UK UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson - A loco recordarentur operum verborumque eius

[Total Power]

What Colvile seems totally unaware of is that even Vote Leave backtracked on the £33bn pledge – through Change Britain, a successor to Vote Leave founded by leaders of the original campaign including Gisela Stuart and err … Boris Johnson.

The Change Britain website has been taken down, but you can see it in an archive HERE.

In a briefing note for editors from 2017 provided by Change Britain, which clearly Colvile didn’t receive, didn’t read, or didn’t understand, we can see at the top of page 6 they say the likely “gains from scrapping burdensome Single Market rules” are actually £1,219,590,000.

Vote Leave, or Change Britain as it became, had quietly downgraded the promised £33bn to just £1.2bn. Presumably this was after realising the Conservative Party might have to ‘deliver’ the massive and completely unrealistic savings.

The pro-Brexit media – where ignorance is bliss

There are still plenty of influential Brexit commentators who haven't quite got it

They really have their best and brightest in charge.

The British Foreign Secretary told the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry about the need to withdraw Russian armed forces from the Ukrainian border. Sergei Lavrov replied that the military is on the territory of his country. Liz Truss repeated that they should be withdrawn. To this, the Russian minister again objected that the military is not violating anything, since they have the right to conduct any maneuvers on the territory of the Russian Federation.

After that, he himself addressed a question to his British colleague: “Do you recognize the sovereignty of Russia over the Rostov and Voronezh regions?”

“Great Britain will never recognize Russian sovereignty over these regions,” the Foreign Minister replied after a short pause.

British Ambassador to the Russian Federation Deborah Bonnert had to intervene in the situation, who delicately explained to Mrs. Truss that we were really talking about Russian regions.

Liz Truss is a joke, and it's a very worrying thing for her to be named as a possible successor to Bojo. Even though Bojo intentionally makes himself look like a dumb arse, he's really an intelligent and cunning person, just utterly devoid of morality. Truss on the other hand is a Sarah Palin-level idiot. How she got anywhere near the corridors of power is a mystery.

I can't take Liz Truss seriously after this:



She's a total lightweight.

“Remarks by the British foreign secretary Liz Truss that China could engage in military aggression in the Pacific, encouraged by Russia’s contingent moves against Ukraine, are nothing short of demented,” Paul Keating said on Saturday.

“Not simply irrational, demented.”

Do you reckon Rishi Sunak dyes his hair?

The TV lights aren't doing him any favours but it is brilliantly black and shiny.

But how can you not go past a premier who rocks a safari suit

It's like we want to sleepwalk into disaster. There is plenty of history to show that Johnson is not fit for office, yet we elected him anyway. As a country we're in this shambles because we voted for him. We're creating so many rods for own backs, and what's worse, we don't seem to want to deal with it.

I suspect he will survive this (cockroaches are good at surviving), but it will hurt him. His political future is going to be short, regardless.
