    91% of Tories favour Johnson. Quelle surprise!

    Four weeks before the 2017 general election YouGov showed the Tories with a 19% lead. I seem to remember it didn't quite work out like that.

    With this amount of support for Boris I'm surprised you have not managed to bump into more of them, I told you your 'Tory contacts" were odd bods and not representative of actual Tory voters.

    We had remainer May last time with her disastrous care proposals, it won't happen again.

    Strange how things work out, all of those remainer MPs reneging on their earlier promises could actually give the Tories a large majority for the next five years and an ERG type Brexit. Poetic justice. :emoticon-0100-smile

    More nonsense coming up from Johnson again today I see. Visits the flooded areas again for a photoshoot, but will not talk to the journalists from the papers that are deeply involved in covering the disaster for the local population. Extracts from his speech that he is to give later have been issued to the press. He is now reduced to obscene jokes. While people are discussing his lack of taste in such matters, it certainly diverts attention away from the lack of policy on so many matters that he should be talking about.

    Tesla’s boss Elon Musk has said Brexit uncertainty played a role in the firm’s decision to build its first European factory in Germany rather than the UK.

    The billionaire entrepreneur revealed that the firm’s European battery plant would be built on the outskirts of Berlin.

    Musk said: “Brexit made it too risky to put a gigafactory in the UK.”

    So there we are, a company of the future steering clear of the UK because of Brexit. No large investment that relies on parts and labour from the EU will be made unless the current custom union/single is brought back.

    He was always known as being lazy expecting others to do his job for him when he was London Mayor. Working round the clock he says, when it is obvious to even the most loyal Boris fan that he has only just got round to realising there is a problem. It is little wonder he has been told to stay away from local journalists who might ask the wrong questions. Still as he wanders around the general public get to have their say.

    He managed to be re-elected, quite a feat in a firm Labour city. He's a likeable cheeky chappy, very popular with the public.

    ITV has some footage of Johnson speaking to residents in Doncaster about the flooding. When Tory MPs chose him as their leader in the summer, some of them thought he had a magic touch with voters. There doesn’t seem to be much evidence of that from the video footage we’ve seen of him today. Norman Wisdom was also a likeable cheeky chappy, but he was as accident prone as Johnson, hardly fit to lead the country.

    Poor old Corbyn has had a bad day in Scotland. He's been heckled as a terrorist lover, changed his mind on the SNP independence referendum and finally slapped down by his paymaster McCluskey. McCluskey ordered the shadow cabinet to keep quiet about the confusing second referendum and reverse calls to allow more free movement. McCluskey is already talking about times after Corbyn loses another election. Who needs friends like that?

    Just wait for the BBC/news shots, they'll be filmed downwards to make it look like a massive crowd are there.

    It's right out of the Donald Trump playbook, it's disgraceful what our politics has been reduced to.
