It was those 15 million plus individuals who made the democratic choice to take Britain out of the EU. Boris implemented the democratic choice the British people made. Further to the present reasons for the Prime Minister to ensign is the issue of the border in the sea between Britain and N. Ireland which was created after we left the EU.

altus 540 #4238 Posted February 2, 2022 Just now, West 77 said: Over15 million British people voted to take Britain out of the EU. It was those 15 million plus individuals who made the democratic choice to take Britain out of the EU. Boris implemented the democratic choice the British people made. Putin wanted brexit because he knew it would weaken both the UK and the EU. Then there's the small matter of the Intelligence and Security Committee's Russia report Quote The British government and intelligence agencies failed to conduct any proper assessment of Kremlin attempts to interfere with the 2016 Brexit referendum, according to the long-delayed Russia report. The damning conclusion is contained within the 50-page document from parliament’s intelligence and security committee, which said ministers in effect turned a blind eye to allegations of Russian disruption. It said the government “had not seen or sought evidence of successful interference in UK democratic processes” at the time, and it made clear that no serious effort was made to do so. “The report reveals that no one in government knew if Russia interfered in or sought to influence the referendum because they did not want to know,” said Stewart Hosie, a Scottish National party MP who sits on the cross-party committee.

I didn't know there was a vacancy? Johnson is linking up with strategist Lynton Crosby again, so it looks as though he's up for a fight? There's a vacancy alright. Johnson's entire moral compass is absent. There is a vacancy for a trustworthy and competent PM. Surely that isn't too much to ask for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That doesn't mean he didn't welcome the result or try to influence how people voted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mister Gee 823 #4242 Posted February 2, 2022 2 hours ago, West 77 said: The Zac Goldsmith mayoral campaign deserved to fail because it was a negative campaign unlike the successful positive campaigns in which Boris was involved. It didn’t turn out bad for old Zac though, Johnson gave him a life peerage in the House of Lords after he lost his parliamentary seat due to the democratic choice of his constituents.

How naive you are showing yourself to be. Putin has as much influence of the British electorate as Boris without Cummings has - one knows how to influence the electorate and buy votes, the other knows how to party and lose votes. Boris is a washed up has been only good for breaking his own laws, making racist remarks and being a sexist bully - very similar to Putin, but without Putin's power. For instance - levelling up???? No money, no plans and no futures - but you still expect the people of South Yorkshire to support him? Get real. What has he ever done for us? Nothing, zippo, zilch, nada.,.. or can you provide some facts to refute this? p.s. note the word facts... Brexit has still not proven any value... Over to you Westie... waiting... waiting... 2 hours ago, Mister Gee said: It didn’t turn out bad for old Zac though, Johnson gave him a life peerage in the House of Lords after he lost his parliamentary seat due to the democratic choice of his constituents. So what does that prove - being a sexist lapdog who sides with Boris pays off...? No integrity, no moral fibre, no future... Boris won't go for a vote of no confidence because he knows the country has no confidence in him... Boris out now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Opposition to Johnson is by no means only external to the party.
