Bojo will never do that not even if he was miles ahead in the polls, he will not do a May blunder. It all comes down to the opposition and as I pointed out remainers in the tories sitting on seats they could loose defecting or going independent. I have my doubt's there be any movement.

Jimbuna 08-02-19 05:29 AM

He mightn't have a choice in the matter soon. It'll be like turkeys voting for christmas.

STEED 08-03-19 03:43 AM

Just realized there is a matter we all over looked, if bojo goes for a no deal crash out he wlll have to pass a no deal budget though parliament so this too will cause big problems.

I hear from Sky news, newspapers review Nigel Farage is predicting two general elections in the next six months!

Boris Johnson could be facing defections or resignations from disgruntled Tory MPs after the party's defeat in the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election.

The new Prime Minister has been warned over the fragility of his leadership after his working majority was reduced to just one by the loss on Thursday.

He has now been told Conservative MPs who are in opposition to his hardline Brexit approach could quit.

It would appear some of the rats may well decide to jump from the sinking ship.

The party is over and the guests have sobered up, hard cold real life has hit them in the face. But hey all they got to do is crack open a another bottle of wine and get back to drunk punch everything is cool.

I doubt any tory remain mp on a small majority that could loose there sit will switch sides or go independent.

What planet is this woman living on? Judges are liberal and so is the law. Criminals are laughing all the way, Priti Patel is just another plonker headline grabbing and doing sod sweet all. Another useless person we could do without in power.

Priti Patel has said she wants criminals to "literally feel terror" at the thought of committing any offences in the UK.
I fail to see what is wrong with that statement and I base that opinion on having seen first hand the effect criminal offences all too often have on their victims.

The government is planning to create up to 10 free ports across the UK after Brexit.

They allow firms to import goods and then re-export them outside normal tax and customs rules.

The UK last had such zones in 2012 and Prime Minister Boris Johnson believes they could create jobs in "left-behind areas".

This could make a little difference should Brexit go ahead.

Labour said the move involved no new investment and could attract money launderers and tax dodgers.
A typical Labour response unfortunately.

Ten days of boris and I am already bored to death with him and his government. I suggest we put the animals of London Zoo in charge after all they will far more interesting. :)

Catfish 08-03-19 01:12 PM

A better idea would be to put certain politicians in cages together with certain animals of prey, and be sure not to forget the german ones please when you do so.

The magic money tree produces a windfall for the NHS now as bojo gives it a good shake.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49220911

Maybe we should all ask for some money as bojo is giving it away like there is no tomorrow.

Dear Prime Minster Johnson

As a humble ex police officer whom has done there bit for Queen and country, supported you throughout your political career and a hardline brexiteer I plead to you please give me some money.

I'm down too my last pack of four beers, please take pity on me a big time supporter of your wonderful exciting dynamic government. I'm not asking for much, just a half a million too help me though my pension years. I let you visit me for a media photo shoot that will boost your ratings even more.

Yours
Jimbo

Wrong, was a Labour Party member for almost a quarter of a century.

Quote:

Wrong, simply a believer in politicians honouring the referendum result which they overwhelmingly voted to do.

Quote:

Wrong, there are currently sixteen cases in my storage area.

Quote:

Really? your words and most certainly not mine.

Quote:

Nope, pretty much self sufficient in the financial department.

You really need to take stock of yourself if you don't want to lose that image of being a pseudo curmudgeon.

STEED 08-04-19 07:15 AM

Hey jim how the heck is bojo going to know the facts, after all hes a politician. :haha:
