intent on driving ours off of, with his tax hikes! 

Liz Truss is getting a right old slagging and frankly the poor woman looks as though she is on the verge of a breakdown, but she correctly identified that the UK is about to go into recession along with most other western democracies and tried to do something about it rather than just be a passenger.

I think she deserves credit for that, and I also think that there are bad actors out there who didn't want Little Brexit Britain to avoid recession or have a shorter/shallower recession than their countries. 

[Doctor Gollum]

Once the mid terms are done, the Democrats will be unelectable.

Then it's barely two years and they will have a proper President rather than Obamas hand puppet. They vote for the President rather than the party per se. (obviously said candidate usually represents one party or tother.

Here we don't even get a choice... The winning party gets to choose the PM, on a weekly basis without any input from the actual electorate.

So..... Who the hell goes on holiday to Belgium in October? 

Oi! I've spent loads of weekends away in Belgium over the years.  Belgium do very good beer.

Sadly, I can't remember much of what went on, but I remember being refused entry into the Stella Artois factory in Leuven.  I might have been in a mucking fuddle...

Apparently I went to Bruge as well one weekend, but was already wasted before I left the hotel

Somehow I can't imagine Jeremy Hunt going to Belgium to get on the lash.

Meanwhile… who has their finger on the UK nuclear button? Ben Wallace, Truss?

I bet everyone has forgotten about Ukraine.
