I reckon about 10% of what he has said is actually attainable, mostly by reversing Tory government policies from the last 10 years !

Handily forgetting everything Boris has ever done in his career then?
Why do I think there is going to be a lot of 'explaining in simple terms' to Johnson
I actually don't think that's the case. I don't think he understands or tries to understand anything - A bit like the ones in class at school. They don't need to listen or learn. They just get someone else to do their homework for them and ''Blagg it '' from then on

well, I suppose that as the last lot failed to get the ruddy brexit mess sorted there’s not much point in clinging onto them. New broom and all that ?

Like any new government I’m interested in what they can do now, rather than what the various cabinet members have said or done previously.
There’s such a small majority, I’m not expecting them to do much - but I’d hope they can be more effective than the May administration.

Expelled from Boris's flat earth club for telling the truth....
So. The EU won’t budge. Parliament won’t allow no deal. How will he take you out of the EU on 31.10?

Lots of divisions in the previous Cabinet, Boris looks like he is clearing almost EVERYONE out ! so much for Compromise and Negotiation !

Bring the deal back a 4th time, put on a posh Etonian accent, try and claim you changed something when you've changed nothing and believe.
Either that or throw NI under a bus, call an election and hope English exceptionalism will carry you through

From what I gather Labour are being quite cute. They support a referendum and will be a remain party is what I gathered from this afternoon’s comments. Shame about Corbyn as I reckon they’d be on a sure fire winner if a General Election was called. My gut feeling is that a referendum would end up with a remain vote. I know I will be rightly flamed as we are a democracy and should definitely leave but no way should it be a no deal Brexit so remain would be the better option. 
Maybe I have misinterpreted what I have been hearing, happy to be corrected.

By trickery. He gets the EU to rebrand itself as the EU27 + The UK.
We will still be in the EU but all the people who believe in Boris will again just accept his lies.

Yes was very surprised at the £39bn quote as it will be very difficult to spin that one if he fails. In fact much of what he promised will be difficult to spin if it fails as there weren't any grey areas, it was all black and white.
He's got balls I’ll give him that!

With Raab and Priti Patel, this is now the most right wing cabinet since the 80s. Huge gamble.

If i'm seeing a comedian, I want them to not be dull and have a personality. If someone is running the country, i'd rather them not be a useless, clueless, racist, philandering bigot.
Horses for courses, I guess.

Not forgetting Cummings, who has been previously found in contempt of the HoC and heavily involved with the Brexit Party.

I can believe that you've probably lost interest in it now, but since you were so quick to use your moderator rights to happily update the title of someone else's thread with a leaving date the moment TM announced it, I just thought you would have taken responsibility for the outcome of your actions and ensure the thread title was changed each time the leaving date was changed
Would you like it changed then? 23:00 31st October 2019 ?
I'm sure a friendly mod will oblige.
