I’m sure he wished he could live your life David I bet he’s lying in bed at chequers and thinking “I want to be like IRA David where did it all go wrong”
Johnson a lifetime of failure
‘It’s been a disaster’: how Boris Johnson’s docklands business hub turned into a ghost town
The former mayor touted the £1.7bn London development as a vibrant beacon for Asian companies. Now there isn’t a single tenant – though the dystopian setting is attracting film crewswww.theguardian.com

It's the fact that not one of the offices is in use makes it spectacularA failed Boris Johnson vanity project?
You'd be better off with a Hillman HunterThere are definitely some left wing intellectual heavyweights proving the IQ theory - I’ll get back to researching my XK purchase consideration
Unelectable to you perhaps....Mission Accomplished? If the mission is taking an 80 seat majority and making the tory party unelectable then congrats Johnson you rock
Having this debate about the forde report. I am more and more convinced that the left wing of the Labour Party want opposition as it comes without responsibility and accountability
The point is it works both ways. Corbyn was prime agitator against his own government after all, but they had a large enough majority he had no effect.
Watch most of those who think Truss is a crazed loon get behind her, as they did Johnson, and you'll see a more effective election fighting machine. I'll grant you that Rees Mogg and co didn't exactly unite behind May, mind you
A prime agitator = daring to vote against the whip - oh heavens democracy. Come on NW you're better than this.
There's a study showing a link between the brain starting to degenerate and being more right wing. The idea being that the first part of the brain to suffer age related damage is the part of the brain that handles empathy, can't remember the actual scientific word they used but that was the general idea.Was there a US study that linked being right wing with being less intelligent?

Should point out that it very clearly stated further research was needed before the link could be proven.

When did the right of the labour party last win an election?Or, ya know, agitating
These Rebel MPs Are Planning a War with Labour Austerity
Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell and their socialist mates won't let a Labour government implement more austerity.www.vice.com
Answer me this: if everything the left has done has been perfect, why do they keep losing?
At some point you’ve got to make an honest appraisal of your situation or you’re doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

The headlines are radical – on tackling the deficit, an end to austerity, calls for a wealth tax, a minimum wage of £10 an hour and the nationalisation of public services.

Surely the most intelligent people are in the middle of the political spectrum. The hard shoulders of each side are a mess, and whilst I fully agree the Alex Jones type lunatics are idiots on one side, some of these so called 'intelligent' people on the left are an absolute joke as well. They don't live in any kind of reality. We seem to spend so much time talking and dealing with the problems of each extreme as well, that a lot of important stuff just gets glossed over.
The Conservatives are a complete mess at the moment and it is astonishing that Labour haven't done anything despite having open goal after open goal for the last few years. Hopefully that will change, as I for one think the Tories should be punished for being such unaccountable twats. That being said, Labour really need to get their house in order and stop being such floppy cocks in order to do it, and they haven't seemed that capable so far.

The intelligent centre you talk about have been in charge of the Labour party for the last two years lol
I don't agree I'm afraid. If Labour behaved as if they were a centrist party then they would be in power now.

It depends on what type of intelligence.Surely the most intelligent people are in the middle of the political spectrum.

Is laughing at the unions not centrist enough?

If we're talking about pragmatic realism, then yes, centre ground would be.
Those more to the left maybe don't have that realism as much, and their ideas are more radical, but that doesn't necessarily make them bad or unintelligent. Look at some of the things that in the past were considered totally crazy suggestions yet nowadays are accepted truth. Woman/blacks/poor being as intelligent and capable as men/whites/rich, homosexuality and same sex marriage, not running society for the benefit of a group of elites, climate change. All of these would have been considered totally radical nonsense at one point, but have steadily moved into being the norm.
I consider myself a bit in the last group, as I have quite radical ideas. But I also know that there would every attempt made to scupper them by those with a vested self interest and a lot more power and influence than me. Some would need 'ducks lined up' and two or three different things occurring simultaneously to be effective when it's nigh on impossible getting just one through. Add in the natural suspicion and fear of anything different and people playing on those fears and I know I can't win, even if I'm confident what I'm suggesting would be an improvement on how things are.
You can 'LOL' all you want, but that kind of attitude is exactly why Labour haven't won despite numerous open goals over the last few years. I honestly think come voting time most people are picking between what they perceive as the lesser of two evils. The Tory credit in the bank is definitely slipping in that sense, but to be on the sidelines and watch them implode, without being able to take advantage of it is embarrassing.
Labour could win pretty easily if they got rid of the kind of attitude you are showing here, and I say that as someone who is a complete swing voter.
Why have you suddenly turned into a Strawbs tribute act?

Brilliant for the Labour party who now can't really lose the next electionLiz Truss will be PM then. Much more liked by the grassroots Tory party, than Sunak.
