Everyone knows it, Boris is faultless.
Marvelous scenes.

We should all be thankful to Boris because he listed as many brexit benefits as he could. One of these was getting the european super league cancelled. Yes folks. Our prime minister has claimed he was able to stop it because of brexit.

That actually made me laugh out loud.

Millions will now believe it.

As always, all I can say is that the electorate always gets the government it deserves.

Boris is the first Tory leader since Thatcher to have enough about him to actually have the balls to make changes that affect peoples lives.

This week he has talked about "drift and dither" and it is true that his predecessors Cameron and May had no vision whatsoever, no cojones to tackle big issues like social care, environment, immigration, policing.

You are better off ignoring his words and look at his decisions to see where he is taking the country. A Hard Brexit, withdrawal of SEISS grant / furlough / £20 a week Universal Credit and no emergency visas other than those just to put a turkey on the table and Xmas presents under the tree says "Britain - get back to work." He is also putting pressure on employers to raise wages and has chastised them for relying on cheap Eastern European labour.

This is a risky strategy. What if British workers aren't prepared to fill the hospitality / care work / fruit and veg picker / HGV driver vacancies left behind by departing EU citizens?

What if they are prepared to fill those vacancies on increased wages ? The days of phone a friend in the EU are over with supressed wages hopefully coming to a end .

Which of them will you be applying for, Das Reich?

 

[Dorset Seagull]

His party are all of a like mind which gives Starmer no chance. Labour stretches from the far left staunch union members to the right wing Blairites

But increased wages without increased productivity just increases prices and pushes up interest rates. It won't be long under Johnson before inflation is out of control and people with mortgages are facing much higher monthly payments, so the result of Johnson in charge may well be higher wages but disposable income will actually be less, so most will actually be worse off.

Even the cost of the treasured blue passports will no doubt increase.

Seems that just our poorer members of society discover they will be £86 a month worse off our work and pensions secretary was singing "I had the time of life"..

Isn't it just great to see everyone having such a great time?

As Johnson enjoys his inflation happiness will be yet more real terms pay cuts for key workers? I see trouble ahead

He's an utter ****.

Ain't that the truth.

If you increase wages and increase productivity so that 3 people do the work that 5 used to do. 3 people will be paid more, 2 will be laid off, and the total wage costs will be lower.

No business will flood the market with their wares.

Tempted to read your take on the Boris gang....

Where, say?

Presumably you will believe every word if it is heresay (or heresy; your spelling and punctuation are not up to Englishman standard - I suspect you're foreign), given your addiction to Fake News websites

Worthing MP Peter Bottomley thinks MPs should be paid as well as GPS. Vile

Boris on fire this morning and firing from the hip , what a inspirational man and made Starmer look like a wet lettuce.
No wonder he commands a eighty seat majority and long may it continue

When the Hitler / Nazi fanboys start praising the government, you realise just how far right it's become.

It's quite amusing seeing how many people are dead set against workers at the bottom end finally getting decent wage increases now the supply of endless imported cheap labour has gone. I'm sure they always thought about inflationary pressures when they were feathering there own nests ...

Not exactly cheap labour, a small reduction in certain sectors

 

[Baldseagull]

"It has become clear to me that this isn’t just a joke – they really do want to rewrite our national story, starting with Hereward the Woke. We really are at risk of a kind of know-nothing cancel culture, know-nothing iconoclasm. We Conservatives will defend our history and cultural inheritance not because we are proud of everything, but because trying to edit it now is as dishonest as a celebrity trying furtively to change his entry in Wikipedia, and it’s a betrayal of our children’s education."

An interesting analogy, of all the instances of dishonesty he could have had. Maybe furtively editing his Wikipedia page was what his most recent act of disinformation was, but surely his back catalogue of bullshitting could have provided him a more colourful example than that?

There was nothing to stop any government from raising the minimum wages.

And, in the meantime, Sir Peter Bottomly, is grizzling that he can’t manage on £82K per annum, and wants MPs to have a wage rise.

There’s farms offering up to 70k PA wages for seasonal work so we are letting crops rot, excess pigs be slaughtered etc and still our out of work can’t be motivated ?
