The Guardian view on Boris Johnson in Brussels: drop the Brexit rhetoric | Editorial

4 comments
  1. I feel like if Brexit was going well then this government wouldn’t feel the need to talk about it 24/7.

  2. But the rhetoric is all there is. How can he drop it, when there are no tangible benefits, let alone sunlit uplands, unicorns or rainbows, to point to?

    And that’s even without considering Mr. Johnson’s personal record. He’s not even a competent manager, let alone the visionary statesman guiding “global Britain” into the future he pretends to be. Empty rhetoric and bluster is all he has. Who cares if he is essentially putting the UK’s relationship with its allies and neighbours to the torch for short term domestic political gains? He doesn’t. The people who voted him into office didn’t.

    He and his political faction have done little else these last five years, and it is hardly surprising that there are consequences to that. Not for them, of course, which is sort of the point.

  3. Former Finnish premier Alexander Stubb coined it perfectly: “only in Brexit la la land….” The world cringes at the fool believing himself to lead the world.

  4. The whole “us” versus “them” is getting old, fast. Raise a valid point and the reply would be buried in nonsense among what labour/SNP/EU/whatever has or hasn’t done.

    Edit; just heard Boris on the sacking of employees at P&O, sure enough, the clown is once again referring to the EU en Starmer failing. Absolute Muppet.
