It's the old Tory in me coming through
I get what your saying 100%. I don't agree 100%, but I get it. Compared to Boris he was 'Prime Ministerial'. He acted like a leader of a country (you don't have to agree with him or his policies; I am just saying the way he came across), rather than a lying, cheating, chancer, buffoon.
With hindsight and the last 3+ years, do I now agree with what he stood for? No, I don't. But one thing about hindsight is that it makes decisions easier and clearer.

I'm not disagreeing really, but, as I said, it's not difficult to look better than Boris

For me Cameroon looked and sounded more like an old-school Etonian, Boris shows what happens when the English Public School System arms a 'lying, cheating, chancer, buffoon' with limitless levels of self-belief

How much talent are we wasting by managing to select most of our political and business leaders from such a limited gene-pool?
(and I don't exclude other parties completely here either)

Yeah, that’s how I said it. Curly perm and all.

Can we get Fergie in as the next Labour Leader?
I would love seeing him giving Boris the hairdryer treatment >>>

Fantastic display of pro-EU flags, hats, banners and T shirts at the Last Night of the Proms!

Good work Bath for Europe and all the other groups who gave out over 50,000 flags at the various venues.

Two things
Labour need to offer a clear simple understandable united non-nuanced strong (add your own adjective) policy on Brexit

19% of Labour voters distrust random Johnny Foreigners more than, not just the Tories, but these Tories led by Boris

Putting this here because it ties in with my next link. 2/3rds of Americans now think HICC is a crisis or a serious problem, and way more than half want action on it straight away: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/sep/15/americans-climate-change-crisis-cbs-poll

But they've got this dangerous idiot standing in the way, who has said HICC is a Chinese hoax: https://www.theguardian.com/comment...nuts-impeachment-25th-amendment-2020-election

And Buffoon, as we all know, was a Remainer on whether to exit the EU, right upto the time of campaigning. And we all know he changed his mind because he thought it would be better for his career. Well so did David Cameron: https://www.theguardian.com/politic...mmed-for-horrendous-mistake-brexit-referendum

This is Stephen Nolan on Radio 5 Live making mincemeat of Lucy Harris of the Brexit Party.

Boris refuses to take part in joint press conference with the leader of Luxembourg after being booed by protestors.

Luxembourg's leader then continued alone.

Thoughts on this: poor form from Boris or poor from from Luxembourg? It does seem deliberately provocative...

If it's just because if booing then its Boris whi should be ashamed. The people who he is hurting have every right to take this chance to voice their disapproval.

If there was threat of violence or something I could understand.

What should the Luxembourg PM have done? Thrown the empty lectern in a skip to save Boris' blushes?

It's Boris who wants throwing in a skip imo.

Apparently Boris’ team asked for the lecterns to be moved indoors, but there wasn’t room for all the press, so it stayed outside. Johnson bottled it, and his lies about the success of the negotiations were duly exposed.
