The names read like a baddie list from the Harry Potter films.
Itâs very ethnically diverse though.
Hope he can find something for David Davis and Ian Duncan Smith
There has to be a role for the Brexit Bulldog.
Coffins possibly.

Jacob Rees-Mogg leader of the House of Commens. Blonde scouse bombshell Esther McVey minister for Housing. James Cleverly party chairman. Boris really going for broke here.
Is there anything worse than a Scouse Tory
Itâs the equivalent of a Nazi-loving Jew

By cutting off a whole wing of the tory party he can hardly hope to return as pm after a general election. What is his strategy

Sure Chris failing wins that accolade
This I feel is a very mistaken belief
He walked the leadership contest as he was always going to
And I would be very surprised if he doesnât win a general election
The anti-Brexit vote will be hopelessly split
Brexiteers identify along cultural lines and they are in his pocket
A general election will effectively be a singular Leave v a split vote Remain
The strategy is slash and burn. Gotterdammerung.
Try to get better terms off the EU. Theyâll tell him to fuck off unless they feel they will lose the 39 billion. Go back to Parliament with cosmetic changes to Mayâs deal. If that doesnât work an election based on no deal.
I canât see labour leavers voting Tory though.

I can see your points but can he win back the marginals lost by theresa may with a strategy that does not appeal to the middle ground?
Jeremy Corbyn remains his best ally

Most will probably stick with Labour because of cultural reasons, but some will desert them
They donât have to vote Tory, they could vote Brexit or not vote at all
That could tip the balance in midlands and northern marginals away from Labour
In more southern marginals that Labour won last time, they stand to lose because Remainers will switch to the Lib Dems or Greens
Corbyn rode a wave of grass roots enthusiasm from young people in 2017
Thatâs how the vote was got out to such an extent
That enthusiasm has now dissipated because of his vacillation over Brexit
Labour will find it very difficult to do well without that grass roots enthusiasm
Much of the enthusiasm was because Corbyn was seen as somebody authentic who wasnât playing to a cynical strategy - that is now not the case
Itâs the same thing Pelosi is doing with the Democrats in the US - when you play to a cynical âstrategyâ to try to keep everybody happy, it backfires
Johnson is not doing that, heâs going for full on right wing mayhem but because heâs seen as authentic itâll likely work
Yes, sadly, because I expect him to appeal to the âmiddle groundâ to a surprising extent, heâll lie through his teeth and dress himself up as somewhat of a social democrat but with lashings of right-wing nationalism piled on top of it
Johnson is at heart a used car salesman and he is brilliant at conning people, being a good con artist is the greatest gift a party leader can have
There will be a pact with Farage which means they wont split the vote
The Brexit party vote in current opinion polls might as well be Tory
May tied herself in knots during the 2017 campaign - she looked weak, she totally lost control of the narrative, the dementia tax stuck in peopleâs guts in exactly the wrong way - she ran the worst campaign in living memory
I canât see Johnson doing that
Youâve come as long way in a few months from Corbyn will walk the GE.
