Good grief!

Will this malgovernance never end?

He is keeping his powder dry.

It was a restatement of a known position.

Go away and think about your position Remainer Conservative MP’s.

It’s crunch time. ...

Boris is piling the pressure on. He’s playing ‘nice cop’ at the moment.

Well said Urmstongran, you are spot on as always. No mention of a snap election. A simple message to those who would try to undemocratically stop Brexit, especially the rebels within his own Party. Get behind the majority of the British people who voted to Leave, or it will be impossible to make a Deal with the EU before October 31st. If we leave without a Deal, and a Deal which is the opposite to May’s obvious attempt to stay fully under the control of Brussels, but with no Voice, then these so called rebels will have only themselves to blame.

Good one Boris.

That is precisely your problem, Varian.

You don't hear what people say.

Just listened to Johnson. He said "rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb"

Absolutely nothing except the rubbish we've heard before.

Well, that was a waste of time!

Thank goodness for that, no snap election.

Do you want to be hanged or shot

All it needs is for the opposition to band together to defeat this ghastly fellow and start working sensibly on the thorny issue of Brexit. But will they do this? - no. Each one is after power for themselves.

Me neither EllanVannin but I've never not voted before.

Urmstongran Mon 02-Sept-19 17:56:54

Boris won’t yet announce a GE. He will address the nation to remind everyone that he expects his party to get behind him.

Or for MP’s to stand as Independent. (Good luck with thar one guys!)

It’s crunch time.

It really is ‘A Battle for Brexit’.

The media is febrile .... (lovin’ it, basically).

EllanVannin Mon 02-Sept-19 17:49:54

I don't think I'll bother.

A great idea of only there was a party worth voting for.

varian Mon 02-Sept-19 17:44:10

Johnson is due to make an announcement at 6pm - it might or might not be a general election.

The papers are abuzz with speculation that there is to be one called this week! Here we go again...........
