Blow for BoJo as Bro Jo Go Goes !
Headline from the Evening Standard.
At least 2 members of the Johnson family have some morals (sister Rachel being the other who is a remainer).

Blow for BoJo as Bro Jo Go Goes ! Headline from the Evening Standard. At least 2 members of the Johnson family have some morals (sister Rachel being the other who is a remainer). One should generally caveat any claims to Jo Johnson’s morals or principles by stating….for a Tory He supported the so called bedroom tax, generally voting for reducing housing benefit for social tenants deemed to have excess bedrooms. He consistently voted against raising welfare benefits to even so much as keep up with inflation. He also voted against paying higher benefits over longer periods for those unable to work due to illness or disability and for reductions in spending on welfare benefits. He couldn’t really see the point in spending public money to create guaranteed jobs for young people who have spent a long time unemployed. He could however be relied upon to vote for increases the rate of VAT and against increasing the tax rate applied to income over £150,000. He was a good Tory when it came to voting for more restrictive regulation of trade union activity, cutting Capital Gains Tax and Corporation Tax on businesses and thought that the NHS, short of cash at the best of times should not discriminate against those wealthy enough to afford private health so voted against regulation preventing their access. And for those appalled at the Lib Dems supporting higher undergraduate tuition fees he voted for raising England’s undergraduate tuition fee cap to £9,000 per year whilst voting to end financial support for some 16-19 year olds in training and further education. Typically, as a really good Tory he always voted for reducing central government funding of local government, consistently voted for mass surveillance of people’s communications and activities and could be relied upon to vote against measures to prevent climate change. Just for good measure he thought restricting access to legal aid was a right on thing to support and just in case anyone thought he was going a bit soft he voted against restrictions on fees charged to tenants by letting agents. Perhaps what we should say is, that in comparison to his odious brother, a man whose collision with reality over the last two days has left him looking as though he has completely lost the f***ing plot, he looks like a decent bloke.

What the f*** has happened to this country, have I slipped into an alternate timeline at some point in the past? Surely there must be a real 2019 kicking around somewhere, where David Cameron never got into power and this Br**it bullsh*t never existed?

Revoke Article 50 or exit with no deal the options Far too risky.
