Boris is now in for 10 years unless something totally unexpected happens. But I'm trying to see an upside in it and I'm hoping that now he's got such a large majority that he doesn't have to listen to the far right and maybe he'll behave like a liberal 'one-nation' Tory.
Maybe someone here can pray for him.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London.I am Finland.

Boris is a clown but he's no idiot - he's a very clever guy. He's no Trump, I have a feeling he'll surprise us.
Well we have to hope.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London.I am Finland.

Only three problems with that
1. It's probable that the Scots still don't want to leave the Uk2. The Scots need the consent of Parliament to become independent. Boris has already formally refused on the basis that they voted against it in a referendum and this Parliament will never agree. 3. The Scottish economy is a joke - it has a deficit of over 10% - it's subsidised by England. The EU won't allow a new member unless its deficit is under 3% quote: Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed.

So far there have been no benefits and many harms. Business is much harder, we haven't got any of those wonderful trade deals yet and we have a real chance of Scotland breaking up the Union and Northern Ireland going bad.
If we hadn't had the COVID crisis followed by Ukraine, the lack of Brexit benefits and NI disputes would be top of the news everyday.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien.

If the clown hadn't turned out to also be a pathological liar maybe things would have worked out better...

I've just watched her, it's going to be ok, she says she's going to fix everything.
She looks like a recently appointed head teacher of a small infant school. Oh dear.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London. Olen Suomi Soy Barcelona. I am Ukraine. "Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed.

Well the man has a brain, he's not mad and he's our first non-white PM. The markets have reacted positively to it - we're back where we where pre-Truss.
So yes, it's progress. I never thought I'd be relieved to see a conservative prime minister but these are strange times. Shit times ahead though. Oh, and he's Hindu. We've trumped Obama.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London. Olen Suomi Soy Barcelona. I am Ukraine.
