Probably off to make a fortune on the U.S. speaking circuit.

If it wasn't for Nigel Farage, Theresa May would still be PM and we'd have been voting in a 2nd BREXIT referendum on Thursday rather than a GE.  ;)

With a majority of 80 Boris will no longer be held to ransom by the Victorian undertaker and the rest of the ERG. They are history.

Brexit will now be a soft compliant Euro-friendly Brino. That is one thing Farage has right. :)

If it wasn't for Farage we wouldn't have had a referendum in the first place. You might think that a good thing or a bad thing, but its the truth.
Whether or not he has, or wants, any kind of future in politics remains to be seen, but he will always be a hero to me for bring democracy and sovereignty back to this country.

I suspect after his Grenfell gaff and getting kicked into the Zummerzet weeds for the election campaign, JRM will be returned to the backbenches for the foreseeable future.  ::)

And far from being a far right dictator that the leftie types will depict him, I think Boris will be a centerist PM as he will be keen to keep all those new voters onside.  ;)

He has always been a centrist, despite what the msm have recently tried to portray him as. To them, anyone who supports Brexit is a Nazi.

Yes and the Guardian are so far left that I'm surprised that they havn't branded Jo Swinson as a right wing nutter!  ;D

As to BREXIT, in my view Boris has 2 choices to achieve his aim of getting a deal by the end of next year.  Firstly he could do a Theresa May and simply agree to all of the EU's demands or secondly he plays hardball and walks away with a bare bones agreement that just gives zero tariffs, zero quotas and mutual recognition of standards.

Time will tell what we will end up with, but my preference would be the bare bones arrangement that leaves us with the loosest possible relationship with the EU and gives us the greatest flexibility to deal with other countries and trading blocks.  :y

I’m pleased boris got in. But like Albs says he’s not a messiah. He better deliver this f.....g brexit or I will personally go down there and... well in reality if brexit doesn’t get done I’d protest by never voting again.

I thank corbynski for being an immovable object as leader. I wonder if labour had got a fresh face a year ago whether the stupid public would have voted differently. Though obviously this was brexit v remain and at least for now faith is restored in the British public.

It was also lovely to see Jo Swinson get handed an arse tanning. Just gutted it wasn’t me doing the tanning. Having said that she’s been wearing the same green dress for the whole campaign so one wonders if it’s like a tuna taco 🌮 downstairs 😩😩😩😩🤮🤮🤮🤮
.   

God knows what Diane Abbots downstairs must be like !
Just saying 😄😆😃

       Holy shit man don’t even put that thought out loud it’s not fair🤮🤮🤢... have a heart matey👀👀

Indeed. We have one person to blame for the last three and a half wasted years. Gove, the treacherous little shit. I hope Boris takes revenge on him now that he has a solid majority.
I just got up after my night shift and shout downstairs to swmbo "get breakfast done". It didn't work.

I think we’re lucky.... Farage and Boris have saved us. (For the moment at least).

I think it could have been quite different.  Labour had the right manifesto (if you are a socialist), but the wrong leader.  Many, many people voted Tory, myself included and against my better judgement, purely to stop Corbyn.

Though obviously this was brexit v remain and at least for now faith is restored in the British public.
The media spout that, but I don't think it really was.  Even I don't think the British public are that stupid. If it was, surely the Brexit party under that other unelectable 'tard Farage might have sneaked some seats.

I think most remainers respect democracy, so would potentially vote to leave if their had been a People's Vote or whatever.  The fear from the Brexiteers side would be those disgruntled leave voters who have now discovered the promises, such as the £350m a week to the NHS and the EU would roll over and give us anything, were always outright lies.

The choice will be hard leave, or almost all in.  Have you not paid attention since the referendum?

I think the whole world sees BoJo's deal as worse than TM's.

And to lose your biggest trading partner when you are a tiny, insignificant island leaves you with minimal options in a multinational world.  China is fast becoming a place not to snuggle up with, which starts to leave us vulnerable to being the 51st state.

Would becoming the 51st state be worse than being the 28th state ?
I feel we have more in common with the U.S. than most of Europe.

I've been paying enough attention to see that the dynamics have now changed drastically and that there will be a deal of some sort.  So all your talk of losing our biggest trading partner is 'dangle berries' frankly, and it all comes down to who Boris plays hardball with, the EU for a bare bones FTA or the Brexiteers/ERG in the Tory party for a BRINO status.  ::)

We don't have to be either.  We can be friends, cooperate and have free trade arrangements with the USA and the EU without having to integrate with either.  ;)

Time will tell of course.  ::)
