No holidays for Italian parliamentarians, but also in Great Britain summer canceled for everyone. The special consultants of the UK government have in fact been "prescriptive" and invited to cancel any departure in view of the scenario no deal Brexit which Downing Street is working on.
This was reported by the Politico online newspaper, specifying that Eddie Lister, one of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's closest senior advisers, sent numerous emails Thursday night to special advisers (of temporary civil servants paid by the government for specialist advice to ministers) to announce to them that each annual rest period is to be considered canceled until October 31, 2019 – deadline established by Johnson for the “do or die” exit from the European Union, life or death. Those who have already faced expenses for their imminent departures will be compensated for the money already spent. End of message.
Most of the government's front-line advisers have already canceled their plans to leave, say a dozen sources consulted by Politico.
"These are very serious moments for the country - declared an official among those questioned - and we are incredibly privileged to have these jobs so we must meet our commitments".
A diplomatic way to make the best of a bad situation because the rumors collected by Politico actually indicate that the move against the SpAds he suffers from a punitive approach by the close circle of collaborators of the new premier who willingly, reports the newspaper, would give a "kick" to officials deemed too privileged. Be that as it may, the move seems to unleash new pressure on the ruling class of the presidency, which has already complained about the treatment suffered by the other chief of staff Dominic Cummings. All of this would only make the atmosphere in the Tory house more tense.
Among other things, it seems that Boris Johnson is planning to lead regular Q&A sessions on Facebook, responding live in video streaming. Boris Johnson's face to face with the British will be called “People's PMQs” (translatable with questions to the premier). A communication of direct democracy in a populist sauce judging by the first Facebook live appointment on Wednesday evening, dedicated to the intention of the British prime minister to shake up immigration laws.
