'Absolutely fanciful': Boris Johnson's new deal not Rooseveltian, say critics

Boris Johnson will seek to wrap himself in the mantle of one of the most-revered American presidents in modern times on Tuesday, as he attempts to refocus his premiership by promising a “New Deal” for Britain in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.

Johnson comparing himself to the great Franklin D Roosevelt - More like Foghorn Leghorn. A £5 Billion infrastructure spend is a Fleabite in relation to the problem.

The Guardian wants an Eeyore PM - any chance of looking beyond the waves of character assassination & leaving the pathetic opinions mixed with fact aside to tease out objectively what is being attempted? We'll need to start looking at The Guardians Oxbridge elite at this rate.

Fanciful maybe, however the man seems to have some redemptive qualities vis a vis the Orange Emperor across the Atlantic, which the British media always seek to compare him to.

Boris you can’t be like President Roosevelt, when you have Trump in your heart.

Does this 1930's 'thinking' mean strict banking regulation and higher taxes for the better off too? Meantime, post Brexit, will we also have cardboard shack Johnsonvilles housing the mass unemployed & destitute?

It’s 2020...it’s not 1945...we are not at war...people need help not misplaced nostalgia.

It is so sad when you cannot trust your PM. Schools are still waiting for their limited supplies of equipment for online learning promised in March!! Absolutely Disgraceful so many children have been let down by this omnishambles Government .

5 billion is 14 and a half weeks of the 350 million per week we're meant to be saving from the EU. A year alone should be 18 billion. It's almost like he's lying. Damn...

God help us i we're relying on boris

When not actually lying (for the most part best to assume that they are) 10DowningStreet are truth-twisting to con the British people. This elite is pretending to be on the side of ordinary people but serve only themselves and their own. Corrupt to the core.

He is a liar

23.05: still not sacked

I'm white but police brutality & black slavery isn't and wasn't my fault! I will not kneel for being white! I don't owe anyone no matter their color anything! Stop discriminating me for being white! I'm proud of my white slavery ancestors for lifting themselves! ALM! ❤️🙏

It will be like allof his plans, nothing dressed up to look like something.

Quite frankly - I don’t believe a bloody word he says. How’s he getting on building all those new hospitals, I wonder?

Anybody else remember Billy Liar?

The lib-left, anti-British Guardianistas can't bear to see a UK Prime Minister talk our country up. They've spent so long obsessing over our departure from the EU that all their efforts remain focussed on bringing Britain down; running up the white flag. Capitulating to events.

Every time I see his picture I feel an overwhelming sense of national embarrassment and I’m not even English.
