Minniemoo. Really! Left Leaning! I can assure your that everyone I know of that leans even remotely left believe the BBC to be completely in the pocket of the Tories! And in fact I believe have been proved to be and called out a number of times. Just how far right are you if you think they are left leaning!

if he messes up, the whole country will be in a serious mess - for a very long time, whether he is gone or not. Can't you see ???

Well I've done it - emailed the PM with a request that he might like to get his skates on when it comes to social care funding as mortgage-day is looming!

Let us hope that Boris will sort out social care before I have to mortgage my home to go on paying for OH's care - that gives him just a few months! Perhaps I should write and tell him so! - get my order in quick before anyone else!

Forgive me for my cynicism, but that sort of speech, designed to rouse the masses, is like water off a duck's back to me. I remember TM's speech the day she became PM and her unfulfilled promises.

The truth is that he does not have enough parliamentary support to do diddly squat!

I am also getting fed up with all the negativity. We've got Boris whether we like it or not so I will reserve any further judgement until there's something to judge.

Remember the hysteria when Blair became PM? 'New kids on the block?' 'The boy dun good?' etc., etc., He walked on water until...…..

Give Boris a chance and if he messes up he'll be gone!

The BBC has been annoying me intensely for a long time now. Clearly left leaning when they should be impartial. But what amuses me more is when my left leaning friends claim that the Beeb is biased against them!

How very pragmatic dragonfly!
Let's all become extravagant spendthrifts!

I take it all back. I have put my name down for the luxury home Boris is going to pay for where I will get excellent care. When I am there I won't care if we are friends with the EU or not!

Oh I wish- he would go ...

being enthusiastic is totally useless in the current circumstances - just as Rory says - he does not have a clear plan, he just is full of empty rhetoric and hot air, not a clue ...

Well said Opal - another fine uplifting speech. I thought the reference to the "awesome foursome" was a wonderful way of describing the UK grin

I've just watched Boris' speech in Downing Street - he was energetic, enthusiastic and inspiring. No matter what your political beliefs and your views on Brexit, he knocks Jeremy Corbyn out of the park! Good bloody luck to him, I hope he can get the majority of the country on side.

And typical BBC - don't know why I watch it, it always annoys me. Negative slant from some of their political commentators, as always. Do they ever promote a positive message on anything?

Go Boris! smile
