Oddly enough, I was thinking that today may have been the first time we had seen a cabinet secretary just vote no / revolt on Heathrow even with CR still in place, go against the 3 / whip line and still remain FS.
I think he didn't want to waste that on the airport vote, which like he has said is not likely to proceed anyway (court challenges, future governments etc) so why waste his new found way of tormenting May on a nothing vote.
Speaking cabinet bickering, Liz Truss was the latest one to wade in...

She took a shot at Gove:

Treasury minister Liz Truss has a joke at colleague Michael Gove's expense as she criticises regulations that get in the way of people enjoying their lives.
In a speech in London, she suggests that proposed controls on wood-burning stoves - or wood-burning Goves as she calls them - are symptomatic of the "hot air" coming out of the Department for the Environment.
In its clean air strategy published last month, Mr Gove's department said it wanted to encourage the use of cleaner stoves and certain types of kindling as well as giving councils the power to set local limits.

She then took swipes at other male members:

That combined with swipes at Doughnut eating and obesity seem like swipes at remain turned leaver Hunt.
Swipes also at Javid and Williamson who seem to have done the same and sympathy for Hammond who has to find money for all this "increased budgeting".
Oh, and the macho nature of government.
So she got her shots in, now I think it is high time for a fight within the Johnson family so that we can turn this Jerry Springer cabinet into a Maury Povich family split.
The brunt of her attack was saved for the bc / illegitimate offspring of the cabinet, Michael Gove but she laid it on pretty thick for the rest.
Less Hammond of course, who is her boss after all.
In some circles, many would call May her ultimate boss. But of course most of us don't believe in Narnia.
You know as much as I have criticized May, if I were in the cabinet / an MP, I would do the same as every other member ; trash the living crap out of her, either through frustration or an ego boost / thrill seeking and then glare her down and ask her what the hell she was going to do about it.
Good times.
Odds on next cabinet member to rip the rest a new one / humiliate May? What does everyone think?
