He talks a good game - but it's clear he's capable of little else; as he's about to discover, with his 'bottom of the barrel' Cabinet.

I'm a glass full person half full is not enough and half of empty is always zero

Thus when on a fucking plane that's lost all its fuel and is plummeting earth bound due to facts like gravity and a number of newtonian laws, I'm the very positive one, organising orchestrating, coordinating a safe and ordered evacuation using parachutes NOT hanging on the yoke , rocking back and forward willing the dead bird skyward away from its inevitable doom x

Dont be suprised if you get an even bigger majority for leave.If the greens and lib/dems decide not to stand against each other in certain constituencies i wouldn't bet on the tories and brexit party doing the same.

Ok. Now he's had a chance to do something.

Dominic Raab is Foreign Secretary.

Priti Patel is Home Secretary.

Gavin Williamson is Education Secretary.

If we do get one it may be good news . Current polls suggest a majority of 40 . We are now on a winning streak. Have faith in the Conservative party and back life's winners . Ignore the merchants of doom and gloom .

If he was to announce that the 3 british auxiliary ships that are out for tender in the eu are going to be built in the uk using british steel i would think he pinching a few more from up north with the amount of leavers up there.

As a lifelong middle of the road Conservative, this Leader and his Cabinet do not inspire me nor fill me with confidence.

The time that I allow new politicians to impress me will be a lot shorter this time.

I'm glad some can class it as a winning team with no data or results to gauge their opinions on

31st October 11pm will be one of the first defining moments of this glorious Government but the first is probably going to be Iran.

. The current polls are showing 4 parties quite close with Labour 2% ahead , if the tories believe that starting 2 points behind Labour with 2 other parties breathing down their necks , will give them a 40 seat majority they should perhaps look at the polls when they called the 2017 General Election when they were hoping for a majority of 100 ,, which were Comservative 46 , Labour 25 , LibDem 11 , UKIP 8 , Green 3

I see the poll on the 18th but it has labour on 28% and conservatives on 25%. It also says “If the parties were to achieve these vote shares at a General Election it would result in Labour being the largest party but 42 seats short of a majority (Lab 284, Con 215, LD 53, SNP 39, Brex 37, PC 3, Grn 1”

You mentioned ComRes might be contradicting themselves as they had stated Labour would have a 69 seat majority?

But still contradicting themselves as they are putting tories hugely in the lead (to have a majority) and yet lagging Labour.

69 lead ?

3 point lead (which had a week earlier been 4 points)

The 40 seat majority for the conservatives if an election was held tomorrow is ComRes projection.

I suspect you are right, and Johnson will try to frame the election as No Deal versus Remain.

The unwritten rule that elections in the UK are won by winning the centre ground is being torn up.

He is putting together a Cabinet with one qualification - its members are committed to winning a No Deal outcome.

Johnson will come up against two roadblocks - Brussels and Westminster.

The only way forward is a mandate from the public to leave without a deal.

This is a Cabinet designed to switch seamlessly from governance to election mode.

How many of the 52 per cent will vote for No Deal when framed as a binary choice with Remain.

The last poll I saw said 44 %, with 42% Remain.

He will aim for the entire vote share to his right and gamble on the Remain/Leave With A Deal opposition being split several ways.

He is stealing Farage's clothes with tactics that appear to mimic Trump.

The huge risk for Johnson, however, is that galvanising the right and far right around No Deal will drive a huge fracture in the unity of the Union.

It is quite conceivable he will win an election and lose the country.

"ComRes seem to contradict themselves. Their insight says a Tory majority. Yet one of their polls has Labour having a 69 majority... Both commentary and polls are published about two days apart!!

Where did you see this ?

ComRes website.

Tory majority is under briefky on Boris under insights.

Labour win is under 18/7 poll for Britain elects.

I see the poll on the 18th but it has labour on 28% and conservatives on 25%. It also says “If the parties were to achieve these vote shares at a General Election it would result in Labour being the largest party but 42 seats short of a majority (Lab 284, Con 215, LD 53, SNP 39, Brex 37, PC 3, Grn 1”

You mentioned ComRes might be contradicting themselves as they had stated Labour would have a 69 seat majority?

Sorry, majority was the wrong word. 69 lead on tories.

69 lead ?

3 point lead (which had a week earlier been 4 points)

The 40 seat majority for the conservatives if an election was held tomorrow is ComRes projection.

No contradiction

"

As per your previous post this would give Labour 284 seats, 69 more than the tories 215. This is a ComRes projection too. And the question was who ould you vote for if there was a GE tomorrow. Other than the opinion piece I can find no other source for boris's majority... And given all the other polls it really doesn't feel right he'd get a majority with the brexit party on the scene...

69 more seats than conservatives - in the 18/7 poll (although they state they would not have an overall majority)

The 23/7 projection suggests the conservatives would have a 40 seat majority

There may well be a Boris bounce among the Brexit supporters.

The real test is going to be whether Brexit is delivered on 31st October.

Either it is delivered and there is an electoral boost for the Tories or it is not delivered and we have a very interesting election, probably with no overall control for any faction.

The US said there will be no US/UK trade deal without a backstop.

The EU said there will be no EU/UK trade deal without a backstop.

So it will be nice to see him change their minds, and to clarify that in his opinion people voted to cut off trade with the rest of the world.

Or to deliver a speech where he blusters, waffles and generally flim flams in his admission that he has had to go back on his nuclear button option of no deal on the 31st..

If we do get one it may be good news . Current polls suggest a majority of 40 . We are now on a winning streak. Have faith in the Conservative party and back life's winners . Ignore the merchants of doom and gloom . "

Back “life’s winners”?

So what about everyone else?

"

I can't see a more recent set of results... Its just an article saying "the latest projection", with no reference to what projection and what data was used to make this projection. A majority of 40 is what, 365 seats? So 150 more than the 215 they predicted a few days earlier... And it's not as tho anyone had any doubts Boris would be PM. Until I see the poll I'm cynical as it seems a large swing and counter to all other polls...

Given his appalling track record, and rather sketchy grasp of the concept of “truth”, why do you find it so hard to believe that people may not like him, or what he appears to stand for?

It's funny seeing Brexiteers talk about negativity. It was their own negative, victim mentality view of Britain that led to all this - the idea that we are the poor, weak, bullied serfs of the EU rather than the truth, that we are one of the main and most influential powers within it, with lots of benefits that other countries don't have.

well it sounded like it’s a giveaway. Money being thrown left right and centre.

Saying yes to literally everything!

Considering it’s the tories which have cause this mess, too little, too late!

He’s really pandering, that speech was more about setting his stall for a general election. He will make wild promises as the summer recess is coming. He’s going to promise so much then everyone will believe him then, it will be a hard right government for the next 5 years.

Damned if I will vote for the tories.

Exactly. Not to mention the way they coined the term ‘remoaners’, given that they had been professionally moaning for about 40 bloody years, and there was precisely no chance of them stopping if the vote had gone the other way.

He is a cunning man. How many other kids want to be king of the world at 5. Really motley crew of a cabinet but united by brexit. Dangerous times

"He talks a good game - but it's clear he's capable of little else; as he's about to discover, with his 'bottom of the barrel' Cabinet.

As Public Enemy said, "Don't Believe The Hype".

i said in one of the other threads.... i believe now more than ever we are getting a general election in the autumn

If we do get one it may be good news . Current polls suggest a majority of 40 . We are now on a winning streak. Have faith in the Conservative party and back life's winners . Ignore the merchants of doom and gloom . "

cool... if you really think that the tories would win a majority of 40 i would take you up on any bet that its even close to that......

i'd even give you a fiver a seat +/- 30 seats to a charity of your choice if you took the over......

so can you tell me where the tories are going to pick up 50 seats, since you think they will get a majority and they would lose every seat they have in scotland......

Saying yes to literally everything!

Considering it’s the tories which have cause this mess, too little, too late!

He’s really pandering, that speech was more about setting his stall for a general election. He will make wild promises as the summer recess is coming. He’s going to promise so much then everyone will believe him then, it will be a hard right government for the next 5 years.

Damned if I will vote for the tories.

This..

It's typical Cummings spin, like the now admitted lie that was on the bus..

"

I see the poll on the 18th but it has labour on 28% and conservatives on 25%. It also says “If the parties were to achieve these vote shares at a General Election it would result in Labour being the largest party but 42 seats short of a majority (Lab 284, Con 215, LD 53, SNP 39, Brex 37, PC 3, Grn 1”"

It would be interesting to watch what the Conservative / Brexit National Party split does over the next few weeks - and where, if anywhere, more moderate conservative votes go in response.

Looking at his cabinet picks, Boris first play seems to be to out Farrage Farrage and crush any opposition coming from other right wing parties, and seems like a good instinctual play.

The Tories have always done well when they've been only party representing the right, while the left and centre's vote has been split between the two other main parties- basically guaranteeing the Tories a decent shot at majority every time.

Couple that with a major shinkage of support for parties that occupy the middle ground over the last 10 years or so, and it looks like he's swimming with the tide.

I think we are detecting a bit of a backlash against the unbending religious fervour and magical thinking of the moonbats riding on unicorns fringe of Brexiters - enough even to put off a decent chunk of non-loony leave voters who make up the majority - but that vote is going to be split 3 ways - LibDems for remain, Labour for a softer Brexit - and none of the above.

So I think Boris will be happy to roll the dice on that, reclaim the Tories unopposed position of the right, and do a kind of reverse Tony Blair, saying to right wing voters what Blair said to left wing voters - "You've got nowhere else to go"

And he has since conceded that it was never intended to be a stated fact, but rather as “the starting point for a discussion”?

350m wasn't made up... Its the amount we owe the eu before the rebate.

The contention is whether we give 350m to the eu. As what we send over is less than that. Because it is net of the rebate.

You may argue its semantics.

But when it's used in the context of using it on the NHS, theres a disconnect with what people may think you are saying... The NHS will benefit by 350m with no cost elsewhere... With reality... If we give 350m then we need to find some money to cover whatever the rebate currently pays for...

Ps the boy who cried wolf was eventually right. Its just the town didn't believe him.

"

The £350 million a week is totally irrelevant now since the UK has lost around £600 million a week since the referendum from the costs of the Bank of England's measures to negate a fallout after the referendum and lost investment over the last 3 years.

The next thing we'll be told again about is the Brexit dividend

Found the poll. Was from 7th July.

Intersting (for geeks) they asked the standard question about voting intentions 25% of those who would vote and expressed an opinion went for tories.

Yet if asked "assume Boris was pm" or "assume hunt was pm" the tories scored higher both time.

Id suggest this is focusing bias so the tories are over weighted.

It is the "if Boris" version which leads to the 40 seat win.

But those results are out of line with most polls.. Indeed out of line with even their more recent poll... So I'm not convinced...

Corbyn has acheived nothing, if he got to number 10 I'd give him a chance. Same as I did with Blair, then Brown. Its called being open minded, something labour supporters are incapable of as I have noted elsewhere."

So you couldn’t think of anything to be critical of Corbyn about up until now?

It’s not about not being open minded.

Why does being critical of his past record make you see people as not being open minded?

So let’s give Mr Johnson a chance

Yep, he wasn't my choice but he is what we've got so lets get behind him. I said at the beginning if we aren't united we will get nothing from the EU. If we are united they know our position strengthens.

Well done the EU need to stand up to this Moron who is now our prime minister and his sheep following behind him.

So you put the EU before your own country That is seriously fucked up.

Yes, the UK as gone to the dogs.

If could now to the EU tomorrow we would. "

Fair play if that is your opinion. I personally don't agree, but if you want to make the move there is nothing stopping you both. Best of luck with it if you do.

I can think of loads to be critical of Corbyn for, and have been, but if he was PM I'd give him a chance. If you read the thread you will find I already said that. Do they teach comprehension in Scotland Fortunately he will never be PM because most sane people, and most people are sane, think he is a twat

"Yep, he wasn't my choice but he is what we've got so lets get behind him. I said at the beginning if we aren't united we will get nothing from the EU. If we are united they know our position strengthens."

Wouldn't we need to trust him in order to consider it being worthwhile to get behind him?

The most charitable description of his trustworthiness would be that he's a bit of a bluffer

Wouldn't he need to convince the people who are willing to seek consensus and compromise on both sides, that he can do the same?

Right now he's playing solely to the minority in peanut gallery of moonbats riding on flying unicorns who will never compromise on anything.

The ball is in Boris' court to get behind the people of Britain - not the other way round

I haven’t said who my choice would be, and it’s not really relevant here.

Given that there is plenty to be critical of Johnson about, why do you dismiss those perfectly valid reasons, and instead conclude that it is simply that people are jealous of his success?

If Corbyn was to win a term as PM, even his own party members wouldn’t give him a chance!

I laughed so much when his own party member agreed with May when she said he should do the right thing and quit.

I’m glad he hasn’t though, because he is the tories greatest asset. With him in charge Labour haven’t a chance in hell of getting in. Long may he stay as their leader

"350m wasn't made up... Its the amount we owe the eu before the rebate.

The contention is whether we give 350m to the eu. As what we send over is less than that. Because it is net of the rebate.

You may argue its semantics.

But when it's used in the context of using it on the NHS, theres a disconnect with what people may think you are saying... The NHS will benefit by 350m with no cost elsewhere... With reality... If we give 350m then we need to find some money to cover whatever the rebate currently pays for...

Ps the boy who cried wolf was eventually right. Its just the town didn't believe him. "

It’s not £350m though is it? With the rebate, it’s more like £250m.

And you know all those “Funded by the EU” signs you see? Where do you think that money comes from?

We’re part of the EU, so do actually benefit from the money that goes into the EU.

And I’d wager that the EU is better at distributing funds around more remote and rural parts of the UK than Westminster would be.

What is really fucked up is how a discussion about the trading relationship that we have with our closest neighbours has resulted in so many people being groomed by political agitators to think that it is in fact a Nationalist cause.

What about if people just happen to think that the EU is better with the U.K. in it and the U.K. is better in the E.U.? It is just that simple for a lot of people and those people do not deserve to be labelled as unpatriotic, anti democrats just because they hold pragmatic, middle of the road, common sense views.

Think seriously about how you you are framing this entire question and if it really is about patriotism and Nationalism to you - perhaps you should look at how you have allowed yourself to be guided down that road.

How on earth do you get from criticising Boris Johnson to putting the EU before the UK?

Given that virtually every economic expert / model predicts that the UK will be worse off economically after leaving rather EU, it seems to me that it’s the people who voted to leave who who are putting bullshit like nationalistic pride before the economic welfare of the country.

It’s not really about democracy as such - I don’t think it was necessarily a good idea to have a referendum on such an important decision, where most people didn’t really know enough about it, and were told a lot of misinformation and outright lies. That’s generally why we have a government - we don’t vote on every decision the government needs to make.

If the UK is forced to stay in the EU by the government even though the vote was to leave, would that make the UK an autocracy?

Also I see the EU have played right into BJ’s hands by coming right out and saying the deals the deal end of! And so making it look like they rare the ones who will not change anything

"So much negativity from people who, in possibility, are a tad jealous of his success.

I don’t get it. Given his appalling track record on many issues, which is well documented and in the public domain.... you still can’t get your head around that as a legitimate reason to be critical or sceptical about him?

In your mind the most obvious explanation is simply that people are “a tad jealous of his success”?

Put it this way... suppose Jeremy Corbyn became PM.... and you were critical of him... how would you feel if people dismissed your criticism out of hand, and said you were just “a tad jealous of his success”?

Corbyn has acheived nothing, if he got to number 10 I'd give him a chance. Same as I did with Blair, then Brown. Its called being open minded, something labour supporters are incapable of as I have noted elsewhere.

So let’s give Mr Johnson a chance

Yep, he wasn't my choice but he is what we've got so lets get behind him. I said at the beginning if we aren't united we will get nothing from the EU. If we are united they know our position strengthens.

Well done the EU need to stand up to this Moron who is now our prime minister and his sheep following behind him.

So you put the EU before your own country That is seriously fucked up.

How on earth do you get from criticising Boris Johnson to putting the EU before the UK?

Given that virtually every economic expert / model predicts that the UK will be worse off economically after leaving rather EU, it seems to me that it’s the people who voted to leave who who are putting bullshit like nationalistic pride before the economic welfare of the country.

Yeah shouldn’t we have a vote ,,,,,, o wait

We did. And people voted to almost certainly make the UK worse off economically.

What’s your point? That democracy doesn’t always work out very well?

Well personally I think democracy is the right way and if people voted to leave then we leave if they voted to stay we stay, simple

Any other way you would like it to go if you don’t think democracy is the right way ?

So it doesn’t bother you that the result (assuming we leave), means that the UK will almost certainly be worse off economically? That a lot of people will be worse off, or lose their jobs?

It’s not really about democracy as such - I don’t think it was necessarily a good idea to have a referendum on such an important decision, where most people didn’t really know enough about it, and were told a lot of misinformation and outright lies. That’s generally why we have a government - we don’t vote on every decision the government needs to make."

The people have spoken, right or wrong everyone had a voice and a choice

Should people not have a voice of a choice ?

"If the UK is forced to stay in the EU by the government even though the vote was to leave, would that make the UK an autocracy?

Also I see the EU have played right into BJ’s hands by coming right out and saying the deals the deal end of! And so making it look like they rare the ones who will not change anything "

We should have another referendum and If the country wants to leave without a deal they will vote for it

They were given a choice based on lies and miss information (on both sides). We now have 2 options (3 if you include staying in the EU) , leave with Mays deal or a no deal. It is democratic to let ‘the people’ decide ?

The only outcome that has ever been in the control of the UK Government to deliver is to exit with no agreement.

Yet it is the one outcome consistently the UK consistently has refused to plan for.

It dismissed repeatedly in 2016 as ridiculous and project fear.

The expectations of the Leave campaign - that the EU would give the UK terms that were better than membership - have been exposed as ridiculous optimism.

If the UK decides not to accept the terms on the table, the decision to leave without any will be the UK's and the UK's alone.

Britainelects has a tracker of all polls. In 2016 to mid 2017 leave was the preferred option. There's been only one poll since 2018 which has placed leave as the preferred option. The meta analysis suggests the winds have changed.

Shall we have another vote after that one if some people are up set ? Or another one after that one and so on ?

If you proposed 2nd democratic vote is the way to go why did we bother having the first one and what makes your 2nd one have less lies and miss information ( on both sides )

Polls are useless because they just ask the right people for the outcome they are looking for to support their agenda.

"why did we bother having the first one"

Because David Cameron wanted to shore up the Tory vote against the UKIP threat. That's literally it.

Let's not pretend the initial referendum was a natural and therefore sacred result of 'democracy'. It was purely a political move.

It will be a straight forward decision, Mays deal or a no deal? Which are the only 2 ways we can leave the EU. Very simple and democratic. If we were given the original vote why can’t we be given a second vote?

Johnson and others have declared the withdrawal agreement dead, so there is no way he is going to revive it now for a referendum, not least because it would mean the Government arguing for No Deal.

No, the likeliest outcome is a General Election with the Conservative Party campaigning on a No Deal ticket. That will kill the Brexit Party, if it has already drifted away from Farage to Johnson.

If you proposed 2nd democratic vote is the way to go why did we bother having the first one and what makes your 2nd one have less lies and miss information ( on both sides )

It will be a straight forward decision, Mays deal or a no deal? Which are the only 2 ways we can leave the EU. Very simple and democratic. If we were given the original vote why can’t we be given a second vote?

Wasn’t the 1st one a simple deal leave or stay ?

And if there is a 2nd vote why will it be taken any more seriously than the 1st ? Shall we have a vote on how many votes we have before we stick with that vote ?

Everyone had a voice everyone had a choice everyone had a vote "

Nope. First vote was on wether we leave the second vote is on how we leave . When you voted in the first referendum did you know how we would leave the EU? I don’t think you understand what democracy means ?

"So much negativity from people who, in possibility, are a tad jealous of his success.

I don’t get it. Given his appalling track record on many issues, which is well documented and in the public domain.... you still can’t get your head around that as a legitimate reason to be critical or sceptical about him?

In your mind the most obvious explanation is simply that people are “a tad jealous of his success”?

Put it this way... suppose Jeremy Corbyn became PM.... and you were critical of him... how would you feel if people dismissed your criticism out of hand, and said you were just “a tad jealous of his success”?

Corbyn has acheived nothing, if he got to number 10 I'd give him a chance. Same as I did with Blair, then Brown. Its called being open minded, something labour supporters are incapable of as I have noted elsewhere.

So let’s give Mr Johnson a chance

Yep, he wasn't my choice but he is what we've got so lets get behind him. I said at the beginning if we aren't united we will get nothing from the EU. If we are united they know our position strengthens.

Well done the EU need to stand up to this Moron who is now our prime minister and his sheep following behind him.

So you put the EU before your own country That is seriously fucked up.

How on earth do you get from criticising Boris Johnson to putting the EU before the UK?

Given that virtually every economic expert / model predicts that the UK will be worse off economically after leaving rather EU, it seems to me that it’s the people who voted to leave who who are putting bullshit like nationalistic pride before the economic welfare of the country.

Yeah shouldn’t we have a vote ,,,,,, o wait

We did. And people voted to almost certainly make the UK worse off economically.

What’s your point? That democracy doesn’t always work out very well?

Well personally I think democracy is the right way and if people voted to leave then we leave if they voted to stay we stay, simple

Any other way you would like it to go if you don’t think democracy is the right way ?

So it doesn’t bother you that the result (assuming we leave), means that the UK will almost certainly be worse off economically? That a lot of people will be worse off, or lose their jobs?

It’s not really about democracy as such - I don’t think it was necessarily a good idea to have a referendum on such an important decision, where most people didn’t really know enough about it, and were told a lot of misinformation and outright lies. That’s generally why we have a government - we don’t vote on every decision the government needs to make.

The people have spoken, right or wrong everyone had a voice and a choice

Should people not have a voice of a choice ?

Should they not be allowed to choose again?

Britainelects has a tracker of all polls. In 2016 to mid 2017 leave was the preferred option. There's been only one poll since 2018 which has placed leave as the preferred option. The meta analysis suggests the winds have changed.

Should we have another vote but can only vote on what are views will be in 5 years time ?

When we leave the EU would you prefer Mays deal, or a no deal ??"

Personally I know very little about brexit so what’s best I’m not really sure

What I do know is if we make a mockery of democracy it’s a slippery slope that’s all

"Tweaked deal coming...

Lets see

Tweaked?

Aye ....tweak: improve by making fine adjustments to it.

Won’t happen, and even if it is ‘tweaked’ it will still fail to get through parliament

In your opinion...

"

Of course, and it was ‘your opinion ‘ the deal would get ‘tweaked’ . Only time will tell

Was the campaign conducted by johnson and farage honest, without lies and supported by real facts? No. The campaign was unfair and based on lies. Normal people have been deceived and manipulated. So what democracy do you speak about? Thus, the referendum has nothing to do with democracy.

"Polls are useless because they just ask the right people for the outcome they are looking for to support their agenda.

"

Individually I'd agree there is a risk of an agenda playing through. But reputable posters should be mitigating for this.

And that's why the meta view is interesting. Unless no leave group has commissioned a poll since April 2018....

I'm not saying that. Do you know what manipulation is? Do you know what the campaign is for? Certainly not to lie to people. People base their political knowledge on the knowledge of politicians, most of whom are liars and manipulators. Unfortunately.
