The blokes who go around with a Sandwich board saying the end of the world is nigh. One day, hopefully thousands of years from now, they will be right. In the meantime most people are looking at the here and now and the politicians and the economists can't even get that right.

Oh he was "electioneering" for sure. He had to in response to the claims being made by "leave". Which is why I so strongly object to putting such a critical issue to the winds of chance of a referendum and the resultant expectations that have been so obvious in the last 3 years. This issue should have been a pledge in a manifesto after agreement within a political party. Then if they become the government they can start the process in the hope they can get it through Parliament. In that way everyone would know where they stand.

Populism is designed to appeal to those who see things in simple black and white terms. Or in other words "narrow minded".

Whilst currently most populist regimes are from the right they can just as easily come from the left.

What an arrogant and stupid statement that exposes your true attitude.

You have the narrow mind, old boy.

I can think of many current politicians who are much worse. In the minds of "leave" voters Osborne's primary "sin" it seems was making predictions about the consequences of a leave vote succeeding. Consequences which haven't materialise. Yet.

He was being political but there was more truth underlying what he suggested than in many other statements made at that time.

White noise

You have hit the nail on the head. He is a repetitive single minded know it all and you will never get a sensible answer from him. I think he needs to go for a long walk and stop digging himself into a deeper hole on these boards.

That’s an interesting take, given nobody knows what Johnson’s deal consists of.

Brexit, in a nutshell - the detail is irrelevant.

But will he have to ask for an extension now?
He got a deal.

Maybe not but an election campaign of “Oh, go on. Let us have a go” isn’t going to win much.
Jess Phillips on TV last week said manifestos are a wish list and shouldn’t be taken very seriously.

I suspect it might be just a tad more precise than that.

You never like the truth do you?

Populism, as defined in the Cambridge dictionary:-

"political ideas and activities that are intended to get the support of ordinary people by giving them what they want".

Note, what they want and not what they need! Appealing to the wishes of the majority gets you elected but it won't deliver good solutions.

My dog and all the pots and kettles in my kitchen are laughing their socks off at the hypocrisy in that comment!

If any poster here is capable of digging themselves into a hole and refusing all offers of a ladder to get themselves out it is you.

So I seriously suggest you put down your shovel and go back to watching day time TV.

There are many bridges yet to navigate before that can possibly be true.

If the deal gets voted down in Parliament, primarily because the DUP and ERG don't support it, then what happens next depends on whether the EU agree to an extension.

If they do then what the new Parliament decides to do after a GE will decide. All options remain possible.

If they don't then we will leave without a deal, face a GE and all sorts of further chaos.

I don't like your truth.

Your assumption that 'populist' is wrong by definition is plain daft.
It has no bearing on the validity of any argument.

Populism is a word adopted by the Left to belittle opposing opinion and nothing more. It has replaced the ever increasingly incredible terms related to racism and the Right wing.

I know it’s hard to muddle through your spelling mistakes but what has ‘Borris’ done so far that May didn’t?

Truth hurts doesn't it and you have to come back with the same old cr@p every single time. I suggest you put YOUR shovel down and look in a mirror and see what an idiot you are!
