A microcosm of why Boris shouldn't be PM 08:28 - Jun 15 with 3933 views | Herbivore | https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jun/15/boris-johnson-failed-to-prot When in office he had the power to do something and just couldn't be arsed (this is far from the only suggestion that he didn't really do much as Foreign Secretary either). As soon as he's out of the job he's writing a column calling for exactly the thing he could have done himself whilst in office. He's a publicist and a blagger, that's all he is. He's fit to agitate from the sidelines but is utterly unfit for any kind of responsibility. | |

Indeed, it looks like the other members of the WTO are viewing the Uk with some distaste If the WTO survives the Trump attack (with others) things for the UK may not be as easy as the brexiters would like? | | | |

He's fit to agitate from the sidelines but is utterly unfit for any kind of responsibility When you see the mess the conservative party is in it is hard to understand why the Labour party isn't attracting much higher support in opinion polls . Both major parties need a much younger leadership, fresh ideas not old ideologies. | |

Rubbish. It’s the young voters that love Corbyn- he is offering something new. It’s the over 60’s older Labour voters that don’t like him. They buy The Sun or Mail and believe them to be left wing papers. | |

The amount of anti labour in the media and some social media is it really so surprising that no party is really challenging the tories other than the Farage millionaires party? Money talks doesn't it? | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Traditional tory supporters are turning to Mr farage, you should have got that from two bits of evidence 1/ the tory party claims 60% of their membership voted for the brexit party 2/ Mr Johnsons is being sold as the Farage beater So far none of them have given us the UK public much hope any (maybe Rory S alone? ) = confrontation with the EU will only see on e looser in the long run. The rich will be OK, the rest not. | | | |

Boris and the Dear Leader have a lot in common. They're both lazy racist incompetents bent on implementing an at-all-costs Brexit who are inexplicably popular with a somewhat cult-like following. [Post edited 15 Jun 2019 10:17]

I can not agree with your last paragraph. Rather than 'young' leadership and new ideas we need competent leaders (of any age) who are able to make things work and get us out of the almighty mess we are in. | |

You'd probably get the hard Brexit you were desperate for last week. Although it's likely you've changed your mid since then. | |

None, of the Oldens, come to mind as competent leaders hence the need to give the next generation a chance. | |

Given that younger voters are overwhelmingly pro-EU, there are problems ahead which the Dear Leader may not have thought through. | |

The dear leader will not be around that long he is only interested in the next election, not the one after that | |

Corbyn will hurt the young people he's anti business and the young dont understand its businesses which drive the world, they employ the people which result in taxes and its those taxes the government use for public services. Thankfully older people understand that simple fact of life. | | | |

Yep. What politics actually needs is for politicians to embrace the principles the TIGers were supposed to be standing for. Although it’s quite evident from their failure to get off the ground that our politicians have no truck with evidenced-based decision making, openness, honesty, equality and a socially-focussed approach to macroeconomics. Even if we could just start first with a bit of honesty and integrity, it would be a huge improvement. | |

Your getting confused between the different types of taxes, but still the answer is the same business drive a country. Unfortunately some people actually think a socialised nationalised can create businesses, so so wrong. The reason the US is so successful is they understand that, entrepreneurs create new businesses. No socialist government has ever created a new business all they do is nationalise them. History has taught us left socialised governments equals increased unemployment, it shouldn't be like that if they work with businesses. I hate Blair with a passion but at least he understood that, with JC all businesses are seen as the "bad guys'. I've not got many years left on this planet but I'll try and hold on and if JC gets into power I can then post told you so as unemployment increases. | | | |
