    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Only trouble is yet again the vast majority of public see Boris as correct. Corbyn just knocks more nails in Labour coffin. Who actually cares what happens to mmurderers, rapists etc etc. Voting public dont. The only ones that do are those people looking for stuff to get at Boris with. I, d vote...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Wrong again, I have never ever voted Tory. Strongly believe in Socialism and Labour, just not our current incarnation . Its a corruption of real Labour, as bad as New Labour was probably worse because this one will never see power. It's such as you, OG, Corbyn, and co who have hijacked Labour...

Boris is actually...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Remember we have the likes of Agnew and co to thank for current Tory government. Its attitudes like his that have driven voters away from labour. Ignore him.

    Ban on UK ic car sales brought forward to 2035

    I think Boris is actually making right noises on many issues. His stance on this, sentencing for terrorists and many other things is getting lots of support. Once I think an EV is capable of coast and back with a 40 mile reserve and can carry my windsurf kit and for a reasonable price I, ll be...
