this was a fun leak yesterday

JRM  issues new style guide to his staff demanding male MPs are called Esq, the use of imperial measurements and which words are banned (but not 'not fit for purpose')

https://www.itv.com/news/2019-07-26/itv-news-exclusive-jacob-rees-mogg-issues-style-guide-to-staff/

of his "banned words" it was later revealed that RM had used them himself in speeches and articles 2,291 times


Donald Tusk "don't waste this time!" comes to mind

97 days to no deal

One of my Uni lecturers had a list of banned words. I kicked off big time, too much in hindsight (young and foolish). In terms of JRM’s list, I also don’t like ‘very’ (I might have another go at stopping using it) but strongly disagree with banning words.

Has to be good news for all concerned :

Let’s hope he gets himself in to a better situation.

I wonder why he's waiting until the end of the holidays to resign?

I don’t think he can resign while Parliament is in recess.

Either end of Thursday or some time yesterday. I think it was Thursday but wasn’t taking much notice of things yesterday.

I guess we’ll never know but I think the actions of people in situations as dire as his appears to be, often seem irrational and nonsensical.

I wondered whether it was so that he could get a few weeks more wages, no questions asked.

He can pick up wages until the general election if he wants to.

Even if he resigns, or is that when he would be thrown out?

If he didn't resign, he could have hung around picking up wages until the election.   Not doing the work you were elected to do isn't grounds for removal, as Nigel Farage learned years ago.  Though possibly some of Farage's voters are happy that he does nothing other than rock up every few weeks to have a dig.
