Iain Dale slates ‘ultra-remainers’ criticising Boris Johnson’s Ukraine visit

  1. I guess it’s out fault for having a memory longer than a goldfish? Hmm…maybe “memory longer than a coke fiend” would be more fitting for the Tories.

  2. Lord Heseltine has told Good Morning Britain that Boris Johnson is a politician who “waits to see the way the crowd is running and then dashes in front”.
    He said: “Well, I think that you have to see Boris as a career map. He works it out, he decides which way the wind is blowing, and that wonderful phrase about a politician – a man who waits to see the way the crowd is running and then dashes in front and says, ‘Follow me’.”

  3. > Iain argued that those criticising the PM are “people who seem to just be ultra-remainers” who “cannot see any good in Boris Johnson whatsoever.”

    I’m guessing here “ultra-remainer” is a bizarre euphemism for “someone who can read”? Boris could reveal himself to be Palpatine then electrocute the queen with his force lightning, all live on TV, and there would *still* be people pretending that anyone criticizing him was only doing it because of Brexit.

    The criticism of Boris was that he’s done the visit because of political opportunism. He’s there because he wants headlines to distract from partygate. Same reason he’s been screaming about trans people recently.

    On the other hand, von Der Leyen doesn’t have a partygate to distract from.

  4. Dale is not waving but drowning. His attempts at portraying Brexit as anything but a catastrophe are just embarrassing.

    He is capable of intelligent discourse, but not on this one.
