If my opinions are broadly left-wing - which they are - people who have different opinions are likely to be of the right aren't they? Anyway the people I'm referring to - those pouring scorn on Thunberg - are of the right. I'm not aware of anyone from the left criticising her. I just don't understand why she attracts so much bile, when I would have thought she should be universally applauded.

I’m not convinced that positions over (say) climate change or Brexit are matters that can be divided across traditional left/right lines.

Hes done a good job of advising him. They make a cracking team!

If he takes a book out of the teflon Don stateside, he'll just make a massive claim to appease the leave voters and throw words like unpatriotic, traitors,etc... in for good measure

Can the drama get an more dramatic? If he has any decency, surely Boris will walk. Think he will only go kicking and screaming. How does he get from here to having a general election? If he can't he has to go. This whole thing is shocking the rest of the world never mind the U.K. Somebody in Hollywood has a film lined up.

Boris and decency in the same sentence!! We are an embarrassment of a country all thanks to a referendum based on bullshit and propaganda. So so so worth it!
