Boris Johnson On May's Brexit

[Khandro]

He seems to be one of the few with a clear message;

[Zacs-Master]

Strange how his messages seem to 'bend' with the situation tho, isn't it.

[tonyav]

Boris for PM.

[jim360]

Didn't he vote for the deal literally just last week?

[jno]

a May-Corbyn deal will leave Boris struggling; but he can devote the rest of his career to promoting Turkish EU membership, as he has done before..

[tonyav]

a May-Corbyn deal

A marriage made in hell !

[youngmafbog]

He does because Dictator May wont listen to anything.

[tonyav]

Corbo does have a lot of respect though !

With Boris as best man.

Chief usher, aog.

A May Corbyn Deal might leave Corbyn struggling. That’s why it’s potentially a smart move. Labour had tried desperately so far effectively (and it had been effective) to ... not do anything much.
Now Corbyn risks being one of the architects of a dodgy Brexit no one really wants.

[youngmafbog]

He does however have plenty of 'get out of jail free' cards.

All he needs to do is say May wont agree to meet Labour's red lines, which if she does risks May being branded even worse (if that is possible).

Appears he is also nattering to the SNP.

There's been an almighty rush for volunteers to give her away.

[tonyav]

LOL, I put my name at the top of the list.

jno; That's a silly hatched-job written by Boris' enemies, all politicians are undergoing the most extraordinary times in modern history. The situation is changing on a daily basis and the brightest among us have to continually reassess the situation and adjust their views accordingly.
Changing one's mind is not the same as telling lies.

Ann Widdicombe has observed that these talks are between the worst Prime Minister since Anthony Eden and the worst Labour leader ever.Sums it all up for me.

[JF85]

Far from being a hatchet job, I found the article relatively charitable. His lies are notorious, but all politics is about bending facts to present a story. No news there, then.

What if we were to scale up his misadventures to a prime ministerial scale? £50 million plus wasted on a bridge acreoss the Thames, for example. Huge holes in the accounts that are not explainable. First class trips to California and contracts awarded on the sly. Despite warnings from the outset that the public would not be willing to pay, Boris committed millions of their money. Anybody seen the bridge?

Water cannon. Remember them? Boris bought a few for London despite them not being legal in the city and of highly questionable value even if they were allowed. I can't be bothered looking it up, but I believe he had CD players fitted (that's the bit for which I don't have evidence) before selling them for scrap (that's not in question).

And now he has decided that seeking convictions for sexual offences against children is a waste of police money (I won't sink to his language. I suspect Cameron's use of a dead pig is nothing compared to Johnson's, but I don't move in those circles so I am only guessing).

Can anyone remember why Cameron had to sack staff early doors in his government? I'm just wondering if they are perhaps connected.

Yes, then, is my answer to the question you forgot to ask. Johnson is constant in his belief that he is God's gift, and constant in proving that he isn't. A politician who makes May and Corbyn look a more appealing prospect is going some.

Boris before the referendum:
“It’s government policy to accelerate Turkish accession.”
"I don’t mind whether Turkey joins the EU"

Boris after the referendum:
“I didn’t say anything about Turkey in the referendum campaign. I didn’t say a thing about Turkey.”

That's not changing his mind. That's lying.

Many turncoats voted for May's deal last time. One wonders what they thought they were achieving. But Johnson is spot on regarding the May/Corbyn Remainer partnership. One can ony hope they fail to agree on how bad a remain situation to go for.
