Bojo will be gone in 1 week

Massive news that. You can guarantee that there are probably a dozen or so red-wallers behind him too considering doing the same.

It's also interesting for Labour. Starmer will use it to show he can afford to lose Corbyn, who he is refusing to let back into the party. It also illustrates a potential new flank in Labours support; he's pro brexit and sat there in a union flag facemask.

You may not like it, but he is exactly the sort of person Labour need to win the next general election and he's exactly the sort of politician that would convince me it's okay to vote Labour.

On the other hand, it may create some disquiet within Labour I guess, but overall it's a clear win for them

Boris has to go sharpish. He's right on a lot of his economic defences etc but he's totally a damaged brand now.

So pro brexit wear a union flag face mask and they get your vote.

Weve got a fuel cost crisis but stand behind a flag and mask send a few boats out to stop the migrants sing rule Brittania thats what gets the vote.

We are fecked as a country.

Flags + empty slogans + the entire media establishment behind you = Brexit and the tory government.

Why must you deliberately misunderstand the point people are making?

Quite clearly not. It's nothing to do with him wearing a mask, although that was a deliberate act on his part.

No, the point is, Labour have been pretty anti-brexit for a few years, and probably lost a lot of seats as a result.

If they are now shifting towards making Brexit work, as opposed to trying to prevent it happening, then they will gain support in the kind of seats he represents.

Clearly you are pissed off about it mind, underlining how difficult it is to keep all factions together in politics.

What's your solution to the fuel crisis btw?

Diana Johnson's question in PMQs today made me chuckle:

"When a Prime Minister is spending his time trying to convince the British public that he is stupid rather than dishonest, isn't it time for him to go?"

Oooff.

I dont have a solution to the fuel crisis. However lets increase the pay of the thousands who have had a pay freeze , stop increasing the State Pension age , increase the minimum age in relation to the cost of living , dont cut the increase in UC , target the vulnerable and elderly who miss out on the millions of unclaimed allowances.

Tax avoidance needs to be sorted.

Its shameful as a country so many people relying on food banks.

The end to this pandemic needs to come sooner rather than later. Its ok ending restrictions but while the poorer countries are not getting vaccines another variant is always around the corner.

Is the UK Govt still blocking the patent waver?.

There are countries who could produce vaccines which cant. We need the world vaccinated. The UK has done fantastically with the vaccine program. But just lifting restrictions isnt going to mean a complete recovery with the virus still hanging over us and countries unable to produce vaccines.

Brexit is done. Next election it wont be a consideration. By the time the one after comes I hope the Brexiteers have been proved right and we are a thriving country. We will know by then if its been a success or not. Cummings himself has said he doesnt know if it will be a success.
