He's had a pig of a year, probably more difficult than other PM's have had for a long time.
What has made me appreciate him is that he listened to the majority of people, who voted to leave, and made sure their vote became reality! That is what any PM should do & if anybody has complaints he can say " I did what you asked in the best way I could"
If life is difficult after we are out, we have nobody to blame but the voters, as I know that the Remainers who didn't want to leave were either in the minority or just couldn't be bothered to vote!
What we need now is a PM that can continue for a number of years, without constant criticism from those who are wanting his position.
Things are unlikely to be easy for a few years, but at least we will have greater control over what we can, or cannot do!
I wonder if we will think, in a few years, that Covid caused us a lot of problems... but at least it gave those who were anti-Boris something else to think about, rather than trying to force him to abandon Brexit
Looks like he has done what we asked him to.

That is politics for you.
Look on the bright side .
At least Diane Abbott is not costing it.
Look, no matter who says what the simple fact is that if this deal gets passed by both the UK parliament and by the EU parliament AND neither of us cedes sovereignty to the other then it is a win for everybody.
It makes life easier all round because as soon as leaving became a reality everybody knew there would be change, but this way there's less disruption.
It really is time for everybody to move on now.

Re: A Cheer For Boris!
I'm just so glad it's all over. It is all over, isn't it? nothing will change, we may get away with paying them less, but are we going to witness any financial benefits? No. And will the eu continue to make the world a better place in our absence? The answer is no, and a lot of people are going to get hurt.
But I do believe it was time to put the eu project to bed.

Well, that's what he did!
As the Telegraph points out, there are not many up there, in the HOP, who could have achieved it.
Next?
Continue the clear out!
Well done Boris.
p.s. Wise words from Nige, as well!!
p.p.s. Well done Frosty!
Next? Continue the clear out! ... what's that then?

Re: A Cheer For Boris!
Boris was 'the least worst option' for me but probably the only person in parliament capable of seeing Brexit through to the end.He picked a good negotiating team headed by Frost who I think has done the best job he could with what was available. A big improvement on Mays deal which would have kept to tied to the EU.
Boris is not a good orator , I think he finds spontaneity difficult when it comes to making speeches and he doesn't 'think before he speaks' . I often groan at the words that come out of his mouth .
I do think he has been dealt the worst possible hand as one disaster follows another, he battles on endlessly optimistic with a cheerful demeanor . It his wildest dreams he can't possibly have imagined his goal of being PM could have come with so many extreme events.
I think beneath all the ramblings and bluster Boris does have 'the common touch'. I hope eventually he will emerge as the person who laid the foundations for a different kind of prosperous uk.
