Yep, it's not like hostile powers have used women as kompromat in the recent past.

How's that Russian interference report coming along?

Did you actually vote this time? After all the energy you've expended on here getting your views aired, I do hope so.

I didn't. 38,000 Labour majority in my constituency!

The one Boris sat on when there was tome to publish.

Still, the ISC needs to be reformed then it has to be published. Then we get to see what is in it. I suspect that if there was nothing in it, then to would have been published but you could take it further and Cummings played it this way t make people think there was something in it.

Find out when it gets published.

I just had a thought. One of the things proposed by Boris & co was an increase in NI primary threshold from £8632 to £9500. An interesting side effect is that many small company owners will increase their salary in line with that. So conservative success will have led to a salary increase of about 10%

So increasing the average wage and pushing more church mice into technical poverty! Monsters!

Shares, and pound soaring on the result.

I bottled it and bought a Krugerrand as a hedge against Corbyn. Now worth £107 less than I paid for it.

I've never been happier to lose money .

If everyone knows you have affairs, then having another won't come as a surprise and is unlikely to be much of a bargaining chip

I don't care if politicians have affairs, nor take drugs, as long as they do a good job.

We had a Regional Manager who was a functioning alcoholic - the Board wanted to get rid of him but his Region was consistently in the top percentage, my only thought was to wonder how good he would be if he wasn't drunk 50% of the time.

This. There are a few commentators who do appear to believe you have to be a faultless human being - in all aspects of your life - before you can do a specific job competently.

10% of their own money you mean?

[DickyC]

I know understand why he withdrew the whip from the dissenters. It was another part of the gamble. He was playing a short version of the long game.

Having random affairs as a PM just might, might, be a slight security risk.
Tad different from a powerfully built regional IT director.

Yes, well done for your show of understanding.

"Lies, damn lies and statistics"

It is a 10% increase in "salary", but it will not be a 10% increase in their income unless they take no dividend. How many would do that?

Any increase is welcome, but it's very unlikely to be 10%.

Just seen the end of Boris's speech this morning.

Does he read PH and read the wise words of the resident penguin...

To all you Johnson haters... Ha ha fking Ha.

He's still a self serving untrustworthy toad - being the least worse option doesn't change that.

Suck it up.

Your'e utterly deluded if you think he won this election because people liked him.

Come again?

It isn’t difficult

It’s a safe bet that a good number of people voted for the story party not because they are favs of Boris Johnson but because he represented a less unpleasant option than the alternative.

This has been somewhat widely discussed usually in the context of holding one’s nose at the point of voting.

Many voters chose Johnson mainly for his stance on Brexit, I don't think that's deniable but I also
think that for whatever reason non Tory voters gave him their vote, he is/has become increasingly
popular day by day. How long that may continue is very much in his hands.

[Zirconia]

That seems to be coming through from the interviews on the Wales news, traditional labour voters hate Corbyn.

Local MP should have challenged the leader before not after but Boris now has run out of excuses.

[Gargamel]

I predict Boris will be a good Prime Minister. With the House behind him and Brexit in the rear view mirror, I think the country will progress.

I do think he is much more inclusive than people think, sure he is prone to a gaffe and he likes to talk ideas before detail, and I know PHers as a moderately techincal group don’t like that sales part of Boris.

But I do like creative ideas, you just have to accept he talks before he thinks, but it is never malicious.

Last night, I heard something that absolutely astounded me.

Since 2001 when he was first elected into Parliament, Boris has not lost an election, nor has he been behind in an opinion poll.

I've not checked, but, if true, is staggering.
