Sir Keir survives so far but is it over?

A couple of days ago my response would have been, “Probably’, Ray. But now I’m not so sure. A more important question for me would be, “Who will replace him if he goes?”. I don’t see any obvious candidates, and I’m concerned it would be a case of ‘out of the frying pan into the fire’ if he goes. I suspect that Badenough has already worked this out, and it’s the reason she won’t give up bleating about resignation.

One positive to come out of it - If the opposition are so insistent on his resignation he must be doing something right :-D

Quite so, Dave. I think there’s quite a lot of things he’s doing right - keeping us out of Drumpf’s and Netan-yahoo’s illegal war with Iran being not the least of them. If Badenough and Farridge had had their way, we would have been up to our necks in blood and bullets, and spaffing billions on it by now.

There’s an old proverb, “Better the devil you know…” that probably applies here…
