When I think of Accountants I think of the Monty Python sketch. Your ideal job is an accountant, I didn’t want to be an account I wanted to be a Lion Tamer.

The story I saw on the internet (so it must be true) is that the Vote Leave group wanted to bounce Johnson into appointing Cain as Chief of Staff by suggesting to Kuenssberg that he was resisting the appointment because of Carrie. Obviously counting on him being a macho, chauvinist Bullingdon Boy, and being so affronted by the suggestion that he was under the thumb that he would appoint Cain "to show who's boss".
Johnson finally twigged that Cummings was attempting to shaft him despite Old Bozza standing by his man after the Barnard Castle fiasco. To be fair, I think I would be hopping mad as well.
I dare say this is *all* nonsense but it does have its merits as a theory and rather cements my view that Kuenssberg is a court journalist acting as an instrument for these pillocks.
So... 48 days to No Deal, with Christmas meaning it's more like 38. It's all going rather well, isn't it? Almost like they don't know what the fuck they are doing.

I an not an Accountant, but until recently my job was part of the Finance function and people seemed to assume I was an Accountant. Or Actuary.
I was once allocated a project on a Friday afternoon and after a briefing I found the Accountants and Actuaries were off the next week. I was the sole person on a call with the Accountants and Actuaries from Deloitte on the Monday morning and they spoke a language I didnt understand and needed answers that day :-O. I somehow bluffed my way through that week

I'm both an accountant and a recovering auditor. I didn't have the long division for actuarialising, thankfully.

Auditors - shudder.
Find irrelevant problems than you need to spend time on action plans while completely missing the glaring issues that should be tackled

Just leave them a couple of easy to find (& fix) issues so they don't dig too deep

He won't do a call to Biden. He may do some kind of half-hearted acceptance of the inevitable with a promise to come back in 2024 to "right a wrong".

Gotta love auditing, but I found it to dull and went into tax instead.
