    You don't know that, Strolls. You have a suspicion he may be lying. Presumably the truth will out in time.

    In the meantime, the debate goes on about the role of the dark and democratically unaccountable body, the ECJ, in the NI protocol. They should not, alone, have the final say in any future disputes. That would be unacceptable.

    Isn’t Sunak the one responsible for higher taxes?

    In a speech in November Frost said that Brexit would fail without tax cuts and major reforms. The two are inextricably linked, in his head at least.
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...t-warns-Brexit-FAIL-unless-UK-cuts-taxes.html

    Anyway, who cares what an unelected former career bureaucrat says or does? Zero actual experience of running a business, closest he’s got is 3 years as CEO of the whisky trade association. When he had this fearless captain of industry hat on he noted that ‘leaving the Single Market would be fraught with economic risk’. Seems he thought the only alternative to staying in was to be a low cost, low regulation economy.

    Meh, bye bye Frosty.

    It’s going too well for it to be a factor.

    There are several Tory Remainers that have become ardent Brexiteers. Frost is one as you say, Truss is another. Truss says she voted Remain because of damage she thought there would be to the economy - now she sees she was wrong. The economy is managing well outside the EU allowing for the pandemic - ie it's at least as stable as France or Germany.

    Sunak told the Times earlier this month that he plans to cut income tax. We'll see. There's an interesting article by Clare Foges in the Times today, using a football analogy for our leaders and dividing them into star strikers and defenders. Thatcher was a striker, but eventually the electorate brought in Major as a dull defender. Blair was a striker, but the electorate eventually settled for defender Gordon Brown. Cameron was a smooth operating striker, but was eventually replaced by central defender Theresa May. Boris came in to score goals, but now the electorate are tiring of him and looking for defence stability.

    Step in Sunak...

    As soon as I saw Independent I didn’t bother reading.
    Even the Guardian has become a comic with its latest Boris story. Like a few on here can’t accept Brexit and don’t like the Tories.

    They've both lost any sense of objectivity and seem to be intent on putting out false or unverified news stories and rumours to try to undermine Johnson's government. They can be enjoyed by a fawning minority, but they don't educated the rest of us.

    Firstly I edited it because I sent it before I had finished.
    Secondly I was replying to Watford when you decided to have a pop at me. I haven’t even responded to you of late. I then hit back with the football thread quote, which by the way is true. You also told me in the past that you debate on other sites, hence my comments.
    If you can’t take it fella don’t give it. Now run along and stick yourself to a fence.

    She will be turning in her grave at some of these idiots. Funny they all say they are Thatcherites but not many act like her.
