That's rather callous. Perhaps factory owners should hire you as their spokesman.

Re: PM Boris

Unpleasant in the sense of perhaps losing one's job. I live in the UK but work in the EU which is only possible because of the rights of freedom of movement that come with membership of the EU. Come...

Re: PM Boris

Agreed. It genuinely is frightening to see so many people being persuaded that Johnson is a more trustworthy leader than Corbyn. Even people like John Major, Ken Clarke and Michael Heseltine don't...

Imagine you have a surgeon who can perform 10 operations a week. His NHS contract allows him to work 1 day a week privately, so he sees 2 private patients and 8 NHS patients a week.

Re: PM Boris

Since 2016 a lot has changed, especially demographically. Pretending that 52% of the current population still want Brexit is also burying your head in the sand.

Re: PM Boris

Since Johnson became PM he's lost 6 out of 6 votes in the House of Commons, and had a Supreme Court ruling against him by 11-0.
