So it's Boris

You're right suziewoozie I should have said curse! - just assumed others would know that...

Stella14 piccaninnies, letterboxes, bum boys

It's probably that kind of stuff that got him elected by the paid up members of the Conservative Party.

Well I'm pleased its Boris, pleased that ? liar May will be gone.

Let's just hope he has the sense to appoint people who have the knowledge, ability and experience to give him good advice and then the humility to take it.

We can always hope.

Nightmare, but so is the opposition leader

No surprise.

Let’s wait and see..... can’t be worse than Tony Blair (the worst ever prime minister in my opinion) John Major (useless) Gordon Brown (gormless).......and it goes on

Boris this side of the pond, Trump the other...............heaven help us.

Perfectly summed up

yay. Well done Boris. Optimism at last, its been a long time coming

And, we would have got confused if we had 2 Jeremies.

The election of Boris and the disarray evident in the Labour party will, I hope, be a catalyst for large scale change in British politics.

I like him, it will be an interesting time now.

I didn’t like Theresa May, Tony Blair, or John Major. I liked David Cameron and quite liked Gordon Brown.

Trump has congratulated Boris. He can't wait to have the UK become a "vassal state" of the US, which would be inevitable if the brexit nonsense is not stopped.

I don’t dislike Jeremy Corbyn, but I think he’d be useless as PM. I hope he never is, but I think John McDonnell is dangerous.
Boris is definitely better than the opposition.

We now have buffoons on both sides of the Atlantic - you really couldn't make it up.

I am genuinely concerned, both in terms of what this means for Brexit and for the UK. We can only hope that the wiser, more moderate and more experienced politicians with a wider view of the world can steer this madness through the difficult times that lie ahead.

I really don’t think that’s right Varian, I think you’re exaggerating.

He can joke as much as he likes but he is a known liar and a cheat. I do not want our country represented by such a person.

maddy, What did you like about Cameron? Do you think he could pop back and sort out the country he destroyed?

Very scared we face a frightening future. How have we come to this.

I can't help but think of the Emperor's New Clothes.
Gone Girl can I ask you what you mean by "do you want everyone to behave like 80 year olds ?"? How do you think 80 year olds behave ?

nicenanny3 and of course Boris has such a good reputation for always telling the truth.....................!NOT

The world's gone well and truly nuts. (In my opinion).

* westendgirl* I was waiting for that. Probably like I behave. I'm edging ever closer.

varian that worries me too. And it won't be stopped (Brexit).

I really don’t think that’s right Varian, I think you’re exaggerating

Let's imagine for a moment that the UK does become a vassal state. Do you think that would be good thing?
