Will he now return the £200k compensation he received and donate it to, say, a Jewish charity?

...and there's more, allegedly. Farage made a serious allegation on GB News tonight (wonder if he ran it past the lawyers beforehand).

The major problem Bonking Boris/the Conservative party is going to have come any elections is whether anyone can trust ANYTHING he/they says. While the new 'promises' sound good for the short term in the Midlands/North, will they actually be 'cancelled' at some point, and while they will bring 'improvements' earlier that HS2/3, how far behind with infrastructure will the regions be in later years?

A few more voters to lose...https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/202 ... ly-reeling

What happened to all the government fervoured support for HS2 over the years against all the 'ill-founded' criticism?

I think you need a longer list than that?

I have a confession to make. I once wore a jalabiya and fez. Now should I have stuck to my principles and declined or given offence to the Egyptians on the cruise.

Irish Sea Bridge

Thank heavens BoJo has discovered the truth - from The Telegraph
"The Prime Minister tasked Sir Peter Hendy, the Network Rail chairman, with launching a feasibility study into the idea as part of a wider investigation into upgrading connectivity across the Union.

The review, expected to be published this coming week, has ruled out the proposal for a fixed-link connecting Northern Ireland to the rest of the UK for the foreseeable future."


I wonder what other truths he will uncover? Is there light at the end of the tunnel......?

FFS.
That bridge, plus a bit of tunnel no doubt, would be around 38Km long, and it would need to be built mighty tough.

A five year old could probably deduce that it might be a bit too expensive, compared to a few new ferries, for example.

I'm a 'small c' conservative, but I'm beginning to wonder how much of Boris's "Buffoon" persona is actually a shield? I think there might be a chunk of quite genuine buffoon in this buffoon.

Shame on you for not recognising the clown some members here elected to be our Prime Minister. (Don't mention om15...)
