> Boris Johnson has been included in David Cameron's Cabinet as a number of women MPs have been given top roles in the final line-up.

Great line!

Cameron wisely prefers him in the tent p155ing out than outside p155ing in.

[naomi24]

Ellipsis, yes indeed. :o)

[maggiebee]

Yes indeed Canary.

Boris is an untrustworthy self-seeker who shouldn't be let near the cabinet; I expect Cameron is following Zebo's advice, but he may just be giving a nice job - one without any actual work - to an old school chum.

dave is wise to have Boris in the Cabinet, even if he doesn't have any work to do.

Lyndon B Johnson comes to mind here :::

" It's probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in "

Or maybe this, often attributed to Machiavelli ::

" Keep your friends close but your enemies closer "

Sorry Canary...just seen your earlier post !

Oh really TTT, I have not fallen for his act as the northern saying goes "Act daft and I'll buy you a coal yard". Still a buffoon, but a devious one.

I am on record here on AB as advising that we ignore or misinterpret Boris at our peril. Beneath all that head scratching and waugh-waugh-wuagh'ing, lives a very sharp intelligence. He WILL be Tory Leader at some time in the future and has all the makings of a Tory PM about him.

Don't let him fool you !

Another Bullingdon boy joins the gang.

Indeed taranis...it must be like old times...... Perhaps they will start throwing bread rolls at each other at meal times !

Tally Ho !

// The Mayor of London has accepted an invitation from the prime minister to attend political cabinet. However this is not a ministerial appointment. He won't be attending full cabinet and he will not be running any department. //

Cameron has granted him a very small priveldge. One that can be taken away at the first sign he steps oot of line. This is just the Cabinets way of keeping their eye on Boris.

When it looked like Cameron wouldn't get a majority, Boris' name was top of many peoples' lists to replace hime. Now Boris gets the very minimal Cameron can offer , other than being on the back benches where he could be a trouble maker.
