NHS staff shortages, the country becoming essentially ungovernable, sliding to the bottom of the G7, the pound collapsing (twice), Northern Ireland peace under threat, facing a united EU27 with a chaotic and unprepared negotiating team, entire industries making escape plans, farmers panicking at lost subsidies. Seems like "Project Fear" should really be renamed "Project Pretty Much Bang On."

I thought I made it clear I just told you to "f**k off". However as you are at the sasguru end of CUK intelligence scale, let me put it another way.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostAnd they delivered a SNP majority. Something no other UK party managed. What are you trying to tell me?
If the SNP really want independence then put up a candidate in every UK constituency.Comment

I think there will be a new Tory leader. The kids love Korbyn, and he comes across as likeable, honest bloke who sticks to his principles. The Tories need someone who the people relate to. I fear that may be Boris.
Personally I like Anna Soubry - I heard her 'in action' at the IPSE policy conference and she was very impressive. But she is an adamant Bremainer which may be a problem.
150/1 at Bet365 - got to be worth a fiver.Comment

We can be sure Boris dos not stick to his principles. He wanted UK to vote to remain, then when DC stepped down he was going to be the person who campaigned to leave.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostI think there will be a new Tory leader.

The leave vote put paid to all that.
Boris is just another MP who put themselves first. Of course, as you say, people do relate to him.Comment
