    Of course not. That will need at least a week of shame.

    Those are actors paid by Farage to upset people who enjoy Mrs Brown’s Boys and list ale as a hobby.

    I guess you think Germany in the 1930's is pertinent.

    <laugh> Deluded. I thought you would come out with that rubbish? The wooden top had nothing to do with it, although he will claim he did. It was backbencher Tories that made Boris change his mind. All Starmer did was get wind of it and Bring it up.

    Mmm we might have to disagree a bit here re Chris Patten. Back in the day he made he wasn’t that liked. Although I will have a listen.

    If Starmer got wind of it, why didn't Johnson? Just yesterday he said that he'd considered it long and hard and decided that it was right - in doing so saying that it contributed £900m, which is massively wrong (i.e. a lie).

    Full credit to them for changing their minds though. I do feel it wasnt really the best climate to continue with such plans and the public would react to it (well decent people anyway). Good work Starmer.

    Do you think BJ should have stuck to his guns or do you think they have now made the correct decision?

    He is in a difficult position. Credit that he did a U-turn but the usual lefty mob are now knocking him for the thing they wanted him to do. We all know that Boris will get crap whatever he does (from certain people).

    How is changing your mind lying? You need get a grip Stroller. You are sounding like Starmer... negative ( watch out for that word as it will be used a lot from now on ...and ‘dull’).

    Well, at least Boris will definitely stick to his guns on Northern Ireland. Definitely definitely not going to be any checks between N Ireland and GB, right?

    If the Govt happen to publish a paper saying there will be, Boris was either lying, or in complete ignorance about the issue he based his whole election campaign on. Or, of course, both.

    Bizarre. You are a very strange man, Ellers. And for that reason, I'm out.

    I did say full credit in my other post. It was possibly a very damaging policy to pursue and regardless of why they changed stance, at least they have. As accusing Starmer of being negative, I'm yet to find anyone, anywhere in this country who can describe what has happened in the uk in a positive manner. If they do then they are really horrible nasty people, surely you can see that.

    Not strange to point out that the u-turn was a good thing, right? We shouldn't then start knocking him and calling him a liar For changing his mind?
    He cannot win whatever he does? Except on Brexit and an election :emoticon-0100-smile

    Your twisting it now Bob... go back to first position and start again. Starmer was negative in what he said yesterday and fell to bits when Boris told him so.

    I agree with you Ellers. Something, someone or many influenced a change of mind/direction. I dont class that as a lie either. We have seen Boris lie many times. Theres plenty of video evidence to prove that. This was not one of those occasions though. The right outcome in the end.
