“The man” isn’t happy with Boris Nigel Farage blasts Boris Johnson's election pledge to take no-deal off the table | Daily Mail Online
On a best out of 3 no he didn’t. He also resigned over it weighting it’s chances of passing very much into not passing. He also colluded with the ERG who made sure enough didn’t vote for it everytime so it wouldn’t pass.Once more yet again. Boris voted for the May agreement.
And that is my point. Charisma. Doesn't make him the person to lead our country. But I laugh when anyone makes out that Corbyn has it. It can't be taught. You either have it or you don't. Might not make for good watching. The results of the election could depend on it.
How many have faith in Corbyn putting on a good show? Because that is what it is.

So you are niw saying that the EU want a so called hard Brexit? Because it is what they agreed on.
And by the way it is an agreement not a deal. It is an agreement on what will happen so a deal can be made.
Pedantic points? Just picking up on where you are not right as usual.What has Boris’ voting record got to do with anything?
I’m saying the EU want Britain to leave however it wants but not destroy NI. They’re saying that too. They’d probably rather have a closer relationship, but it’s not just up to them is it?
You’re just flailing around looking for pedantic points now. I think it’s clear you’ve conceded on the substance of the argument about whether Parliament has “stopped Brexit”.
I don't. But to refuse it would have looked even worse. Corbyn was at his best in 2017 when talking directly to the public-Boris is clearly shite at that. But with other politicians or journalists he's in his element.
On the whole I agree but when repeatedly pressed on an issue by a journalist he does become the bumbling buffoon and slips up. Unfortunately there are some that lap up those kind of performances as they like to see 'the clown' performing.
I think on a debate stage a wisecrack will be enough to steer him out of trouble. If they did more of a 'town hall' type event with a mixed audience he'd fare worse
Corbyn tends to take a moment to deliver a response... although I get the thought of shooting off the hip instantly can appeal more.
we will see how it goes.

Non political shows are different to a general election TV debate.Corbyn is a lot better in the campaigning environment he has a much more human presence when on non political shows. He’s good at people rallies as that’s what he’s done all his life
Swinson will come across as the worst of the 3 by some margin

That must be why Boris is such a good liar. That and being able to rely on peoples gullibility.He’s good at people rallies as that’s what he’s done all his life
Cough, cough Addenbrooke Hospital, cough cough.his problem is his opponent is similarly skilled at this
Yeah, and that's just by his own family members and girlfriends.When you google it Boris actually has a long and illustrious career of being booed.
Given the state of our council that's probably a plus point!Labour's candidates for Coventry South + North West both announced and both have evidently been parachuted in from elsewhere. For the NW nominations the local councillors who had put themselves forward weren't even on the ballot it seems.
I find the parachuting of candidates abhorrent. That said, can't say I'd have that much faith in any of the current Labour councillors. I saw that Jayne Innis mentioned. Good grief.Labour's candidates for Coventry South + North West both announced and both have evidently been parachuted in from elsewhere.

She's been a councillor for less than two months having been dropped into our ward having failed to win in two other locations. In that time she's managed to mess up submitting a petition by missing the deadline and campaigned for ANPR checks in a location that doesn't meet the basic requirements for ANPR, and of course having just been elected decided to go on holiday!Fear not, this isn't about the Ricoh. Just had a prospective local councillor at the door and was astonished at how unprepared they were for a simple question about probably the most talked about issue locally.
I'm over in Finham and there are plans for new houses, which are desperately needed. As always the nimbys are out in full force so I would expect a prospective councillor to have an answer ready to go. All I asked was if not in the proposed located what was their alternative proposal to meet housing demand in the area.
After a look of total panic the response was that's not down to them, that's down to the council. An odd response when you're asking someone to vote for you to be a local councillor!
Anyone else had dealings with their actual or prospective local councillors, good or bad? Are they all as useless as mine?
Candidates should be local as much as possible. Having knowledge and context of your electorate is a powerful tool.I find the parachuting of candidates abhorrent. That said, can't say I'd have that much faith in any of the current Labour councillors. I saw that Jayne Innis mentioned. Good grief.
Yeah, but in both the leaders of the US of A and the UK, we also have powerful tools at the helm.Candidates should be local as much as possible. Having knowledge and context of your electorate is a powerful tool.
Think the Conservatives have already given up on Coventry South. Their candidate is the councillor I was referring to in this post on the local elections thread.

The standard of candidates really is appalling.
She’ll be on the Tory front bench before you know. Although with that resumé she’s clearly over qualified.In that time she's managed to mess up submitting a petition by missing the deadline and campaigned for ANPR checks in a location that doesn't meet the basic requirements for ANPR, and of course having just been elected decided to go on holiday!
Also rumours afoot that Boris is going to have to move seats because his isn’t safe by any stretch of the imagination.
I see a couple of papers are headlining polls today with the Tories lead being halved in some polls.
The only polls I see recently show the Tories going over 40% because they have pulled support from Farage. Labour is staying where it is in the mid 20s.
Should never have agreed to the GE.
Once the Lib Dems broke ranks we had to unfortunately.
Never trust a Lib Dem.
It will close - as soon as people realise Swinson and her Ilk have nothing to offer. She trying to play the Hilary Clinton card... and that worked well.The only polls I see recently show the Tories going over 40% because they have pulled support from Farage.
