	at last boris has listed the brexit successes here. The list includes "forging ahead to remove the ban on selling in pounds and ounces and to restore the crown stamp onto the side of pint glasses." really, he said this!

Another BREXIT benefit Boris forgot to mention:


Thousands of websites taken offline in Brexit domain name change

That's typical Politico bullshit and an obvious lie.

The sites haven't been taken offline, just their .eu URLs have been revoked, the EU can't just take the sites down as the article (together with the headline) implies. If you know their IP they can still be reached, many will be available under a new domain name if it's worth it to hem.
leaveeuofficial.com for instance is the new domain for what used to be leave.eu

In short, almost 4 years after this thread was opened- do we all agree it's going swimmingly?

Might be less than a pinta per day when a quarter of Britain's milk is imported

What about those BYOBPs at Boris's - hope their brought champagne in Pint bottles, and not from France, hey.

This made me laugh ...

Tense days ahead as Boris Johnson waits to find out if enquiry ordered by Boris Johnson to be completed by Boris Johnson's mate, finds out if Boris Johnson attended a party at Boris Johnson's home !

From HIGNFU!

So much discussion now about whether Boris should resign or be pushed ... and the reply is regularly this 'he is an idiot, a liar and a fraud- but I forgive hime because he 'got Brexit done'.

Just seen this, from Deborah Meaden (she knows a thing or two about successful business!) - and the perfect answer to the above

''Those quoting 'he got Brexit done' ... any fool can sign an agreement... but if it doesn't work, and it doesn't deliver what was expected... then that is getting a SIGNATURE done
and leaving a shedload of trouble to unpick. That's where we are''

she forgot to say that the unpicking cannot be done by the UK unilaterally. The Deal has been signed, so any changes have to be approved by all sides. So, sorry, but NO- he has not got Brexit done.

An interesting opinion piece here:

As bad as Johnson appears to be, who would be the choice to get the Conservatives through the next election unscathed on such short notice?

For sure, a real concern. The ERG put him there to win a majority- he was their tool and clown, now served his purpose and become a liability. They will now want to appoint one of their own and gain full power.

Well shouldn't be long now before we know whether Boris Johnson's reputation as a 'Teflon Prime Minister' ( criticisms don't seem
to stick on him ) survives the Downing Street lockdown parties or not.

Well the Australians kicked Novax out, because they didn’t like no rule for them, but lots of rules for us.

The average Brit is as least as smart as the average Australian.

It will be very interesting to see this how this clash plays out in Parliament, with many of the Tories constituents,
particularly those Tories elected in the former Labour heartlands of the North, 'up in arms' over the Covid rule
breaking over parties in Downing Street vs the fundamentalist Eurosceptic wing of the Tory party, called the ERG
who regard Boris Johnson as their Brexit Messiah.

Somethings got to give.

He is apparently planning massive sackings all around him, mainly in Civil Service, to deflect from himself. Don't think it is going to wash with the Public, nor anyone else.

Some really Hilarious tweets from #DowningStreetParty

In particular the said Civil Service. I wonder if they have a few (more) stories to tell.
