One does despair rather.
A whole new style of government?
Co-operation rather than conflict?
That's what I'd like to see happen.

We teach our DC & DGC how to give and take, to listen and be kind to eachother but our leaders, so called, are not very skilled at it.

I wish there had never been a referendum but it's too late for regrets.
Nobody is happy.

fair point Anja. The phrase " Boris has a new lover" has made me come over all unnecessary.

How very negative OP ? and rather repugnant.

I’d like to think that a leader just might emerge and take up the challenge.

And WTF has David Milliband got to do with it, eazybee?

MaizieD Tue 15-Jan-19 22:48:33

^ he wouldn't have been insulted in the way they have insulted May;^

Good Heavens; you really believe that, don't you?

With Boris's track record the biggest insults would have come from him.

Boris has a new lover.
Personally, I don't think we would be in this dire mess if he had been given a chance to negotiate; he wouldn't have been insulted in the way they have insulted May; he would have given back as good as he got or better.
David Miliband ran away.

Boris seemed quite tidy and a lot slimmer on Channel 4 this evening. Who is he trying to impress, should I be worried?

The concensus on mumsnet earlier seemed to be that having a new lady friend and the vigorous activity that promotes might be helping to burn off the calories...

Me too Charleygirl5, ?

We will learn to become like chameleons if the far right venture too far.
Blending in whilst retaining your original colours is always a good idea IMO.

I can’t afford to emigrate but I too am very concerned about the future. We live in uncertain times with the far right growing across Europe.

Charleygirl5 Tue 15-Jan-19 22:24:32

Bridgeit I would consider emigrating.

Bridgeit Tue 15-Jan-19 22:23:26

Very worryingly Boris !

Charleygirl5 Tue 15-Jan-19 22:22:05

I think that David Milliband may come back to run the country eventually.

Boris!!

It won’t be anyone in the Labour Party unless they want death threats followed by deselection

It strikes me the present disarray is an ideal opportunity for a person or persons to make a move and further their political ambitions.

I wonder who?
