Boris and Truth - a close relationship?

Curly he’s refused to face Andrew Neil and Julie Etchingham, coward that he is. Bu he must have thought Philip Schofield would be a soft touch.

What a bumbling idiot.

Gonegirl you do realise that nobody is going to "get Brexit done" in any sort of reasonable way or time scale? That it will takes years more to work out the trade deals and negotiations and that in the end we may finish crashing out with no deal. It's just another of Johnson's lies.

There is a very good chance that Boris will not be re-elected for Uxbridge and South Ruislip because many of his constituents are fed up with him. He has rarely visited so that has not gone down well. His majority was just over 5000, the lowest for any PM.

Channel 4 have had to put out an apology on Twitter - it subtitled Boris Johnsons speech incorrectly putting "people of colour" when in fact Boris Johnson said "people of talent".

Deliberate, I am not sure?

Tories found faking a third website.

This time in the name of Labour veteran Margaret Beckett, who says it's worrying how low the Tories will stoop to win.

A party that lies so readily is not fit to govern.

The lead Brexit envoy in the UK's embassy in Washington has resigned, saying she can no longer "peddle half-truths" on behalf of political leaders she does not trust.
Alexandra Hall Hall sent a resignation letter earlier this week, warning that there were increasing demands being placed on civil servants not to be "fully honest" with the public.

It comes as leaked internal documents show there will be customs checks and controls between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, despite claims by Boris Johnson that there would not be.

The Government has also been forced to issue a series of denials that aspects relating to the NHS would be on the table in US trade talks despite some evidence that meetings are already taking place.

A spokesperson for the Foreign Office confirmed the news, first reported by CNN, and said: “We won’t comment on the detail of an individual’s resignation.”

Brexit to drag on as EU drops commitment to get trade deal done fast
In her resignation letter Ms Hall Hall said the Government's approach had undermined the British diplomats' position abroad and that for her the situation had become "unbearable personally" and "untenable professionally".

"I have been increasingly dismayed by the way in which our political leaders have tried to deliver Brexit, with reluctance to address honestly, even with our own citizens, the challenges and trade-offs which Brexit involves; the use of misleading or disingenuous arguments about the implications of the various options before us; and some behaviour towards our institutions, which, were it happening in another country, we would almost certainly as diplomats have received instructions to register our concern," she wrote in her letter, dated December 3.
"It makes our job to promote democracy and the rule of law that much harder, if we are not seen to be upholding these core values at home."

"I am also at a stage in life where I would prefer to do something more rewarding with my time, than peddle half-truths on behalf of a government I do not trust," she wrote in the letter.

I just don't know how anyone would vote for this man. He has shafted Ireland, his wives, partners, girlfriends and his children and employers. Why does anyone think he will not do exactly the same to any group of us if it suits his purpose.

Blimey, talk about the plot thickening - what on earth has happened to our Goverment?Morals seem to have gone out the window. We are like a banana republic ?

It is really grim.

But unless it's put on the front page of the Sun no one will pay any attention to it.....

A senior British diplomat in the US has quit with a blast at the UK government over Brexit, saying she could no longer "peddle half-truths" on behalf of political leaders she did not "trust."

In a searing resignation letter delivered just over a week before the UK general election, Alexandra Hall Hall, the lead envoy for Brexit in the British Embassy in Washington, said that she had become increasingly dismayed by the demands placed on the British civil service to deliver messages on Brexit which were not "fully honest."

The reluctance of Britain's leaders to play straight with the public on Brexit, Hall Hall said, had undermined the credibility of UK diplomats abroad. Her position had become "unbearable personally" and "untenable professionally," she wrote in the letter, which has been obtained by CNN.

Now Chris Patten saying that if Boris Johnson is telling the truth it is probably by accident.
This is a very strange election campaign.

There was someone on here quite ready to "politicise" the London Bridge attack.

BJ is definitely a closet Remainer and he's only chosen Brexit because he knows it'll keep him in power. Another megalomaniac like Trump and both as mad as a box of frogs.

Politics have finished in this country. They're nothing but a bunch of shysters and traitors.

Just watching him Johnson is a Trump mini-me. How are we going to feel the sniggers behind backs are about him.

Everyone knows he lies, misleading the UK voters and the 'good people' who hoped it would change have abandoned him.

Trump & Boris two peas in a pod
