I think the pork pies incident just shows that we have a PM who is a reflexive liar. Like Trump, the truth for Johnson is something to be looked at from a distance and avoided at all cost.

You can't get more of a charisma contrast than Theresa May and Boris Johnson, and there's no doubt the EU know that Boris is prepared to leave with No Deal.
The problem is that I can't conceive of any 'Deal' the EU will offer the UK that will in any way satisfy Boris's objectives. It's all froth, bluster, posturing and gladhanding but no substance.
What's been significant is that the Tories have improved in the polls while Labour has dipped, and there's a 12-point gap opened up between Tory and Labour. If there's a General Election before we leave the EU Corbyn will take a shoeing unless the other parties are prepared to stand aside and not split the anti-Brexit vote. That would be a bitter pill to swallow for the majority of Remainers who look at Corbyn's historic voting record and see a Brexiteer.

It's been a bad week.
This hasn't aged well.
Oh dear. I hope you demonstrate better judgement with the financial advice you impart.

Better than many thought.

I've voted labour many a time, but will not now. We've never had a worse political climate in my lifetime, it just seems like an inward spiral at the moment.
The tweet from MP, Nick Boles (former Tory, now independent), says it all.
"The parliamentary term is less than 3 days old and already the world has discovered what whose of us who have worked with Boris Johnson have always known: he is cowardly, weak, vindictive and without morals. Behold your Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen."
