I wonder how optimistic he is about how long he'll manage to keep the role?
Maybe he will take an example from his boss and just dig his heels in, grimace - aka 'smile' and carry on regardless. It is outrageous that Rudd has had to go and May is still there saying 'oh I do understand why you had to resign, darling Amber...' when she knew just as much, if not more, and was also instrumental in it.

Oh, and is this really meant to be satire? (read to the bottom Loobylou)

It's really worth watching the extended clip for context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_wkO4hk07o" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I admire anyone who can stand up in front of hundreds of people and she's clearly had some coaching to help her do so which is admirable, but you have to question the coaching if it includes the advice to smile like a simpleton after every sentence.

There's an even longer clip from the start of her speech. The opening parts are toe-curling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gygpvd9_Ra0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Perhaps now that the human shield has finally had enough of standing in the way of the sh*t storm the attention will shift to the real culprit. The News Thump article is, as usual, absolutely spot on.

Local elections this weeks folks...an opportunity to express your feelings... :D
