Mestre de tudo o que ele leva a - por enquanto

Nesta semana, Frank McKenna reflete sobre as primeiras semanas de Boris Johnson no poder - e questiona a legitimidade da proibição européia do Manchester City Football Club.

John Major tinha seus "bastardos conservadores" para enfrentar. Tony Blair tinha Gordon Brown. Brown enfrentou um partido conservador rejuvenescido liderado por David Cameron. Cameron dependia de sua coalizão parceira dos democratas liberais e Theresa May sofreu o ERG e o DUP. Ele está governando o país com pouco ou nenhum escrutínio, pois a oposição oficial passa por um concurso de liderança alongado farcicamente com o qual até os candidatos parecem estar ficando entediados. E ele esmagou qualquer dissidência interna ao cercada de um gabinete que é tão compatível que, para o benefício das câmeras de televisão, a moda de papagaio, repetindo as frases de campanha de mestre em uníssono em seu comando. Terrível das campanhas eleitorais gerais, garantindo sua confortável vitória. Agora, esses mesmos partes estão em um estado de perplexidade, incapazes de manter o governo em conta adequada. A mídia está sendo intimidada e afastada pelo parceiro de Johnson Dominic Cummings (que é um operador brilhante a propósito), com a BBC com o peso desses ataques. E mesmo na UE, os governos franceses e alemães estão lidando com desafios sísmicos que podem permitir que o Reino Unido negocie um acordo comercial meio decente durante o curso dos próximos doze meses.

Johnson, on the other hand, has swept away the opposition parties, commanding a commons majority of 80 seats. He is governing the country with little or no scrutiny as the official opposition go through a farcically elongated leadership contest that even the candidates appear to be getting bored with. And he has crushed any internal dissent by surrounding himself with a cabinet that is so compliant that, for the benefit of the television cameras, will, parrot-fashion, repeat their master’s campaign phrases in unison on his command.

It is said that a lucky General is better than a good one, and for now luck is on our glorious leaders’ side.

Both the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats delivered the most dreadful of General Election campaigns, ensuring his comfortable victory. Now those same parties are in a state of bewilderment unable to hold the government to proper account. The media is being bullied and sidelined by Johnson’s partner-in-crime Dominic Cummings (who is a brilliant operator by the way), with the BBC bearing the brunt of those attacks. And even in the EU, the French and German governments are dealing with seismic challenges that may allow the UK to negotiate a half decent trade deal during the course of the next twelve months.

No entanto, a sorte é uma coisa engraçada. Em algum momento, acaba. Trazer Jeremy Hunt de volta à liderança conservadora significa que uma garupa de parlamentares poderosos e descontentes está começando a se reunir atrás dele. Longe.

If the Labour Party elect a credible leader and start focusing on the issues that matter rather than debating whether or not we are born with a particular gender or not, he will have an opposition facing him worthy of the name.

His forcing of Sajid Javid’s resignation, alongside the sacking of people like Esther McVey and Andrea Leadsom and his decision not to bring Jeremy Hunt back into the Tory leadership means that a rump of powerful, discontented MPs is starting to gather behind him.

The Cabinet will not always be as compliant, and his colleagues are already doing some gentle sabre rattling on issues such as HS2 and the BBC.

Thatcher was at her most powerful between the years of 1987 and 1989. By 1990, she’d gone.

City ban farcical

The decision of UEFA to ban Manchester City from European competition for two seasons on the grounds that they have broken fair play rules is an absolute joke.

Set aside the fact that FIFA and UEFA can hardly hold themselves up as paragons of virtue, the guilty verdict was delivered by a panel consisting of characters representing some of City’s greatest rivals, including former Liverpool FC chief executive Rick Parry.

From the outside looking in, this appears like a Kangaroo Court trying to protect the old establishment and football cartel from an ‘outsiders’ Aquisição. Se a cidade acabar sendo punida, devemos esperar que muitos outros clubes estejam na doca nas próximas estações. column_shadow = "None" column_border_radius = "none" width = "1/3 ″ tablet_text_alignment =" default "Phone_text_alignment =" default "column_border_width =" nenhum " column_border_style = "sólido"] [vc_raw_html] jtndySuymghyzwylm0qlmjjodhrwcyuzqsuyriuyrnr3ax R0zxIUy29TJTJGRG93BNRVD25GCMFUAYUZRNJLZl9ZCMLM0R0D3NYYYUTVFGZ3JTIYJTIWY2XHC3MLM0QLMJ J0D2L0DGVYLWZVBGXVDY1IDXR0B24LMJILMJBKYXRHLXNOB3CTY291BNQLM0QLMJJMYWXZZZSUYMIUZRUZVBGXVDY Uymcu0mervd250b3durnjhbmslm0mlmkzhjtnfjtndc2nyaxb0jtiwyxn5bmmlmjbzcmmlm0qlmjjodhrwcyUzqs Uyriuyrnbsyxrmb3jtlnr3axr0zxiUy29tjtjgd2lkz2v0cy5qcyuymiuymgnoyxjzzxqlm0qlmjj1dgytocuymi UzrsUzqyuyrnnjcmlwdcuzrq == [/vc_raw_html] [vc_raw_html] jtndySUymgSyxnzjtnejtiydhdpdhrlci1 0aw1lbGluzSUymiuyMgrHDGETAGVPZ2H0JTNEJTIMYTAWMCUYMIUYMGHYZWYLM0QLMJJODHRWCYUZQSUYRIUYRNR 3axr0ZXIUY29TJTJGRG93BNRVD25GCMFUAYUZRNJLZl9ZCMLM0R0D3NYYYUTVFDGZ3JTIYJTNFVHDLZXRZJTI wynklmjbeb3dudg93bkzyyw5rjtndjtjgysUzrsuymcUzq3njcmlwdcuymgfzew5jjtiwc3jjjtnejtiyahr0chm lm0elmkylmkzwbgf0zm9ybs50d2l0dgvylmnvbsuyrndpzgdldhmuanmlmjilmjbjagfyc2v0jtnejtiydxrmltg lmjilm0ulm0mlmkzzy3jpchqlm0ulmja = [/vc_raw_html] [vc_raw_html] jtndysUymghyzwylm0qlmjjodhrw cyuzqsuyriuyrnr3axr0zxiuy29tjtjgrg93bnrvd25gcmfuayUzrnjlzl9zCmmlm0r0d3nyyuyntvfdgz3Jtiy Jtiwy2xhc3mlm0qlmjj0d2l0dgvylwzvbgxvdy1idxr0b24lmjilmjbkyxrhlxnob3cty291bnqlm0qlmjjmywxz ZSUYMIUZRUZVBGXVDYUYMCU0MERVD250B3DURNJHBMSLM0MLMKZHJTNFJTNDC2NYAXB0JTIWYXN5BMMLMJBZCMML M0qlmjjodhrwcyuzqsuyriuyrnbsyxrmb3jtlnr3axr0zxiuy29tjtjgd2lkz2v0cy5qcyuymiuymgnoyxjzzxxql M0qlmjj1dgytocUymiuzrsuzqyuyrnnjcmlwdcuzrq == [/vc_raw_html] [/vc_column] [/vc_row]
