'Boris Johnson always wanted to be like Churchill - he may also cause blackouts'Anything from a farm will be in short supply, because of energy prices but also because there’s a labour shortage. This has turned out well as one argument for Brexit was so we could have more space in our country He wants grow some bollocks and make decisions, be them right or wrong in the end. Leaders make decisions and when wrong admit it, fix it move on. I guess that’s to much to ask of our politicians though😏 What is missing for the country to understand that Brexit was a mistake? Will they continue to believe the lies? While the government invests in aircraft carriers. Well he’s blown that !
