What makes you think I want Johnson to stay in post given I have stated previously I think he should resign. And what makes you think current Tory thinking is Johnson should stay in post? Prior to the invasion of Ukraine, Johnson was facing a backbench revolt.

and make no mistake, most politicians are in it for themselves. There's very few who are truly munificent with entirely altruistic intentions. Tony Benn springs to mind, and maybe Dennis Skinner.

there we are then, it must be false if it says so on the internet.

Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner aren't proper Labour because they wanted out of the EU!

I could hardly afford to feed myself when I left home, eating Instant Mash and tinned Mince.

Maybe you're right to say that you shouldn't trust all you read on fact checking sites - I'd forgotten about this example of the sort of syhsters who could use them for their own ends.

Plenty on the left wanted out of the EU.

I do wonder who within Tory HQ thought this was a good idea to do begin with? They must surely appreciate these things are brought out in the open soon enough.

Agreed, it just gives people like me another stick to beat them with.

Yep.
I was being sarky, because leavers seem to be painted as Right Wing.

Actually you can make a very good mackerel pate with relatively cheap ingredients. I make it quite often.

Relatively "cheap ingredients"? Sadly barring the Mackrell which used to be dirt cheap. I made some Mackrell Pate yesterday and cheap it ain't!
I assume your not the main shopper in the household?
