Re: Tory Watch
At least four others on this Board and the guy who tweeted it will have noticed. So about six in total not including the millions of Mirror readers.Currywurst and Chips wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 2:12 pm Smart move by BJ, half mill and barely anyone will notice

Along the lines of other Tory sleaze scandals do you reckon it'll be a: CON +1 or a CON +2?

This has been hailed as a big success by Liz Truss .... her big deal reached with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. What is their combined population?
The headline is also misleading. The reality is more like this quote from the article:
The deal otherwise echoes that between the UK and the EU, struck last Christmas Eve, with some improvements in the margins
It's more like chickens scratching a barren soil for a little grain, if lucky.

Re: Tory Watch
Meanwhile Boris Johnson doesn't give a XXXX about the consequences of his bigly hailed "successful Brexit deal" on the basis of which he became the PM.
He made his chief negotiator David Frost a Lord in June 2020 .....
And now Lord Frost is bleating that the NI protocol he negotiated is unsustainable!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-57324713
Yet it was he who negotiated it and the outcome of his negotiations were hailed by Johnson as a SUCCESS!
So much so that he based his 2019 General Election campaign on it!

Re: Tory Watch
And while all the proverbial s**t is beginning to hit the fan, the Brexiteers' guru is finding other ways for getting his devotees to finance his life style.

Obviously his play for power and glory through association with Donald Trump is no longer the ticket he had hoped for.

Re: Tory Watch
On 26th of May Dominique Cummins gives 7 hours of evidence to the HOC select committee which exposes Johnson's inadequacies .....
On 29th of May Johnson finds some way to compromise Catholic wedding rules to pull a stunt and get married despite twice divorced.
Oh what lovely photos of them frolicking in the garden of No.10 with daisy chains in the hair. :-)
It certainly pushed Cummins' evidence off the head lines !!!

Re: Tory Watch
And there you have it. Putting everything else to one side, I just can't see what Starmer can do to recover this ground. His best option would probably be to sit tight in the hope that Johnson does something that completely destroys his own reputation with electorate.

So Johnston is out of touch with ordinary people & Less Honest
According to this . It sounds like he is already destroying his own reputation .
