What's good about Boris?

maddyone I agree with you 100%.

We are all allowed an opinion, even on Gransnet.

JenniferEccles agree if we can't have Nigel our only hope is Boris.
If it does come to a General election who knows The Brexit Party might sweep the board.

There's nothing wrong with having a lot of cheek and plenty of money.

My personal opinion is he will be out of the door of no.10 by the end of September. My crystal ball is not working- I do not know if it is because of a general election or other means.

maddyone good for you, ??we are all here to give our own opinions, in fact, what other opinions should we hold.

Farage was interviewed on the Jeremy Vine show yesterday and he said he would be prepared to do a deal with Boris if there is a general election. If Boris fails to get us out on Oct 31st the Brexit party would mop up so many furious leave voters from all parties and could sweep the board. I imagine Boris is aware of that.

Where is NF constituency? What are the policies of his party?

Doesn't Farage need a seat in parliament first?

Apparently not, because Trump likes him.

Yes I’m not sure how it would work. Also once we have left what would he call his party?

dragonfly he could be given a seat in the House of Lords, perish the thought, but don't mention that to anyone.
I wouldn't want anyone to get any ideas

CARPET

Criminals and racist party extolling trump.

I suspect, but clearly don’t know, that if we finally manage to achieve Brexit, that Nigel Farage will probably gratefully retire from public life. He tried to do this after the referendum, but due to Theresa May’s efforts to take us out, but really leave us in, he had to make a comeback. Clearly as UKIP had become something he couldn’t align himself to, he had to create a new party. If on the other hand..........

Guess what ladies, I’ve been out with a friend, drinking Prosecco in a beautiful garden, at a country pub. It’s a beautiful day, there are lots more things to be doing than moaning about Brexit. Have a lovely evening.

I only had an Elderflower pressé (English) when we were out but it was lovely and chilled.

But the main thing is that you had a lovely afternoon out Callistemon.
Cheers

Cheers !

Boris is no clown but has succeeded in aligning himself with Trump and Putin and the far right.

Boris Johnson has been urged to dismiss an aide who called far-right activist a hero. Chloe Westley, No 10’s social media chief, praised Anne Marie Waters in 2016 tweet.

Waters co-founded the UK branch of the anti-Islam group Pegida alongside Robinson, has links to former BNP members and has described Islam as “evil”.

She stood to be leader of Ukip before quitting the party to form For Britain. The party argues that the UK’s Muslim population is causing a crisis, as it is growing rapidly and has beliefs that cannot be incorporated into a liberal democracy.

Jon Trickett, the shadow cabinet office minister, said: “It is profoundly shocking that someone who holds these views should be at the heart of government. She should never have been appointed in the first place and Mr Johnson must now move swiftly to dismiss her.”

Matthew McGregor, the campaigns director of group Hope Not Hate, said: “Anne Marie Waters leads a far-right party with virulent Islamophobia at its core. Calling her a hero was a serious error of judgment, as Westley later admitted. This appointment is deeply concerning.”

I'm afraid that I don't like Boris Johnson: he doesn't seem to be a gentleman which is what a statesman should be. I voted for Mr Hunt. When I think of the Prime Ministers that we've had in the past it makes me cringe at the current crop. What is happening to this country?

Boris as a new PM has said so much that gives us hope. He already has made statements concerning schools, the police force, the NHS, the lowest paid, etc, etc, etc.

He is aware of what needs to be done. Astute, I'd say, and head and shoulders above the leader of the opposition in terms of drive, character and brain-power.

I cannot be the only one smiling at the general muck-raking going on here and in MSM.

His haters are out in force and he's been in office less than 48 hrs.

They are doing their best to pull him down. It is quite amusing. I think the days of left wing hysteria have peaked. Most of us see now who they follow and how they seem to hate the masses who vote differently from them.

Lots of desperation to destroy, on here and out there.

Any kind of brexit would impoverish the UK and a no-deal brexit which BJ seems to be driving towards would be utterly catastrophic.

If you seriously believe he can drive us into a no-deal brexit , cut taxes and massively increase public spending, please tell us where he has found this "magic money tree" which Theresa May told us did not exist.

The magic money tree does exist. It was at the bottom of Eeyore Hammond’s garden. He didn’t tell Theresa May about it but she found and slashed some branches off it to give out as pay rises to teachers, the Police and others in her last few days in office.

Now Boris knows it’s there too. Plans will be made.

Hammond must be crying at his depleted reserves.

The cheers in the HoC when Theresa May told the House that the Conservatives had been prudent with finances. No wonder really - they took the austerity ball and ran with it for years. Cuts to libraries, police recruitment, underfunded schools, no Sure Start. Jeez.

Boris understands the inequality that exists in the U.K. and will do something about it now. Savid Javed’s brother is a Police Commissioner. He will be aware of the Force’s needs and stop and search is coming back.

The wheel has turned and Boris knows he has to share the toys out more fairly.

Of course we can’t answer the question until we have had a chance to see what he achieves in the months to come
