He often lauded his performance on crime, poverty, affordable homes and road deaths but in reality they were not much different to his predecessor. Remember he refused to cut his holiday short through the 2011 London riots, at a time when his City needed him. He is in for a baptism of fire with Iran, does he side with his bum chum Trump or with the EU's stance on the nuclear deal and opt for the diplomatic solution?

They're both allies, so back the EU with a diplomatic solution or the US hard line approach bearing in mind he risks alienating the other as a consequence?It's a tough call, i just hope he is upto these situations because he didn't show the leadership in the FO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwfcfan5 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Jesus - plot within the Tory party to have held a vote of confidence in Johnson in the commons immediately... This means there are numbers against no deal. So Johnson can as things stand not get no deal through parliament. I smell a very divisive and likely inconclusive general election round the corner.....unless Johnson is more interested in power than "no deal" - which we all know is the case.

Its true. I think the Tory party is finished regardless. Too many who clearly will not be able to work under Johnson. The ideologies clashing and Johnson isn't going to be able to bring them together longer term. Labour and Tory parties could well be finished as we know them.

Probably incorrect reading, in my view If there is a vote of no confidence, then I imagine the number of Labour MPs voting with the Government will exceed those voting against. It may be tight, but Boris, and Brexit, will edge it. Just my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have the 30 odd ministerial remainers...plus the Grieve's and backbench Tories. So that would be potentially 60 Tories against Johnson. You think any Labour MPs would give a vote of confidence to the government? Like a single one? That would be odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the majority of those abstaining would vote against the Gvt to stop no deal. With the likelihood of a Gvt majority of 3 after the Brecon byelection the Gvt can't afford any Tory MPs to vote against them. This is making a GE much more likely https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2019/jul/18/did-your-mp-vote-to-block-parliament-being-prorogued Edited July 22, 2019 by Salford Trotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will flush out the anti-Corbyn Leaver constituency MPs who want to vote for their jobs and with their constituents as I say, just my view, happy to be wrong, as always.

So perhaps he just doesn't want to be associated with the far right no deal extremists who are a danger to our national security..and anti-British in every sense. As an aside apparently Boris didn't feel so well after his civil service briefing into the risks of no deal - especially after he was told that ensuring a supply of fresh food was not even top of the major priorities identified....when push comes to shove will the most Brexity of Brexiteers, bullshit Boris risk his premiership and push the no deal button - I'm going to bet not. Listen up you tedious turd. For a true definition of far right extremism, look no further than 8 years ago today, when that far right nutter, Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people in the Oslo attacks. That is far right extremism. You need to get a grip and stop reading bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
