Boris endures, but to what end?

Hector Drummond Posted on Thursday 5th September 2019 by Hector DrummondThursday 5th September 2019

There’s an old saying that has applied to Conservatives for years: might as well be hanged for a sheep than a lamb. Conservatives are always denounced by the media and the Establishment whenever they depart from the progressive script, so … Continue reading →

Of course Johnson has to purge the Remainer rebels

Hector Drummond Posted on Monday 2nd September 2019 by Hector DrummondMonday 2nd September 2019

Why is there any debate about this? He has to do it. It’s only Tory pusillanimity that could stop it. If they vote against you to stymie Brexit then keeping them in the party means that an early election will … Continue reading →

Cummings is a deal man, not a Hard Brexit man

Hector Drummond Posted on Friday 30th August 2019 by Hector DrummondFriday 30th August 2019

Will be getting back to regular blogging soon, but in the meantime I just wanted to make the point that it seems to me that Johnson and Cummings are entirely serious about wanting a deal. I also think they’re entirely … Continue reading →

The appetite for conservative policies

Hector Drummond Posted on Wednesday 21st August 2019 by Hector DrummondWednesday 21st August 2019

Some people have wondered whether there really is an appetite for more conservative policies amongst the British people. I’d say the fact that Boris Johnson’s government got a poll boost when they started talking tougher about prison sentences shows that … Continue reading →

Boris bounced like a flat basketball

Hector Drummond Posted on Wednesday 31st July 2019 by Hector DrummondWednesday 31st July 2019

I’m in the middle of summer hols, and there isn’t much internet access, which explains the lack of posting, but I thought I should note while I have the chance to be online that all the signs still are that … Continue reading →

Much will rest on Boris’ Cabinet

Hector Drummond Posted on Monday 1st July 2019 by Hector DrummondMonday 1st July 2019

The only thing that can save Boris Johnson, and the Conservative Party, is his Cabinet: BORIS Johnson will make everyone in his Cabinet promise to commit to leave the EU by October 31 – or they’ll be sacked.   The … Continue reading →

Call the bluff of those MPs who threaten a no-confidence vote

Hector Drummond Posted on Saturday 29th June 2019 by Hector DrummondSaturday 29th June 2019

A lot of Conservative MPs are making big claims about bringing down the government if they try to pursue a WTO Brexit. I say: call their bluff. They won’t do it. As soon Boris becomes PM (assuming he does), he … Continue reading →

The Establishment hates Boris, but that doesn’t mean he’s the Brexit man

Hector Drummond Posted on Thursday 27th June 2019 by Hector DrummondThursday 27th June 2019

There seems to be a lot of this sort of thinking happening at the moment: The Establishment is clearly trying to smear Boris in any way possible. They’re frightened of him. He’s the anti-Establishment candidate. They must fear that he’s … Continue reading →

The chances of anything coming from Mars are… the same as Boris getting us a No Deal Brexit

Hector Drummond Posted on Thursday 27th June 2019 by Hector DrummondThursday 27th June 2019

If you’d ask me a few days ago what the odds are on Boris Johnson actually doing a No Deal Brexit would have sung you the bit from Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds: The chances of Boris getting No … Continue reading →

It doesn’t matter how Boris will shape up in the long term

Hector Drummond Posted on Monday 24th June 2019 by Hector DrummondMonday 24th June 2019

There are suddenly a rash of determined and blatant media efforts to portray Boris Johnson as unstable — for example: And he is said to be so disturbed about his divorce from Marina there have been ­questions raised about his … Continue reading →

The delay to a new PM is, I think, a good thing

Hector Drummond Posted on Friday 21st June 2019 by Hector DrummondThursday 20th June 2019

Some people wanted a Boris coronation to save the pointlessness of a  month run-off between Boris and Hunt, when it’s obvious Boris will win. I can see one advantage of that — getting Theresa May out of office before she … Continue reading →

Cabinet clearout

Hector Drummond Posted on Tuesday 18th June 2019 by Hector DrummondTuesday 18th June 2019

Disappointing rumour from the Telegraph: As many as one third of Theresa May’s top team could be replaced by a new cadre of rising star politicians being lined up to sit in a Boris Johnson Cabinet. A third is the … Continue reading →
