I actually voted for him as deputy leader, but its time for a change. It's not personal, he just wasn't doing the job.

There are a lot of decent MPs standing down at this election.

Parliament will be all the poorer for losing some of them.

I caught a snip of Boris Johnson on TV last night.
He was talking to the camera, and what a load of (clever & targetted) dumb bullsh*t ..
Interspersed with "speed dating" type questions like Marmite or not, he stated that he had an "oven ready brexit deal, just need to put it in the microwave & press the button & it's done. All over. This whole logjam will be finished & we can get out of this limbo & back to making Britain grate again"
Un-*ucking-believable.!!!!! Pure lies, told straight faced to the camera on mainstream television.? :^

My main problem, however, is that it seems to me it was blatantly aimed at a demographic, and I have a horrible feeling that they will actually believe it (not least because they want to).

It really does feel as though we are about to be royally stuffed. :(

Presumably some of them will be embarrassed at all the parties attempting to "out bribe" each other, by offering increasingly implausible spending plans on absolutely everything..
Shameful, and further undermines public confidence in politics imho.

Once they are shown to be a shower of shit they are really going to have some explaining to do.

Or will they just **** off to live in another country?

Imho neither of the above, I think you'll find history shows us what happens.
History is written by the winners, besides they're so utterly shameless that they will simply stick around creaming us for anything they can & pointing blame for the state of affairs at everyone except themselves.

I don’t think that will happen.

The potential consequences are to severe.

At most they have 5 years to turn Britain or England anyway, into the booming powerhouse they have promised. Otherwise they get voted out.

Anyone else think the guy behind Johnson looks suspiciously like Putin in a wig?

Corbyn is moaning on Twitter that the SNP won't team up with him to defeat the Tories.

The bloke struggles to make his mind up. Either he wants to work with other parties to keep the Tories out our he doesn't.

It appears to me that he wants, is to get into power, at all costs.
What he doesn't want is to have to share that power.
I am very concerned that his leadership ambitions may have serious consequences for us.
I must admit to also being a little "cautious" about his stated intentions regarding brexit, if he does get elected. :?

More shady dealing by the Tories. Heavily funded campaign by dodgy Russian money

Labour gets most of its money from its membership, the unions and small donations from the public. Not sure on the Lib Dems.

Some irony at how the Tories have for years had a go at Corbyn for his left wing links and now the Tories are reliant on funding from the same Country albeit under a very different regime.

Another reason not to vote for Johnson.

Sadly I have personal experience of the way it’s being starved of the money and staff to provide the service needed.
