How right we were

Those who don’t rate Corbyn chances are far too optimistic, if Farage fields candidates in most constituencies that will split the Tory vote, resulting in a lot less seats for Brexit parties.
I don’t look forward to Corbyn as PM but Labour could easily be the largest party in coalition with others. Conservative members were crazy to put Johnson in as PM he is far too aggressive and right wing, also he has proved to be not a good speaker at PM question time.

I have watched the clip, it played OK here. Very good if not a little bit scary.

I meant scarecrow, why did I type straw Man?

No EllanV, the straw man would be more apt for BJ.

I don’t think people in Nick Boles’ constituency think much to him anymore.

Lucas is in the constituency next to mine. She will get in again.

Here's a crazy thing....I don't like BJ and I find nothing interesting or inspiring about JC.
I thought Caroline Lucas was brave and sensible yesterday.

Johnson doesn’t make speeches - he waffles.

Iron Lady versus the Tin Man.

The women up to now have made better jobs at being leaders.
You can't compare the late MT's speeches to BJ's !!

grandad ?????????????????

Those who state that there is no credible alternative government to Boris (The Buffoon) Johnson and the Tory party should think back to the 2017 General Election.

With a twenty point plus lead in the opinion polls, Theresa May called that election with the sole intention of wiping out the Labour Party in the House of Commons. Well, we all know now what happened on polling day in that Election, Theresa May lost the Conservatives their majority in Parliament which was the start of the problems we are still witnessing in the Conservative Party

Even Jeremy Corbyn's arch critic Tony Blair has acknowledged that Corbyn has handled the Brexit crisis in the last few weeks to great effect. With a General Election once again very much in the offing, the Labour Parties prospects with Corbyn leading the campaign trail look excellent i feel.

Whitewavemark2, yes. It's just one of the many, many things that he does on any given day. I despair of ever feeling normal here, again. Pantglas1, hopefully you are incorrect. Any of the 10 Democratic challengers would be a vast improvement. For that matter, so would either of the 2 Republicans considering a primary challenge. Off to bed for me. It's close to 2 a.m. here in California.

gmarie I think I’ve just seen it on twitter, or at least an article about it. Did Trump use an altered map to include Alabama?

I actually thought that the Democrats had some good candidates shaping up pantyglas correct me if I’m wrong

Apology- should read gmarie

The saddest part of all Marie is that he’ll probably walk the next election as the USA, like the UK, has no credible alternative.

Nick Boles MP

The parliamentary term is less than 3 days old and already the world has discovered what whose of us who have worked with Boris Johnson have always known: he is cowardly, weak, vindictive and without morals. Behold your Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen.

Oh, darn. In sum, on the subject of hurricanes, alone, our president warned people in the wrong state that one was headed their way; professed to have never heard of a category 5 storm, even though there have been 4 level 5 storms since he became president; suggested using a nuclear bomb to stop it; and cancelled a trip to Ireland to stay and monitor the storm (he played golf for 2 days).

Our cross to bear.

It won’t let us play it in the U.K. gmarie☹️

They are our cross to bear gmarie

Here's a little taste of what it's like in the US to distract you from your woes for a hot minute.

Am borrowing the phrase, bumbling load of piffle, to use when describing our narcissistic windbag here in the US. Just love it. So apt.

lemon I thought as so.

I think almost everyone who posted thought he would be a total car crash and it has proven so to be.

And the dire combination of tory/brexit parties is looming as BJ scrambles around, desperately trying to hang on to his position.
Sir John Curtice has explained the situation fairly clearly. It seems that L.P. and SNP are correct in their policy re timing and because of the lack of trust in the PM it's imperative that the date of a GE must be 'set in stone's so that he can't renege. All the bluffing accusations of 'frit' and 'chicken' are smoke and mirrors!
None of this would be necessary if we had a PM who could be trusted.

The only thing that I applaud him and his team for is the determination to at least try to get us out of the EU at the end of October.
