So you thought the ERG & Co were lying about the easy technological solution for the Irish border issue then.

I'm not saying deal is a good deal but that was what was promised and no deal was project fear. Quite happy for people to have another vote knowing the full implications of no deal and if they still go for it then I will accept that as least it was honest democracy.

Politicians being political. Who'd a thought!
Farage said just before the referendum that if it was - and he quoted 48/52 - then there would have to be a 2nd vote.

Did Marr even ask him outright if he had? I was only half paying attention but it sounded like he was asking if anything improper had gone on (which, amazingly, Johnson denied).

Sorry mate, didn't watch it. Not sure why Marr even has guests on his show, it's all about him

Can't really say that the Tories are the party of fiscal responsibility anymore, unless they have found many billions down the back of the sofa of no.10.
Maybe Johnson has wooed a wealthy lady and she's given him a few billion?

Does nobody understand that interest rates are lower than inflation in the UK?
And negative in the Eurozone?
And that because interest rates are so low, your pensions are under enormous strain?
And that because there are no longer any safe returns, the entire global economy has been oriented towards high risk speculation?
And that if (when) it implodes, it will make the 2008 crash look like an afternoon stroll by comparison?
This has happened precisely because governments have refused to spend the trillions of dollars/euros/pounds that the central banks created for them.
Government surpluses are NOT fiscally responsible, especially when the economy is performing as poorly as Britain's, and especially when the central banks have gutted interest rates and fired up the printing presses.
The Tories are doing (or rather, 'promising', which is very different) exactly what a fiscally responsible government should be doing in these conditions.
A Labour government would be even better still.
Britain and to an even greater extent Germany can literally borrow money at a profit!
Refusing to invest, when it is needed so, so badly, is not responsible government.
It is no wonder you're in such mess, when both your elites and your 'man at the pub' are so thoroughly economically illiterate.

More like the other way around if the newspapers are to be believed...
