True blues

This week Theresa May met with her cabinet for the first time to discuss their post-brexit visions. They've obviously had very busy schedules for the past 18 months. An intense hour and forty five minutes left each of the 25 ministers ~4 minutes each to outline their priorities in fine detail.   


Some MPs want to take back control of workers rights. Workers don't want health and safety, rest breaks and holiday pay said some. They need the right to work overtime. Like they already have. 


The cabinet agreed to demand a bespoke deal from the EU. Michel Barnier previously stated that the UK can't have an `a la carte' transition. 'We don't speak French!' blustered Boris Johnson (possibly) in the meeting.











Damian Green was dramatically sacked from his post. Apparently it's OK that he had 1000's of 'extreme' images on his work computer, but he really shouldn't have lied with misleading statements about the whole state of affairs. Green once said that 'jobs of the future may not have stable hours, holiday pay, sick pay or pensions' and that was 'exciting'. It is unknown if this is still his current view on employment. 



Misleading others is perhaps what this government will be best remembered for.


They'll also be remembered for their important announcement this week - the 'iconic' blue passport will return after we leave the EU. The colour could have been changed at anytime without Brexit though — Croatia has a fine blue passport...
