Whip Round

Wonder if members might feel inclined to have a whip round for a few old blokes just lost their jobs. Will Hague, Ken Clark, Andrew Lansley, Owen Patterson, and im hearing Michael Gove.

Seems a lot of them women things have come in and cost these fine chaps their rightful employment, whatever next they will be wanting to be Bishops next

Re: Whip Round

I am sure they will have put a few bob aside for their retirement Nom ...

Re: Whip Round

I could not believe my ears when I heard the news casters saying who had lost their jobs in the reshuffle and that they were being replaced by younger men and women - mostly women taking up the roles.

Now I haven't heard the full report as yet but I hope they can do the job and not being put in place just because he wants a younger element around him for the elections next year.

I know everyone needs a chance to shine but I was left flabbergasted as the wording of the replacements.

Re: Whip Round

Re: Whip Round

Just waiting to see whether Ian Duncan-Smith gets the 'heave' too (hopefully yes!!!).

Re: Whip Round

I'm a bit sad Gove has gone, he had some great ideas just no way to put them through properly.
