Just had a thought. When the tories are kicked out for a couple of generations on July 4th, does that mean Great Britain gets to celebrate the 4th of July every year as well as USA? Can we have a National Holiday as well? At least until they win another GE, which is waay into the future! Seems reasonable to me!

See Boris is still lying for England...

In the daily wail says the Starmers policies are more left wing than the labour of the 70s

Has he forgotten Corbyns attempts in 2019?

Truth is we are still waiting for manifestos from all parties

If you don't know his policies, how do you know Boris is lieing?

We seem to have to guess at what labour have planned.

Boris's lips are moving

Therefore he's lying.

Well... He has got rid of corbyn and most of the other corbynites are not in positions of power.

Public utterances do not indicate it eithet

I think the timing of the GE to be a little bizarre, tbh, UK has had a tough few years, but is genuinely turning the corner now, fuel prices down, growth up, inflation down, food prices actually dropping here and there, its making a big difference to millions of people, and will continue to do so....
It's OK Labour will turn all that around!

Johnson was in the UK Parliament with Ukranian neo-nazis this week and was photographed holding a neo-nazi banner and called them heroes.

I'm not making this up.

He's a liability with st judgement.

Ukrainian neo-Nazis? Got any proof of that?

Read up on the Azov Brigade.

Before anyone (not you) tries to make out I'm some sort of Putin apologist you can be 100% in support of thinking Ukraine can and should fight the Russian invasion whilst also thinking we shouldn't be hosting people like this in Parliament and calling them "heroes" and holding up flags like that.

AIUI, tories have 40 constituencies they've yet to find faces to fill (Including my constituency).

Which of the facts of the story do you think have been distorted by their political leanings?

Ignore who's reporting it and try focusing on the substance.

Johnson stood in Parliament holding up a flag with the Wolfsangel symbol on it.

That's this symbol.

Azov Battalion drops neo-Nazi symbol exploited by Russian propagandists

I daren't post the symbol here because if I did I may get banned for posting neo-nazi propaganda.

Do you think it's good judgement?

It's not often I'll go to bat for Bojo, but I think this is not as clear cut as this. This unit has had its issues in the past, but have gone through a lot of change. They are the center of Russian propaganda. They are also the unit that did a frankly incredible job in the Siege of Mariupol and their final stand at the Azovstal is stuff of legend. I'd hold that banner too!

I agree they did an incredible job and I can be 100% behind Ukraine in wanting them to defeat Russia whilst also thinking it's spectacularly poor judgement for Johnson to be holding up a flag with that sort of imagery on it.

Stupidity rather than malice but he's still stood in Parliament holding up a bloody big flag with a neo-nazi symbol on it.
