New Gov't Department

[gulliver1]

When Boris reshuffled his Cabinet he created a new Dept calling it,, "Ministry for levelling up".........
And appointed Michael as the Minister .Anyone know what this new post actually is .

[ToraToraTora]

do you have a link? Perhaps it explains it there.

[maggiebee]

Probably just like the "ministry of silly walks" Gully

[gulliver1]

I do realise this post was thought up by Boris's dream department of
,,,,,,,Political Nonsense........ .

[ToraToraTora]

can you let us have link to what you are talking about so we can discuss it from a common stand point.

[maggiebee]

LINK LINK LINK!! You're perfectly capable of Googling TT, you do it all the time.

maggie: "LINK LINK LINK!! You're perfectly capable of Googling TT, you do it all the time." - because I want to make sure we are discussing the same thing, as I have said above and about a dozen times before. Only by utilising a supplied link as per site convention can we be sure that we are discussing from a common stand point. Why is that so difficult for you to grasp maggie?

[ToraToraTora]

maggie I'd have thought you'd want people to make sure they are talking about the same thing.

It seems Gove is going to run this new Dept with the help of Andy Halden ,
who is an ex economist to the BOE.

[ToraToraTora]

again, if I knew what you were talking about I could perhaps make a contribution.

Never know the Tories level with anyone before.

It could be , whats an acceptable sum of cash each minister can con from the tax payer and get away with. Matt Hancock got 3 million for his pub mate and got away with it, so may be that's a bench mark?

[ichkeria]

Does anyone really know what “levelling up” in this context really means?
Everyone is going to be both equal and richer?
Well put me down for some of that.
;-)

[dannyk13]

ich, does it not mean a levelling up between the north and the south.

[ichkeria]

Like I say: equal and richer.

It’s not going to happen. It’s a dangerous slogan to be playing with. And affixing it to the title of a government department is … risky

Anything squint gets sorted...

He'll probably have plenty of time to sharpen his knife ready to stab Boris in the back later on.Remember,Brutus stabbed Caesar after he had been forgiven and welcomed back into the fold.

[gulliver1]

11.52 T/C sort of a spirit level.
Someone levels the cash out , and Boris's Con Cronies spirit it away.
