So, if you don't like Boris......

I’d settle for competent.

Like Truss everytime for me

May we ask why? Why Liz Truss? Please.

Yes. I’d like to know that, too.

Just as I’d like to understand why someone I know who lives in sheltered accommodation and has a partner with serious health problems told me he would vote for Johnson again and would never vote for Keir. Who he calls a champagne socialist. I must admit that, for someone who has always voted Labour because I’m happy to be less well off if it protects people like him, I sometimes wonder why I bother. I can’t ask him outright, by the way because I tend to avoid any political discussion with people that I know hold those views but they seem to be the ones that raise the issue.

Can't you even ask him why 'socialists' aren't allowed champagne?

I did explain to him that Keir was from a working class background last year but he obviously didn’t take it on board.

What newspaper does this person read?

That could explain a lot.

MayBee70 If he's someone you don't care about and/or not a relative why not just tell him what you think? Sometimes life's too short to worry about what people think that you don't like.

It’s complicated. I’ll pm you….

I'm sure if they are a Socialist Lord, Lady, Sir, Dame, Baroness etc they are permitted to quaff champagne whenever they like ? ?
