Forget all the detail, Brexit etc, how do you actually think Boris is performing against what you expected? Better? Worse? As expected?

I have not heard a word from him so hard to judge, I assume he is working hard on a Brexit deal....

Bit of a bad question, really.

A person who naturally disagrees with him, and expects him to do terribly, who thinks he's do a terrible job would have to answer 'as expected'
A person who naturally agrees with him, and expects him to do well, who thinks he's doing a good job would also have to answer 'as expected'

From his opening speech to Parliament, I assume he's found the magic money tree that the Tories kept saying Labour would need.

Tories discovered that you can borrow at very low interest rates for a sustained period, like every other country does?!? Now, don't get me wrong; i'm not a fan of Comrade Corbyn, but you cannot argue that Labour's spending is "reckless" then u-turn later. Embarrassing.

Not a lot, corbyn lib dems and the rest of the shower of shit

It's deliberately vague so you can interpret it however you wish.

Worst Prime Minister since...well the last one.

Cameron led this country to the dogs and May and Johnson are merely kicking its festering carcass in the ribs to simulate some kind of essence of life.

This. My expectations were very low, and he is living up to that.

I'm really intrigued as to what the original expectations were by those that say he is now doing worse than expected!

But for Boris, this is a win-win.

He doesn't do too well, it's the cards he was dealt; May was a disaster, EU didn't play ball etc etc.

Boris does well, it was all him, his vision and his belief in the country.

May handled the whole thing poorly, though I dispute that was entirely her fault. I felt she was put into her position by brexiteers more so than anything else.

The arse end of Hangleton
Er, it's recess!

Only Parliament not government.

As for BJ - hard to tell - some good promises but no detail on how they will be funded nor any delivery yet. Although to fair it takes a while to recruit 20000 police officers !
