• Tim's broken promises were mentioned multiple times in each of DMs, FA HQ, and in the Cabinet office.

• Escade's Somy-bashing has occured and been talked about in DMs, the Cabinet office, and the Cabinet forum.
  
• Tim's propensity to present nuclear ultimatums has been talked about in DMs, FA HQ, and forum PM.
  
• Escade's vindictiveness has been mentioned in DMs and in the cabinet office
  

So as it turns out, yes, the team has seen all of these at some point. I urge you to not get stuck on this one item and consider it "the solution", but rather look at the broader scope of things. These are systemic and intrinsic problems. I'm trying to present them as honestly as I can (which includes my failures - yes, I could and should have addressed these things better and differently, as I've stated many times). My reputation is not unscathed by me doing this, and I knew that going into it.

Meanwhile, Escade is currently on a tirade in various places seen and unseen, proudly extolling everything that she's done for the region and claiming things that are absurd conspiracies at best and outright demonstrable lies at worst. I'll leave it to you to judge what's going on here.

I don't think the problem is lack of communication about the issues individually; I think the problem is lack of communication about the overarching consequences of these issues. Every minister has expressed surprise at this motion, and I don't think they're all lying about that. I believe that you acted fully in good faith, but I think that you should have brought up the whole 'this cabinet isn't working due to all the issues, I feel like I want to submit a motion of no confidence' among the cabinet first. It's possible, or maybe even likely, that the response to that would have been negative, and nothing would have been fixed, but at least then there would have been less ambiguity about whether these issues could be fixed. Right now, it feels like you hadn't exhausted all the options when it comes to making this cabinet work before submitting this motion.
