Re: Boris

I admire his journalist skills, but he has no moral compass.
I've gone right off him since I learnt that he knew british women were being charged by the Home Office when they were offered repatriation from forced abusive marriages.
Women who'd been sent off to 'correctional school' (soft porn term for shackling beating whipping etc) in Somalia, for resisting forced marriages, charged for the fare to come home.

He knew when he was in office, and did nothing about it.
Shame on you Boris!

Re: Boris

I think Ian Duncan Smith would be a better choice than Boris, and Jeremy Hunt would be good as Chancellor, that way Boris could move to Home Secretary and JRM as Foreign Secretary.

Obviously a tad short on memory aren't we ??? - you seem to have forgotten that that idiot IDS was previously leader of the scumbag 'nasty party', made a complete hash of it and was ousted by disaffected back-bench scumbags. Just look what a complete 'pigs ear' he made as secretary of State in the DWP and his 'pet' the Universal Credit' fiasco.

I know he was - and I remember the speech about the "quiet man".

Thing is, that IDS, Boris, Hunt etc all have government experience and the labour front bench have none. I guess that says it all really about Corbyn and his bunch of snobs.

Universal credit was supported by labour by the way....

Yes it was until Osborne, as part of the Budget cut the rates of benefit payments - barsteward !!! - incidentally that was the given reason that IDS resigned as Minister.

Re: Boris

From where I sit, I cannot see any one person standing out as a leader. Mind you Cameron popped up from somewhere without us suspecting.

Somehow, I think British politics is likely to change in the not too distant future. Was it Vince Cable who quite recently suggested leaders of political parties to be 'Big Business Bosses' and not elected MP's ?

Probably be multi-nationals and we'd end up with a French or a German !

Cut the budget to the rollout of universal credit I think was what happened.

It was still supported by labour though ....

Probably was under Milliband, but I bet one of the minority voices against it in the Nu-Labour ranks was Corbyn - a man of principle.

Is this the same man of principle who lied to millions of students about their loans ?
