Definitely politics: catching up with Brexit

I’ve been thinking about the result. It took place in one of the most Brexit constituencies in England.

The fact that they were prepared to vote for a strongly remain party suggests to me that Brexit is losing its grip and many people are regretting their vote like the farming community, which has been badly hit.

Celebrating the Trade Deal with Australia which has just been signed is like celebrating having a tent after deliberately burning your house down. That's aside from the animal husbandry regulations being considerably lower than the EU demanded, and the thousands of air miles involved compared to trading with the EU. Utter madness, and yes, I am still going on about it after five years.

Johnson has caved in and agrees that the ECJ will continue to oversee cases in NI.

Of course it will! What else could do it’s roll?

It’s like Christmas has come all at once.

The strong Brexit supporting constituency has dismissed the one who brought them Brexit and even more joyous news the government has signed a deal for 0.01% boost to the GDP over the next 15 years.

Why do people bother to respond to threads like this it’s just the same thing over and over again. It’s only purpose to give certain posters yet another platform for their anti Boris rhetoric. I only looked at it because I don’t want to start wrapping Christmas presents. But on balance I think wrapping presents might be more interesting.

Feel free to get on with your wrapping then. This is a politics thread

this - simple

It’s nice they have somewhere to vent about Brexit and Boris with like minded folk.

Yes and I think there are more of us then you might realise.

So, how DO you think brexit is going?

Intelligence and Mogg are not two words that naturally spring to mind??.

He’s disgusting. He filibusters to stop important legislation go through. An ability to use verbal diahorrea at will doesn’t necessarily equate to intelligence.

Its no apostrophe!

Yes I agree WWmk2 that his ‘geeky’ persona is cultivated. No matter. He is intelligent. He has a grasp of his brief (no question ever put by the Opposition fazes him!). He takes great delight I think of promoting his old-fashioned gentlemanly behaviour.

The Madame Bouquet of the political world- at least she was funny.

Me too EV!

?? no one in this country speaks with the sort of upper class drawl that Mogg has cultivated, nor his exaggerated veneer of politeness and insolence. Even members of the RF don’t speak like Mogg.

He is an idiot. In fact you can’t even call him an upper class idiot as he comes from a relatively ordinary background whose parents bought him the start in life that most children do not have. I suspect that he adopted his persona whilst at boarding school to avoid being bullied.

JRM's a very clever man and I love hearing his " George Sanders " voice

I think HIGNFY will be more careful which politicians they invited to the show in future given that they kick started Johnson’s political ambitions. I find Rees Mogg chilling….

I don’t find JRM a fake at all.
He is endearingly polite, listens intently and replies with good humour and knowledge of the Byzantine rules & protocols of Parliament.

I'm afraid I'm a cynic when it comes to politics as there are always ulterior motives in whatever politicians think up.

If BJ had been true to his word on Brexit he'd have had it all worked out but the truth of the matter is that he was a Remainer and would have gone with the flow.

His " go Brexit " was a ploy to his Prime Ministership. I've always said this and still believe it so.

I wonder how long it will be before we'll see the comedic character Mogg invited by the Brexit Broadcasting Corporation onto HIGNFY?

He was on it a few years ago. Hislop introduced him as ",,The Honourable Member for the 17th century". I too used to find him a subject of humour. I don't now. He is a sneering supercilious fake.
