My grandfather used to be a member of the Tories and Labour. Apparently drink was very cheap at their boozers.
National News Boris or Jeremy?

Wasn`t compulsory to vote, although 87% isn`t to be sniffed at.
I don`t think those who voted for Hunt will be asking for a re-run. ?

Read it carefully.............. Blair lied about "serving a full term". Subtle difference..............

rumours , unconfirmed as yet, abounding on social media, that since Johnson announced as PM , 3 government ministers have tendered their resignations
And? Always happens and some obviously know the game is up. Life goes on.....

Politicians, the vast majority of em ... the way to tell if theyre lying is generally when their mouths are moving and words coming out

Yes, we are an important part of European trade. But really, who do you think will feel the effects more if we leave without a deal? The people of this country (note: NOT the politicians, bankers etc!) or the people of the other countries of the EU? And if you think that Boris' approach - long on the bluster, short on any actual detail or proposals - will somehow have the EU scrambling back to the table you are going to be sadly disappointed.
It is a decent turnout but I don't get the logic of not voting if you've actively made the effort to be a member of a political party. Unless of course those members have died off since renewing their membership given the average age of a Tory member.

their replacements are, IMO, likely to be drawn from Johnson's old fags from his Eaton days

Give Boris a chance @Sarge he’s only been prime minister for less than an hour, first of all he has to sort us disabled out first then the tax cuts, then the pay raise sea for our armed forces, them the pay rises for our NHS workers, then raise the minimum wage allowance, then raise or decrease corporate tax then threaten Iran over their illegal act in the Straights of Hormuz, so ask me again in just over an hour.

I found it tough to pick, so maybe those who didn't vote didn't know who to vote for?It is a decent turnout but I don't get the logic of not voting if you've actively made the effort to be a member of a political party. Unless of course those members have died off since renewing their membership given the average age of a Tory member.
Nation f*cked
The United Kingdom is truly fucked after a horny bumbling man-child who swallowed a thesaurus somehow found himself in possession of the keys to number 10 Downing street.

Their take on it.
How many magic money trees has Johnson got access to for that?

dont hold your breath for any of the above @bazzer9461 .... apart from perhaps launching military action against Iran, politicians like a good conflict to deflect attention for the serious mess (that theyve got) the country into

⚠Trigger warning ⚠
Judging by the wailing on social media, it's a popular appointment in the echo chamber ? ? ? . With a bigger percent of turn out than the Lib Dems yesterday, the mandate is there from the Tory party and Johnson to get on with Brexit as he outlined- no 52/48 nonsense thankfully.
No excuses for Brexiteers in the Tory party now. They got what they wanted and need to deliver.
Buckle up kids, it's going to be a fun 100 days! So far, the sky hasn't fallen in or plagues of locusts haven'y flown in, so not all bad.
As an aside, there was a big contrast in seeing BoJo the Clown talk vs the Maybot. It's been a long time since having a political leader who has ebullience, and isn't a charisma vacuum. If the Titanic is going down, let's have a nice party while it's happening ?

Its hot enough today without any need to get hot(ter) under the collar about the election/appointment/ imposition of a new PM... 100 days (as @Gary Baldi mentioned above) to see if Johnson will (this time) stick to his word, or not
Enjoy the sunshine while its here I say
