Boris Johnson is well-placed to become one of the most powerful prime ministers in modern times

One-nation conservatism is a joke. it assumes that the wealthy are entitled to their power, merely suggesting that they should still rule their 'nations' benevolently. its pseudo-philosophy thought up by rich people who felt entitled, but feared what they saw happen to the Zcars.

Of an isolated island... well done!

The eye of the wind makes one salute Boris' journey to 10 Downing Street with the same air of excitement the Journey Agamemnon, Ulysses, Achilles and their men - in the Iron age - generated in their triumphantly return to the Hellenic world!

Well placed to become Trump's puppy.

Also? The position of 'leader of the free world is open.'

You can polish fascism but it's still fascism

He is nothing, without the Queen; or future King; just a mouthpiece for a marginalized monarchy and corrupt parliament; when the commoners finally rise, there will appear the likes of Edwardi Principis cog negri; if he be that person, ala 1376; the parliament will become “?”

Vote Labour! As if people mattered.

Oh puh-lease

Little English Donald Trumps win represents a sad commentary for England's future. The world would be well advised to stop putting more like them in power and watch carefully over their attempts to disrupt their respective countries

Has the London Assembly drop there inquiry into his friendship with his American female friend, or is it another cover up

He’ll also oversee the destruction of the UK when Scotland votes to leave it & the Troubles rear their ugly head.

Lord of Soviet Union

Shit. That's scary.

counterpoint: crashing out of the EU with no deal will put him in the history books next to Chamberlain

* blows own head off *

Except he is causing Scotland and NI to leave in the next 20 years.

The problem is not educated Londoners or uneducated Northerners. It’s Boris Johnson, who sets one group against another group so they won’t notice where the real problem is.

You must be joking there's a lot to catch up on

Translation: Boris Johnson continues long tradition of elites claiming false solidarity with working poor against educated middle class and vilified minorities.

But it is not the same nation. It is a dismal low wage economically ravaged majority lorded over by a cruel plutocracy. Just like the land of his birth which he so admires.

Londoners aren't that popular up there you know. Well of course you did. Ou know everything. Sic.

Is that poorer Londoners are being relocated to the North.....or is it so rich don’t have mix.

We would rather stay ignored by Londoners...Thankyou..!!!

Nope Johnson is taking the country to war and needs soldiers recruited from the unemployed Northerners.

Right, because everyone in London is posh, and everyone in the north is working class. That's how that works.

Once told reporter how he turns wooden boxes into painted buses, Buses, with people painted in or something. Not sure they have wheels. Probably roll on 'pretending', as he seems to wear skates for. Understand he's known for that. Articulate, I thought it was politely called.

Nothing like Eton legacy egalitarianism.

Forcing Londoners to buy whippets?

maidment_thomas In 19th century UK political system before Labour Party emerged, the working class was split between those who supported an Imperialist One Nation Conservative Party, and those who supported a Laissez-faire Capitalist Liberal Party. Religious denomination also influenced choice.

Is this the Govt in a parallel universe?

We knew you would find a way to support him in the end. That is what you do. No fact undistorted.

If only someone had thought of combining nationalism with socialism before, we might have some clues as to where this might lead.

lolz....welcome to the 'matrix' where it all ends in the same way dosent matter what you voted for.its in service for the 1% and the only sacred cow in the universe of monopolies is 'profits'

How much of his left-winged economics is influenced by his need to crush Corbynism once and for all?

Fantastic...

What is his policy on climate change?

alllibertynews

should be the other way around

Completely correct. Johnson and the puppet master Cummings are about as removed from a New Nation Tory party as Corbyn is from New Labour. We live in dangerous and divisive times.

Brexiteers live in the 19th century and forget that England no longer rules the world.

😂😂😂🤡🤡

Johnson is a serial liar and self - serving opportunist.

Based on what exactly?

It would take a powerful Prime Minister to drive Britain off the cliff.

He will go to war as Trump's pawn and that will break his neck politically.

Gd.... Or there won't be a UK.. For him to be a pm...

Let's see how he uses his power. Maybe the UK won't divide under him.

Going to temple worked well for him. It is a clear case of unlearning depending upon the change in world politics. Boris Johnson unlearn as others also should follow him.

Opinion | Boris and Britain After BrexitFrom WSJopinion: What’s next after Britain’s break from Europe? Historian Andrew Roberts is bearish on free-market policies but bullish on an alliance of English-speaking lands opinion I wonder if Britain's exit from the EU will influence other EU countries to leave as well? If a major one goes say France that could mean lights out for the EU period . opinion just shut up opinion Like a lot of commentary on a UK/US trade deal it ignores UK/EU trade realities. If EU/US can’t get it together it won’t work for UK/US either. It comes down to agreed standards and they can’t conflict.
