He's a fundamental brexiteer 3/1 to be the next tory (b)leader Gove next at 8. This man should not be trusted never mind his place of birth or footy team.

You are right but he was not at the centre of the debate prior the referendum or post referendum, although he may well have played a role somewhere, but he is not the public face of Brexit a la Farage, Johnson or Mogg. Having said this, he is the guy now responsible for steering RMS Britannica through the post Brexit hurricane.

Another story of the heartless immigration policy. Read and listen I'd be amazed if anyone could justify this and many others similar.
Bumi Thomas: the Glasgow-born singer given two weeks to leave the country

"Thomas was born in Glasgow in June 1983 after the Thatcher government’s British Nationality Act had come into force in January of that year; it stated that children born to parents from the colonies were no longer entitled to automatic citizenship. The letter informed Thomas – who has lived in the UK solidly since she was 17 – that she had 14 days to leave the country or make herself subject for deportation or detainment."

You have t love the Daily Express, that organ of the perennial " hardest winter in a century" . Now it's " Boris' tactics have forced the EU to back down." They're at it again. It reminds me of this young woman from Berlin whose mother said, even as they could hear the RedArmy artillery " We will win, The Fuhrer said we will."

This has possibly been on here before, but it has popped up on my Facebook page today.
Concerns that unpublished Russian report.

Very interesting and an utter disgrace that the British public are blind and deaf to what’s going on. Now Cummings is busily touring British secret installations with a view to “reorganisation” - in another words handing all details over to Putin ......
I continue to despair of the future of this place but don’t have the funds to move anyway .....
 
What I don't quite get is the relative silence from the opposition on the Russia report. I can only assume that the feeling is that now is not the time. It seems more or less certain that Putin funded Leave via Aaron Banks. Channel 4 had an expose of it a long while back.

Just my opinion, but I think it is extremely difficult for the opposition to go in too heavy, on any topic, at a time when lives are still being lost to the virus, as Johnson and the media spin it and show Labour in a bad light.
I do think, though, that it is time for Starmer to use the word “lie” when refuting Johnson’s ridiculous claims, but presenting it in a way such as “Either the RH gentleman doesn’t know what he is talking about or, if he does, he is telling a lie”. This is where the gloves need to come off and giving an either/or situation where it is known that Johnson is lying, there shouldn’t be any issues with him being called a liar.
