Much like when he was an MEP. So the point about whether he wants to govern / actually put the time in is a good one He's a narcissist though, just like Johnson, he'd love to be PM. He'd get someone else to do the actual governing although there is almost noone in the party up to the task of organising a village fete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 6742 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago I think the only way they become viable for governance is via merge with the Tories. Which will happen one way or another, coalition at least. Cabinet will be populated by the usual suspects plus a few Reform orcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 39080 Posted 58 minutes ago Share Posted 58 minutes ago First time in ages I put the six o'clock news on the BBC. First item, a few french police deflating a dinghy in France on a beach in France with asylum seekers in it. Must've been a slow news day globally, I'm guessing absolutely nothing happened anywhere? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been all over the news today. I think that the government is probably pushing it to show that their efforts to engage with the French on this issue are being successful. I cannot think of any other reason why the BBC would be spamming it everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 25142 Posted 22 minutes ago Share Posted 22 minutes ago Is this the new change in France where they can now stop dinghies that have actually launched? Previously if the dinghy got in the water the gendarmes were legally obliged to fold their arms, pull out a Gauloise and theatrically shrug and tut.

ewerk 35080 Posted 5 minutes ago Share Posted 5 minutes ago (edited) It’s still the same unless there’s an immediate threat to life. Just a happy coincidence that a BBC camera crew were there to witness this incident. Edited 4 minutes ago by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
