Know who your enemies are and who are your friends

There is a good post on this theme on the Conservative Woman web site by Timothy Bradshaw.

I pick out a few quotes:

“Let’s not forget that it was this Remainer cabal of anti-democratic managerialists that forced out the greatest Conservative PM of the last century or this, Margaret Thatcher. ”

“An intelligent and honest Brexit PM firstly and immediately needs to get rid of the main enemies of Brexit, the Remainer generals in that implacable anti-Brexit militia, the Treasury.”

 ”The Treasury and Cabinet Office, however, will need uprooting to get such a radical but obvious plan implemented. The mandarins in the civil service will need to be given other jobs, as ambassadors to Albania and cultural attachés to Vladivostok, for example. John Redwood seems the ideal choice for the next Chancellor of the Exchequer with his financial expertise and knowledge of trade.”

In my civil service days it was exile to the DVLC in Swansea thatwas the ultimate deterrent.

“And that of course raises the issue of the future of the Lords and constitutional reform in the light of the chaotic shenanigans performed by Sir Oliver Letwin and his mates in the Commons as they took over the executive with a collusive Speaker when it suited them. The Lords is a disgrace in size, membership and bias. It needs pruning from its current 800 and growing to something like 100, with seats no longer going to party apparatchiks who have had their day. Likewise the honours system: no more Sir Humphreys please, they have had their massive pay and rewards even for national betrayals. A constitutional commission which does not appoint itself needs to be put in place to avoid the wrecking of referenda by MPs reneging on their electoral promises.”

We need people with strong Brexit beliefs to replace the moral vacuum of May and her Treasury and FCO cronies.

Robbins and Sedwell have to be sacked with no gongs or pensions for their deceit and failure.

 ”a new PM will need to declare the Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration dead. Indeed he or she should commission a properly qualified team to prepare a case showing that this was an ‘Agreement’ always aimed, as the Verhofstadt documentary revealed with brutal clarity, at rendering the UK a ‘Trade Colony’ under EU terms and conditions. That surely means the EU was negotiation in bad faith and voids this grotesque treaty in law, along with its blackmail strategy on the Irish border.”

There is more Tory talent on the  backbenches than in May’s government. John Redwood has more brains in his little finger than Matthew Hancock has in his whole body.
