After 6 years from the Brexit vote of 2016, disloyal remainer Conservatives manage to gather more than the 54 letters for the 1922 Committee to trigger a vote of Confidence in Boris Johnson. If history repeats itself, then that betrayal will lead to a Labour Government. The Labour Party do the dirty work and through a series of bad deals designed to harm the UK, will take the country back into the EU. This action is the greatest betrayal in the history of modern politics and shows how a small elite can hold a country to ransom. Every Conservative MP voting against the PM needs to be removed from public office to clear the decks for Global UK.

It's not just those undemocratic traitors known as "bitter remainers." Boris' tenure as Prime Minister is not going well; disaster after disaster appears to be the norm. He may have been unlucky to get Covid while seeking to resolve Brixit, but let's face it: he's a total numpty and does not appear to be in control. Inflation has exploded as the value of the pound has plummeted as oil prices and other items are priced in dollars, and he has done nothing to stop it. The National Health Service is on the verge of imploding. People are unable to pay their electricity bills. His only saving grace is that he's better than anything Lie@bour could come up with.
ReplyDeleteHi George. If boris would get brexit finished properly, limit immigration and get rid of green surcharges on energy bills he may have a chance at the next election. He needs to reestablish the conservative party to the right of where it presently stands.
DeleteI hope your health has improved. Harvey
Agreed! plus the reason Boris's neck is on the chopping block is his insistence on the UK doing it's own thing on the "Global Stage". Everything, every attack, media article etc is driven by that.
DeleteIt doesn't look as though anyone has a clue how to achieve Global UK and it doesn't look as if it's even on Boris's agenda. I suspect many MP's are just following the will of their constituents. It does make you wonder though what Independence would entail, with the absolutely dreadful quality of MSP's we have. Brexit has a chance of coming good, but Independence has no chance whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteI remember Max Hastings of The Telegraph, when asked re Boris's suitability to be PM said something like: 'no chance....he's fundamentally unsuitable for it....he'll soon get bored with it'. He's done some good things, but it's time for a change. Not Liz, Jeremy or Rishi though. Maybe David Frost is an outside bet that might work.
Your presentation is now great, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI remember when the Brexit referendum was taking place, there were some excellent people for and equally excellent people against. It made me think that if we voted to leave, there wouldn't really be that big a change and so why take the risk?
The way it has turned-out has been worse that I had expected though. What's worrying me is that no-one is trying to identify where opportunities from Brexit exist and no-one is pursuing them. Liz Truss did for a few months but then stopped for some reason. So, we're in stasis and no-one knows what to do to get us re-set and re-started.
One one side of the argument you have J.R-M and on the other side, Tobias Ellwood. What I am noticing is that Tobias Ellwood is being listened to more than J.R-M. He's playing to the crowd of course, but that's the situation.
In some ways I think we should never have had the referendum in the first place. The issues were far too complex for most of the public to understand and to be blunt about it, that's what we elect MP's to do and get right for us. The Independence referendum was the same and has just opened a can of worms. Some people, a small number mind-you, continue to make a fantastic living out of what is nothing more than a pipe-dream.
David Cameron has disappeared now and doesn't want to talk about Brexit. No wonder.
Politicians aren't betraying him in as much as Boris is an innocent guy being set-upon by a dishonest bunch of folk that should be grateful to him. The public in the main have grown to distrust him now and that is terminal for any politician.
ReplyDeleteBrexit has happened and whether we like it or not it will remain. France would exact revenge on us if we re-joined and so I do not see that happening. What we need now is a PM who is fixed upon making it work for the UK. I'm not convinced it will ever be a great success, but we need to try harder to make it work than we are doing just now.
2 things: Starmer called it a 'thin deal' but acknowledged that it was what it was and Labour would not attempt to renegotiate it. Also, this £20m for an independence referendum...if the referendum was to be legal, then fair enough. If it was to be illegal, then it is not fair enough is it? The legal advice is there, with Sturgeon and Swinney. Should we not be told what it is? Is this not a clear public interest disclosure?
ReplyDeleteNever mind the Brexit stuff the word you're looking for George is integrity the PM doesn't know what it means and has misled Parliament on quite a few occaisions. He has then changed the rules on the ministerial code . He is not fit to hold office Downing street might be a big building but I don't think that it's that soundproofed he probably knew what was going on. For misleading Parliament alone he is not fit to hold office. This will just go on and on I doubt he will resign but I can see the 1922 comittee changing the rules especially if the next 2 by elections are lost. There was a good interview with one of his ex girlfriends on TV this morning.
ReplyDeleteKate Forbes has taken to Twitter to tell us all that the UK is forecast to be the worst performing country within the G20 this year, bar Russia. What she neglects to tell us is that Scotland will be the worst performing country within the UK. What I would like to know is who made money out of these Ferguson ferries. Some folk have made a hell of a lot of money in 9-months. Are we any closer to finding-out who they are yet? Will we find-out on Kate Forbes Twitter account?.....or is that just for pedalling mischievous Holyrood political shite?
ReplyDeleteIt would help everyone's enthusiasm for Brexit if we were to hear an update from time to time on the progress of Freeports or inward foreign investment.
ReplyDeleteFrom today's Independent: 'This is the point of Johnson, and he is rather good at it. British politics has been defined for a very long time now by the undoubtedly impressive salesmanship of one man, shifting tickets to his own magic world of the palpably untrue. And all that’s happened in the last two and a half years, but even more so in the last six months, is the dawning realisation among the punters that it’s all been a con. And that’s not going to change.'
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you highlight anything from the msm unless it's to further the anti Boris agenda.
DeleteI notice that two respected figures in the Conservative Party, David Frost (who negotiated the latter stages of Brexit) and Philip Hammond both announced yesterday that Boris has until the autumn to turn things around. Otherwise there will be some sort of move against him. In the meantime, I don't notice any moves in Scotland to remove Sturgeon and Swinney and that it doesn't seem to matter how much corruption, nepotism and negligence surrounds them. This appears to me to be some sort of Mafia-style organization encamped in Holyrood that have the grip of fear on everyone these days.
ReplyDeleteYep including the "free" press.
DeleteIan Lawson is I think a figure within the SNP. Maybe an erstwhile MSP - who knows. He writes every now and again about the situation here and he reckons the fundamental problem we have in Scotland lies not at Holyrood but within the civil-service which, reading between the lines, he considers is some way short of the standards required of an honest public facing civil service. I have dealt with the Scottish civil-service a lot in recent times and I can only agree with him. There's something wrong though when the Scotland Office, who pay them, cannot and will not intervene to sort-out this growing public perception that we now have a bent and political civil-service in Scotland. So, if you support the SNP you will rise to the top effortlessly and if you don't support the SNP you will not.
ReplyDeleteA dose of high inflation will soon see a change in the political fortunes of Boris and Sturgeon. This is where profligate spending over the years will leave Scotland looking for a hand-out. Give it a few more months and if there isn't a change of trajectory, the knives will be out then.
ReplyDeleteI was shopping yesterday and couldn't believe the increase in some food stuffs. Coffee last year £1.65, now £3.75, butter £2.10 now £4.20. Then we have electricity bills going up 100% and petrol 50%. All this within one year. They can blame Brixit/Ukraine but I happen to remember when the UK joined Europe. Everything went up in price like 100% within two years.
ReplyDeleteThe guy who brought us Brexit might not be the best guy to make it work. Personally speaking, I neither like nor dislike Boris, but there are certainly many who do dislike him and they know him better than I do.
ReplyDeleteThat aside, it was noticeable that today's announcement by Nicola Sturgeon that she was doing this and that to achieve independence next year has been treated with disinterest. No-one cares any longer.
I notice that WoS is still going on a sort of part-time half-hearted basis. That said, it is still excellent. Some of the contributors remarked upon how Alex Salmond presented the launch of the last Independence referendum. It was full of life and he carried many people along with him with that enthusiasm. Sturgeon has none of that and doesn't even look that interested. It's as if she feels that she has to do it to keep the troops on side. I thought the presentation was garbage personally and I would never dream of voting for it. It will never happen, of course. It is a distraction from the God-awful bind that they have gotten us all into. Rather than 45% of the vote which they got the last time, I reckon they would get 35% to 40% this time. Independence is dead.
ReplyDeleteI notice that £2Billion has been scammed by the SNP from the Westminster block grant. The increase was to pay for increased NHS and Council spending due to Covid, but it has gone. No-one knows where it is; not even Audit Scotland. Astonishing.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Scotland is truly f'd with this level of third world governance.
DeleteAfter they Nationalized Fergusons at Port Glasgow, they sacked most of the design office and so no-one had much of a clue what was going-on. Someone decided to move the electrical control panels to a different location. No-one has explained why. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Cost of this, in replacing cables that were too short......£8.7million. If you believe that you'll believe anything but that is what Scotgov are saying.
ReplyDeleteThings move quickly in politics and with the resignation of Johnson's ethics advisor and the likelihood that another will not be appointed, it looks to me anyway as if Johnson will be removed sooner or later. He may well kick and scream and all the rest of it but he will be removed. He has turned himself into some sort of Berlusconi character and for that he won't be forgiven.
ReplyDeleteOur own Nicola Sturgeon turned herself into a Berlusconi character a couple of years ago since and she is as good at it as Berlusconi was. Remember the Fabiani Inquiry and the pages and pages of redacted testimony? Not even Berlusconi would have managed to pull that one off. So, Sturgeon is good at something.
Fraser Nelson writes a column in The Telegraph from time to time. Today he was saying that Scotland has the highest per-capita rate of civil-servants (that term always amuses me, you know) in the whole world. That's amazing and if it says nothing else it tells you that Scotland couldn't make a go of it as an independent country in a million years.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/sturgeon-s-prolonged-referendum-stunt-will-backfire-on-her-brian-wilson/ar-AAYAeOX?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=cac85e1697804b48bee6b5091bb7f7e1
ReplyDeleteThis week's Scotsman article by Brian Wilson. I noticed also that Dani Garavelli is moonlighting as a journalist again in the Guardian. Is she not a paid-up employee of Nicola Surgeon at St Andrews House these days? She doesn't say that. She signs-off her article as 'Dani Garavelli - freelance journalist'.
Anyway, her article started off by saying that 'independence must be about more than just hating the English'. I can't say that her article explained to me that it was about any more than that. I read it twice and that was an effort, but it is an empty box, devoid of any substance or detail. If, after 15 years, that's all they have then it has all been a con.
Once the public understand that there is going to have to be a trade border with England, the idea is dead. These are a bad idea, full-stop. If we are not careful, we are going to end-up in the same situation as Northern Ireland where the majority are happy with the status quo with the UK but a small minority fuck it up for everyone. You can tell that Scotland is getting itself into the same situation where the rest of the UK are saying: 'just have your vote and leave then'.
Nice to see you back George and I hope you are well on the way up.
ReplyDeleteAs for boris, he was elected by the people, rightly or wrongly depending on how you feel, and should not be ousted by the "usual tory suspects" unless he calls a GE. Watch their faces then.
I wonder if we will get an online indy referendum this time as the councils sure ain't gonna be interested in organising it.
Can't imagine why.......
The National are suggesting that the referendum, indyref2, will be consultative and non-binding. That way it gets around the lack of Section 20. Having said that, it sounds certain to fail. These dopes cannot organize a census, what chance do they have of organizing a non-binding referendum? Fabulous news for Unionists....they'll just boycott the vote. The Nationalists will be lucky to get 30% this time.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're keeping OK, George. Your angle on things is always valuable. Some times I don't agree with it, but most times I do. Plus, there's something about the presentation, whether that be written or video, that is compelling.
ReplyDeleteTrying to gauge public opinion is a funny thing but just now it looks like it is all going against Boris.
ReplyDeleteEven socialists voted for the Tories in the most recent general election. No matter how terrible Boris is, he is still far superior to any champagne Islington elite. I stated in a post on this blog back in 2010 or so that lie@bour wouldn't have power again until 2028. I stand by that today.
ReplyDelete....in the meantime, Vladimir has taken to bombing shopping malls at mid-day on a Monday afternoon so that they are guaranteed to be full of women and kids. I have a brother-in-law who knows plenty of Russians and he doesn't trust any of them.
ReplyDeleteI was watching an interview there between Alex Salmond and Beth Rigby of Sky News. What a great communicator he is. Among other things he said that a Crown Office investigation was going-on into leaks from the Scottish Government and a Police investigation into perjury at the High Court during his infamous show-trial. He makes Sturgeon and Swinney appear like a pair of crooks. Indyref2 wil be a failure if presented by these two.
ReplyDeleteThe 'de facto' general election has fallen on its arse already.
ReplyDeleteHolyrood's on holiday now and that's great. No more shite from James Dornan and these other Holyrood tools.....for a few months anyway.
ReplyDeleteI notice that Kier Starmer's ruled-out any deal with the SNP after the next GE. That will do the Labour Party a great deal of good all over the UK, not only in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteThe countries set for negative growth this year and next? - Russia and the UK. Not looking good for Boris or the Conservatives if that happens.
We have two choices: Leave Holyrood open and things will get worse; waiting times longer, educational standards poorer, drugs deaths and suicides more prevalent, lawyers more bent, we'll all listen to Angus Robertson speak of 'democracy in this place' as if Holyrood is a real parliament rather than a devolved administration. Or, we can shut it down. I'm all for shutting it down. Things will start to improve instantly. All Holyrood does is provide a fabulous living for a very few people. It has been a nightmare for everyone else.
ReplyDeleteIs this the end-game for Nicola Sturgeon, John Swinney and the SNP? It sounds and looks like it.
ReplyDeleteFrom the letters pages. Not my own work then, but it's hard to disagree with any of this:
ReplyDelete'Nasty' - Yes, but they are a party steeped in small-minded bigotry so that seems to be as expected.
'Weak' - Any party that relies on a coalition is going to be weak.
'Self-interested' - Show me a political party that will not act against the national interest to further it's own interests.
By far the most important failing is missing from the headline, Sturgeon and her ministers are utterly and completely ******* INEPT. They are without talent, ability, intellect or gravitas, an utterly vile amalgam of bigotry and abject witlessness with the charm of a steaming pile of skunk ****.
That people still vote for them is the ultimate condemnation of the Scottish education system. They seem to have given up on all input after potty training.
They are two separate things....politics and law. A political party can print anything it likes on its agenda and folk can vote for it but they can only carry it out if it is legal and lawful. This is not that complex to understand, but over on WoS they are making it complex. Sturgeon and the SNP are finished. It is over for them. The music will soon stop and they will be left standing without a chair to sit-on.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we'll now see any of the ringfenced £600-grand?
ReplyDeleteThere appears to be a constant 24/7 attack on Boris, every day, 7 days a week. Donald Trump, the ex president of the United States, was the most recent leader to suffer such unfavorable press.
