"There is some changes and some shifting of the Whitehall deckchairs..."

Has anyone ever heard of "shifting" or "rearranging" of deckchairs in a metaphor without it being the Titanic?

1. No, but this is just as pointless

2. Nope

He's an idiot who inadvertently let the cat out of the bag.

God help us.

THE Brexit secretary has confirmed that he is stockpiling food and nobody else is having any of it.

Raab, who was made Brexit minister in-name-only two weeks ago, told press he has already amassed over 40 cans of food and 24 litres of water in case he fails to reach a deal with the EU.

He said: “Stockpiling food for Britain? Unacceptable, makes us look weak. Stockpiling it for myself? True Conservatism.

“I’ve got those M&S cans of lamb korma that cost like £4.50. We’ll save them for Saturday nights, after Brexit, watching the riots while insisting the last thing voters want is another election.
