Similarities to Corbyn are uncanny. Both arguing they were elected by the people not the politicians in their respective parties.

spaffer can claim  people' as he won an election.

Only because he didn’t want to be sacked 

He’s an enabler, he shouldn’t have accepted the job in the first place. They are all complicit in this madness.

Did you read labours deficit reduction plan put forward by Alister Darling? they were virtually identical.

Plan put forward but never actually agreed upon and put in place. On economics Osbourne was to the right of Thatcher...if labour had done the same then would have also been to the right pf Thatcher. Johnson is far more keynsian, on economics he is to the centre (well, he likes to spend, not sure he's bothered where the money comes from).

Well thats the issue that everyone sees the centre in a different place. The argument also isn't always economic, it can be social or in this case the EU. People also willingly forget Corbyn campaigned against the EU for longer than Farage had been in politics.

I’d guess they have a press office that’s still functioning… about the only thing that is !!! 
 

it’s got to be Raab or May for interim … can’t see past that 

[pink_triangle]

I hope he gives a completely ungracious speech and blames everyone, but himself.
