Johnson continues to troll the country by appointing Peter Bone as deputy leader of the house. I don't know whether there's ever been a deputy leader before but it wasn't even a vacancy.
I wonder what new role he has for Jenny Tailyer.
There hasn't been a deputy leader of the commons since 2019. So it wasn't long ago that it was a "thing" but it is slightly odd that Johnson chooses now to re-instate it.
It may be that Johnson is rewarding loyalty by giving jobs to his followers and selecting roles where these idiots cannot do too much damage. The pay-off for the followers being a nice payoff when the next no. 10 incumbent inevitably kicks him to the back benches again.
