Yup, thank you again. I’d gathered from the article that it was likely a sort of political consultation but even looking in a dictionary didn’t exactly clear it up.

Thank you!

I’m a dumb American who has never seen the word surgeries used in this context. Can someone explain?

That’s not the typical application of the poophole loophole, but I approve of it.

I’m purely guessing but if the internal staffing is not changed when a new administration, than the office culture, makeup, structure, purpose, and outcome should stay roughly the same.

Only if the office is forced to reform under each administration would it really change. If it was working fine for the Tories, they’d leave it. If anyone else thought it needed to be overhauled they might have done it.

This is what people mean when they talk about the Deep State, though they whisper it conspiratorially.

It’s government professionals, doing their jobs day in and out, no matter who rules the henhouse.

Don’t be like Boris.

Not by the public.

Just by his colleagues in his own party. THEY wanted him.

Hah! Missed the /s.

Telling the poor to pull their own weight while cutting taxes for billionaires.

Typical.

Looks like it was a multi-player Zelda-like with user made campaigns.

I can see why that would be a hell of a lot of fun.
