So do you think that Johnson is telling the truth when he announces that he would get Brexit over and done with if we left on October 31st or do you think he is telling lies to appeal to the perceived Brexit weary voters?

Calm down . Calm down. Take 10 minutes out and read that article from Ivan Rogers. It is in the Spectator which even you must agree is hardly a pinko rag. The point is that if we left the EU on 31 October , there will still be a need to negotiate a trade deal with our largest trade partners in the EU. It is completely false to think that leaving on 31 October would mean that Brexit would be over and done with.

I was about to post exactly the same comment. I wish that more people would understand this. Ivan Rogers's excellent piece makes it quite clear that trade talks with the EU have ages to run and leaving without a deal would prolong them even more.

I wonder if the Government could use this post in a campaign against the perils of excessive late night drinking.

Johnson takes lying to a new level. He was a journalist before entering the Commons and was sacked from the Times for making things up. As a journalist with the Telegraph he sailed close to the wind for his "ineffable duplicity" (quote from the owners of the Telegraph). After entering the Commons he was sacked by Tory leader Michael Howard for ... guess what ... lying. I have little trust in many politicians but Boris would win a good medal in any Lying Olympics.

It's those ******s from the People's Front of Judea who are hated by the Judean People's Front. Once the Romans are overturned ......

The more posts that Duckie makes , the more you realise that the Conservatives are becoming a narrow sect rather than a main stream political party. The British version of the "People's front of Judea." Letwin and Major are now the latest pinko infiltrators from the " Judean People's Front" who need to be removed from the Brotherhood.

I think you are correct. Johnson and Cummings know how to win elections and people seem to vote for lying incompents. I just hope that the GE does not happen for a good few weeks so that when it does happen more people will see the lying buffer for what he is.

Clearly Rudd has woken up and developed a backbone. Good for her This government is such a mess.

Yes.... and the EU consider his firm to sell poisonous chemicals. So he hates the EU.

That sums him up. He is a" big girl's blouse" telling people that he is putting them on ignore. As if they really care. You can see why any decent university rejected him despite the school he came from and why he studied at Pompey Poly.

I certainly hope so but the longer this goes on the more that voters can see that the man is a babbling liar. He does however have the knack of winning elections.... underestimate him at your peril.

If Johnson lost his seat but was still PM a backbencher in a safe Tory seat would be encouraged to stand down and cause a by election. The backbencher would be rewarded with a knighthood and other perks and Johnson would be the Tory candidate. It would take a few weeks to organise. The Tory electorate in the chosen constituency may not take too kindly to be treated this way but there would be enough voters there to ensure that the PM could stay in the House of Commons.

Now sold

If a no deal Brexit causes a food shortage at least Iain Duncan Smith won't go hungry.

Who is the most famous Pompey Poly graduate? Is he/she as thick as Guided Missile??

I agree. The other benefit from a longer delay is that the longer the delay, the more chance the public have to learn about the shambles of this government. Cracks are already beginning to appear in the Cabinet as the "vegetables" object to Dom and Dommer. These cracks are not going to get any smaller with time. Above all there will be more PMQ's and the chance to see Johnson's bluster and obfuscation in the Commons. His performance is quite cringeworthy. It certainly is amazing to see Corbyn look statesmanlike in comparison!!

I have tried to message you but apparently your account cannot accept private messages. You can hopefully send me one if you go to Private Messages on the top left hand side of the forum banner.

I have 2 spare tickets for next Tuesday's international. PM me if interested.

Johnson's record is played 3, lost 3. Not what most people would call "a blinder." Clearly Pompey Poly graduates do see things differently from most people.

.... you must be wrong. GM told us that Johnson was playing a blinder. Pompey Poly graduates are always correct.

A government declaring no confidence in itself is not a good look.

26. Got one of the lower league clubs but missed a couple of the obvious ones plus one other lower league club.

Perhaps Johnson 's biggest problem is that he is a born liar. Very few trust him or believe what he says. His career has been tainted by sackings for lying. His personal life is a mess due to his infidelities and lies. This means that he is not trusted. Even if he is now telling the truth and negotiations are proceeding well with the EU, he is not believed. Nobody trusts him not to switch the date of an election until after 31 October, even though he denies that this is in his plans. Theresa May was incompetent but at least her honesty was very rarely questioned. This bloke will ultimately be brought down by his dishonesty.
