Certains l’adorent, d’autres sont prêts à démissionner s’il revient à Downing Street. Dans un nouveau coup de théâtre, Boris Johnson cherche vendredi à obtenir les parrainages nécessaires pour tenter de redevenir Premier ministre britannique.

En vacances aux Caraïbes, il n’est pas encore candidat, pas plus que Rishi Sunak, l’ancien ministre des Finances avec lequel il est à couteaux tirés. Mais les deux hommes semblent les mieux placés dans cette élection accélérée, interne au parti conservateur, qui doit accoucher d’un nouveau Premier ministre en une semaine maximum, après la démission de Liz Truss, dirigeante éphémère pendant 44 jours.

Alors que le pays aspire à la stabilité après plusieurs mois d’un très mauvais feuilleton politique mettant en scène dissensions, trahisons et incompétence, Boris Johnson, 58 ans, l’ancien héros charismatique du Brexit qui avait démissionné il y a trois mois et demi, désavoué après une série de scandales, préparerait son retour. 

“Boris Johnson dit aux conservateurs: je peux sauver le parti de l’anéantissement politique”, a titré sur toute sa Une le quotidien conservateur The Daily Telegraph. “Boris contre Rishi, le combat pour l’âme des Tories”, titre le Daily Mail, très pro-Johnson.

Un décompte officieux réalisé par le site Guido à la mi-journée comptait 58 députés pour Rishi Sunak, 54 pour Boris Johnson et 20 pour Penny Mordaunt, ministre des relations avec le Parlement. Il faut 100 parrainages d’ici lundi 14h00 pour pouvoir être candidat, sur 357 députés conservateurs. 

Week-end sanglant

Les tractations en coulisses vont bon train. Boris Johnson s’apprêterait à rentrer à Londres et le week-end promet d’être sanglant. Car “Boris”, les Britanniques généralement n’utilisent que son prénom tant il leur est familier, divise profondément.

Pour ses partisans, il est le seul à être légitime, ayant offert une majorité historique aux conservateurs lors des législatives de 2019. Formidable orateur, il a aussi gardé son aura auprès de milliers de membres du parti, qui pourraient avoir à se prononcer la semaine prochaine.

“Boris ou la faillite” a déclaré vendredi le secrétaire d’État à l’énergie Jacob Rees-Mogg. Le ministre de la Défense Ben Wallace, très populaire au sein de la base, a aussi dit “pencher” vers Boris, dans ce drame aux accents de plus en plus shakespeariens.

Mais de nombreux députés conservateurs ont en mémoire les fêtes arrosées à Downing Street durant les confinements anti-Covid, ses mensonges à répétition et son manque de discipline qui avaient sapé la confiance, conduisant à des dizaines de démissions au sein du gouvernement et à la sienne le 7 juillet.

“Il fait actuellement l’objet d’une enquête d’une commission parlementaire (…), il est presque 100 % certain que la commission des privilèges conviendra qu’il a trompé le Parlement”, a rappelé le député conservateur Richard Graham sur Times Radio.

Ce retour renverrait son parti “directement dans le pétrin dans lequel nous étions lorsqu’il était au pouvoir”, a commenté un autre élu.

“Gagner le soutien des députés est très loin d’être acquis, mais s’il y arrive, il sera presque très certainement Premier ministre”, selon The Times.

La base du parti est restée largement fidèle à Boris Johnson. Selon un sondage YouGov, 42% des membres du parti pensent qu’il peut être “un très bon” remplaçant de Liz Truss, et 21% un “assez bon” remplaçant. Rishi Sunak, qui avait perdu contre Liz Truss cet été, parfois considéré comme le traître ayant conduit au départ de Boris Johnson, est à 29% et 31%, Penny Mordaunt est à 20% et 34%.

Dans un contexte de crise économique et sociale, l’opposition travailliste, largement en tête dans les sondages, demande des élections législatives anticipées. Le parti centriste des libéraux-démocrates (“lib-dems”) veut bloquer la candidature de Boris Johnson, soulignant qu’il avait été reconnu coupable d’avoir enfreint la loi durant le “partygate”.

“Boris Johnson est le Berlusconi anglais”, a dénoncé Daisy Cooper, chef adjointe des “lib-dems”.

“Hasta la vista” avait conclu Boris Johnson en juillet, lors de sa dernière séance de questions au Parlement. “Mission largement accomplie, pour le moment”, avait-il ajouté.

Il rêve probablement de marcher dans les traces de son héros Winston Churchill, revenu au pouvoir en 1939. Mais Churchill avait attendu 10 ans, pas six semaines.

Two senior executives resign from Access Financial in a month Loop Jamaica

Access Financial Services Limited (AFS) is reporting the departure of another senior executive, the latest being its Chief Executive Officer, Frederick Williams.

The CEO will demit office on December 9, 2022, after assuming the role for a little over a year.

“AFS would like to take this opportunity to thank Williams for the diligence with which he executed his responsibilities and his contribution to the Company during his tenure. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours,” the company said in a notice via the Jamaica Stock Exchange earlier this week.

Access CEO Frederick Williams will demit office on December 9, 2022,

This is the second such shift in recent months in the executive ranks of the loans company as its marketing manager, Deveta McLaren, joined the staff of its competitor, Dolla Financial Services on October 3.

McLaren is now the Chief Strategy Officer for Dolla.

ASF executive chairman Marcus James recently attempted to dispel concerns that Dolla is also looking to acquire the company, advising shareholders at the company’s annual general meeting (AGM) that DFS’s intention which was outlined in a leaked letter to the media, was “nothing to consider.”

Deveta McLaren joined the staff of Access Financial’s competitor, Dolla Financial Services (DFS) on October 3.

Responding to questions about Dolla’s letter and talks of a possible takeover, James told attendees of the AGM that he had not received an offer that ASF could present to shareholders.

He further told shareholders that AFS is not looking to sell but is instead focused on aggressively growing its business loan portfolio and positioning itself to take advantage of expansion opportunities locally and internationally.

AFS, the larger of the two firms, became the first microcredit company to be licensed under the Micro Credit Act by the Bank of Jamaica on August 1, 2022. The licence enables AFS to provide microcredit services such as the granting of loans or business advisory services to individuals and MSMEs.

As of June 30, 2022, Access held a loans and advances portfolio of $4.65 billion; an increase of 12 per cent year over year, with total assets of $5.84 billion.

By comparison, as of September 30, 2022, DFS held a loan portfolio of $1.2 Billion with total assets of $1.4 billion.

Calls and messages to James by Loop News for a comment on the recent developments within Access Financial were unsuccessful.

Foot: Ribéry, ex star des Bleus et du Bayern, raccroche officiellement

L’ex-star de l’équipe de France et du Bayern Munich Franck Ribéry a officialisé vendredi la fin de sa carrière professionnelle, à 39 ans, en raison de douleurs persistantes à un genou, dans une vidéo diffusée sur les réseaux sociaux.

“La douleur à mon genou n’a fait qu’empirer et les médecins sont formels: je n’ai plus le choix, il faut que j’arrête de jouer. Je dois donc mettre un terme à ma carrière de joueur professionnel”, explique Ribéry, qui évoluait depuis l’été 2021 à la Salernitana, en 1re division italienne.

Ribéry, qui avait explosé en mondovision pendant le Mondial-2006 en portant les Bleus lors du huitième de finale gagné contre l’Espagne (3-1), met fin à 22 années de carrière, dont le sommet aura été la saison 2012-2013 avec le Bayern Munich, auteur cette année-là du triplé Championnat-Coupe-Ligue des champions. 

Il était d’ailleurs passé tout près du Ballon d’Or au terme de cette saison-là.

“Merci Franck!”, a lancé dans la foulée, et en français, le Bayern Munich sur son site. “Une véritable légende du FC Bayern quitte la grande scène du football, a écrit le club allemand. 

“C’est la fin d’un beau chapitre de ma vie”, ajoute Franck Ribéry dans la vidéo diffusée sur Instagram et Twitter, où il officialise cette retraite annoncée il y a quelques semaines par des médias.

Nouveau rôle à la Salernitana

“C’est la fin d’un chapitre, celui du joueur, mais pas la fin de mon histoire professionnelle, vous pouvez en être sûr. Alors je vous dis à très bientôt pour le début d’un nouveau beau chapitre”, conclut Ribéry, qui n’a plus joué depuis août.

Le club de Salerne a confirmé, dans un communiqué, avoir “résilié d’un commun accord la relation contractuelle avec Franck Ribéry”, arrivé à la surprise générale dans le petit club de Campanie après deux ans à la Fiorentina (2019-2021). 

Comme l’avait évoqué il y a quelques semaines la direction, la Salernitana confirme par ailleurs que Ribéry “continuera, dans un autre rôle, à faire partie du club”. 

“On va lui confier un rôle, celui qu’il voudra”, soit dans la direction soit dans l’encadrement technique entourant l’équipe de Serie A, avait affirmé le 9 octobre le patron du club italien Danilo Iervolino

Ribéry saluera les supporters samedi après-midi à l’occasion du match contre la Spezia, comptant pour la 11e journée de Serie A. 

“Le club le remercie pour sa passion et son dévouement au travail, pour avoir porté avec le plus grand respect le brassard de capitaine lors de la saison (dernière, ndlr) qui a mené au maintien historique en Serie A et pour avoir honoré au mieux les couleurs des Grenats”, ajoute la Salernitana.

Comment parler d’amour dans une langue qui a été victime, au cours de sa jeune histoire, du désamour de ceux qui la parlent ? S’il n’est pas facile de mettre côte à côte les termes « amour » et « langue créole », la musique arrive peu à peu à modifier notre rapport à l’expression des sentiments.

désir. Elle se rétracte avant de se laisser aller à un délectable
