There were issues with Tower Hamlets but the electoral commission and the police stamped down hard on that and it must have been 10 years ago now.

Yep. A quick scan I did at the time of the Uk social media accounts who were shouting about electoral fraud in the UK, also tended to have pro Trump stuff in their bios, as well as allusions to QAnon type topics.
Yeah that rings a bell. Was it Mayoral elections? Seem to recall people went to prison over that.

Johnson's killer instinct was basically agreeing to things like the Northern Ireland Protocol which was and still is an absolute disaster. He got brexit done by agreeing a laughable deal that they've been trying to change ever since.
I'm not a fan of her at all but at least May was intelligent enough to know that it would be a disaster.
It is what comes after that is the dangerous thing, the hardcore Trump devotees that have been left in his wake who still wont actually say Biden is president are essentially saying democracy but only on my terms. Then after that you have republicans having to suck up to these morons for thier career to move anywhere and you start to breed a very very dangerous belief system that wants to pretty much roll back any social progress in the last century. The johnson sycophants are just as stupid and just as dangerous, we may find the accents over the pond funnier but lets not kid ourselves that we as a nation are any less susceptible to a really vile cult of personality becoming a political stronghold.
Brexit alone is evidence that this is possible

She lobbed a small but workable majority away and ended up needing a handful of DUP bigots to get anything done. And nothing got done cos a small number of Brexit loons stopped anything happening.
It seems an age ago, but the #1 issue was Brexit deals. Not Covid, parties, Ukraine, PPF.
80+ majority?
But the fact that there Was a vote means it won't be too long until another, or another reason to move him out is found.
I told @peteblue, he would never last - he has a history of being a buffoon - I never vote Tory never have - The B word has been mentioned - Labour state they will never return to the EU .......not even a single market Keir Starmer on LBC yesterday -
IMO who ever is in - they always make a mess of things - not voting any more .....

He hasn't got any, just blind loyalty to Johnson, who he laughably thinks is Churchillian! And the Tory party, he will never change.
It's hard to imagine Johnson being able to make a pasta bake, why anyone thinks he's capable of running a country is beyond me.

The main "perpetrator" was recently re-elected as mayor of Tower Hamlets.
There was no criminal investigation, but it all seems rather murky.
It's a pity you didn't start that stance in 2016 Joe. We might not have ended up in this mess.

Brexit is still a major issue. In fact, I doubt there will be a time in the next 100 or so years where it wont be.
