    I think that’s right, but it was such an obvious lie because no one really believed he could magic up a solution that no one else had seen. He did it with most of his focus on the EU, just as he did when he said we wouldn’t extend the leave deadline in 2019. People stopped taking him literally because they knew he would have to extend. When he did, the media criticised him, but the majority of the electorate credited him for trying.

    Yeah that’ll work <laugh> trade and business works through deception and lack of trust. Not good relations and understanding needs <doh>

    Nobody will believe him when he tries to suggest the uk’s position is strong as he’s made it obvious he’s full of **** and bluster. Reputation is paramount in any business and Boris is absolutely destroying the uks.

    Yes my dear goldie... now if this was his only lie then i would say he's done well to keep his cards close.

    in any case, how come he's come out with the truth now we haven't even finished negotiating (have we even begun?). It seems more like it was to oust May than because he was playing a blinder poker game

    Everything Johnson
    I'm under no illusions that 'no deal' was always and still is the preferred option for this government.

    I guess that's they key point right? Promised 31 October, failed. Promised no NI / GB border failed. Promising a great deal for the UK ... let's see, but there should be no great surprise when he rows back on that too.

    Spot on Goldie she went because she was weak. Some people just do not understand how politics or political language works.

    Yeah she should have just lied and kicked the can down the road a bit more. That’s the strength of leadership we demand.

    That’s actually nearly correct Staines. It’s all to do with political language.

    We want a deal and the red lines appear to be no EU regulatory control or judicial oversight and no encroachment into fishing waters

    Watford all this lies/lying/lair is comical. It’s how politicians say things or don’t that you need to understand. We all knew about the customs check with NI. I can’t remember who on here said it would be impossible not to have checks. I also remember back then posters accusing Boris of lying so why all the outrage now? Goldie is spot on. If we get a good deal with the EU he will be a hero. I believe he will because his Premiership relies on it. His majority as you say are brexitiers won’t stand for a crap deal.

    What utter condescending bollocks. The ****ing language ffs. The fat mop **** is a liar who has been regularly sacked for lying. He’ll come back waving a bit of paper like Chamberlain and sycophants all over the country will convince themselves it’s a great deal that is somehow better than what we had because the alternative is admitting they’ve been duped. The retort will be that we’re rubbishing the great deal because we hate Johnson/Brexit/Tories.

    He needs to pay his backers back after all so no crying off with a doctor’s note for at least a few years.

    Everyone is painfully used to him already thanks to his shambolic handling of Corona. Congratulations on the win.

    Good one. The irony being we’re the far right nationalists.
