They really want to get off with some statues don’t they?

What a tit. Everything he criticised was their fault, and everything he criticised Labour for was scrapings from the bottom of the culture war barrel.

I don't care what your reasons, anyone who voted for this vermin should hang their head in shame

I can see why he thinks doing good things is actually really bad like.

If you know your history, or not.

Not forgetting of course the little matter of the Norman Conquest and the 'Glorious Revolution'.

I don't suppose he's aware of these either, the useless waste of space.

If you have to tell people you haven't "lost your mojo", you've very clearly lost your mojo.

What a tit. Everything he criticised was their fault, and everything he criticised Labour for was scrapings from the bottom of the culture war barrel.

Wages have not risen under Tory governance in over a decade a period of stagnation unprecedented since the 19th century.

Steep spending cuts from 2010 have sucked demand from the economy and cut off the recovery.

If you have to tell people you haven't "lost your mojo", you've very clearly lost your mojo.

Did he ever have a mojo to loose? All I've ever seen or heard is a liar, who again is about hand the keys to the kingdom to chums in the banking sector.

Best of use of metaphor in his speech was the birdie song...

Exactly.

I can barely watch a programme like Newsnight these days; I dont know how anyone can insult their own intelligence by watching the evening and night time news bulletins.

Public opinion is really turning against him. I doubt that we'll see the back of him anytime soon though. Judging by how long it took Tories to get rid of Mrs May, I think Bojo will be here for the full-term.

You need to sloganise into 3 words, your average Tory supporter cannot engage otherwise!?

Why believe Boris or Why listen anymore?
