But not to carry the blame of Brexit
No get Brexit out of the way then get Labour in to sort out the railways,gas,electric.water and the NHS funding. Can't see why people are scared of JC , The above policies would improve the average persons life a lot more than the Conservatives could ever do. Yes it will cost but unless you're on £80k Then I wouldn't worry too much (that's what MPs will be on )

How about starting with a no-confidence in Johnson motion right now?

Labour will try to force a vote of no confidence in the next prime minister as soon as they take office, John McDonnell said, as Conservative candidates throw their hats into the ring to succeed Theresa May.

Yes - I know this probably is an impossibility.

"Most".

Do you have data to support such a quantitative argument?

Or are you just blowing smoke out of your ar se?
That is truly funny are you seriously expecting us to believe Boris is popular with any but a few idiots here?
Good joke
He's as much a laughing stock as the Conservative Party

Water cannon? Even TM...

The London mayor has written to the home secretary outlining plans to equip the Met Police with water cannon.

Boris Johnson wrote to Theresa May to say that he will consult the public on their views on use of the devices in "extreme circumstances".

A final decision by London policing authorities is expected in February, Mrs May would then have to decide whether to licence the machines.

But the Home Office insists it will not fund the purchase of water cannon.

The mayor is hopeful the crowd-control weapons will be available for police in London by the summer.

There are plans to buy three cannon from Germany costing £30,000 each which would be modified for use in the UK.

Fortunately saner minds would not have made matters worse as you propose, are you seriously in favour of escalating matters to the point of war on the streets?
eco terrorist indeed! what utter rot.
Anyone who makes a nuisance of themselves in your cosy right wing world is a terrorist?

look up the definition of "appropriate response" and learn.

He bought them without any checks, not realising they were completely illegal here and the Home Office unwilling to make them legal.

They weren't even in working condition so he spent lots more money on repairs, hoping to get a permission he never got. They were eventually sold at a big loss.

Just another of the many things he got expensively wrong as London's mayor.

"Yes it would cost but.."

Classic logic from those who simply don't get the 'creating-wealth' side of the equation.

I like you Dave - but sometimes you say the silliest things.

Thing is - the funding for the NHS (to take just one of those) - is not going to be solved by simply throwing more money at it. It is fundamentally flawed. It needs a complete re-think on how to run the thing - on the lines of many countries in the EU funnily enough (with still free-at-point-of-service but funded through a mix of direct grants, patient payment and insurance).

As for the rest - they are planning to literally steal those industries from the people that now own them. Really. They will buy them at the value THEY say they're worth not the stock market value. No this is not Russia or some tin-pot African Banana Republic - this is the UK government breaking the most basic of property laws to fund its own economic armageddon. It's beyond belief. But people like you support it. It is utterly beyond comprehensible unless you have literally no idea how economics works.
