PM’s session for ‘party activists’ this morning: cabinet members make up the numbers

Published: December 8, 2014 at 12:46pm

The prime minister held a Sunday morning session at a Labour club this morning, and nobody turned up. The room was stuffed full of government big cheeses and a few stray cats.

The tiny audience is dominated by five cabinet members: the deputy prime minister and Minister for Europe, the Environment Minister, the Tourism Minister, the Social Policy Minister and the Health Secretary. There are also Labour MPs Deo Debattista and Silvio Parnis, Malta Freeport chairman Aaron Farrugia, and standing ‘inconspicuously’ at the back (I’ve marked him in red), the prime minister’s head of secretariat, Keith ‘Kasco’ Schembri.

    It looks like another emergency cabinet meeting with Alfred Sant and KMB benevolently looking down from the wall.

    Oh, another one of those circus cabinet meetings in the pjazza tar-rahal? What happened to those, actually?

    Where are the 36,000?

    • A+ says:

      Unfortunately, it is too difficult for 18,000 to shift

      • Watcher of lies says:

        That’s not what many I know say. They shifted. Where are the hundreds who used to post every day, every hour on The Times during the election campaign and for the first year after?

        Apart from Eddy Privitera and the usual hardcore suspects, all have disappeared. But apart from this, I know real grass roots Laburisti who now see the PN as their next vote and I am being honest and true about this statement.

    Was that the smallest room they could find?

    It was held in a room with pictures of the most glorious leaders on the wall.

    That room looks like a Tunisian tea shop, minus a carpet.

    Hope that spot light has the right filter.

    The important thing is that he has his trusty podium.

    Are they playing Bingo?

    Are there other European prime-ministers who have so much time on their hands?

    The bendy marshmallow lectern strikes again.

    ”Enemalta – Shanghai Electric talks concluded”

    Will the DOI or the Minister tell us what this is (not).

    The government has given new meaning to government dealings requiring a fine tooth comb AND an extra strong magnifying glass.
