So ... we could conclude that a scouse passenger has sold a story to the Echo

There's a lot to read between the lines in that story. Not least that the family tragically affected could have done more to help themselves instead of blaming the cruise company.

It will be interesting to see what Johnsons does in his resuffle. Will he try to balance his cabinet out a bit more or continue to surround himself with "yes men".

Williamson will be out because he is useless and Rabb will probably follow him because Boris sees him as his biggest leadership contender… it will then be knife sharping time.

Based on performance I thought Sunak was much more like leadership material than Raab (who quite honestly seems to be equally incompetent in any role he does).

He would appear to be the popular choice but is he an all-rounder? What we don’t want to do is put another lame duck in the seat….My choice would be Gove but politics today is more about personality than ability.

Since he and his missus have now separated, he would seem eminently suitable for foreign affairs.

‘Fresh from his demotion to justice secretary and deputy PM, former Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab put on a broad smile as he left No 10 a few seconds ago.

He did not reply to reporters in the street who asked him if he is happy with his new job.

But Downing Street sent out an email which confirms his new lists of roles.

No 10’

Not sure how you can class his new roll as a demotion. I would have thought it was a leg up.

That’s the difference between Johnson and Gove…Gove knows when its time to go

Raab won't see it that way Stephen....he'll be off the the hardware shop to get a new set of knives

Well I have absolutely no idea what to think about the reshuffle, half the names I know nothing about.

Could be because your comments appear to express more interest in the meanderings of Sir Keir rather than the direct action of Boris.

Why is that when you have nothing intelligent to say you just post something you have made up?

Sir Keir would be hard pressed to find a full cabinet that wasn't, especially if he wanted them to have any ability.

Many Labour politicians sent their children to private schools most notably Diane Abbott's son. She decried private schools and then sent her own son as she "wanted the best for him".

Is that really a huge issue? Genuine question!
The role is about management and defining policy, it is the opposition that is meant to provide checks and balances and the civil service that are meant to enact policy,

As much as it pains me to say this but I think Boris or whoever has made a couple of excellent appointments…Rudd and Mr level-up (Gove) being two of them.

Wonderful quote from.the mission director of the Inspiration4 space trip that "space travel becomes much more accessible to average men and women."

Given the trip cost £145million for four passengers he has an interesting perception of average men and women! Bit beyond my pocket.

If we club together could we do just a little trip?
