11:09 am
says something about the political direction boris johnson wants his cabinet to go this is a man who is known in brussels and not like ford for his confrontational style is somebody who is a lawyer rather diplomatic and the foreign office will probably have their hands full trying to sort of teach him the the basics of the lama see and how for instance to deal with the immediate crisis like to take a crisis with iran he's going to need all the foreign policy skills there to sort of get to grips grips with that of barbara what have been some of the reactions where you are to these changes in the cabinet and to boris johnson's call for a new can do approach to getting things done and bright. yeah if we look at the papers today for instance the daily mail who is basically pro boris johnson but even they talk down here about a bloodbath in cabinet always take a look at the times the conservative paper and they're talking about the carnage in
