Watch video to see PM Johnson speak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNHcipybhq0
Good to see Rees-Mogg seated.
All in all a promising win. Wish him godspeed.
Also promising a Green Britain with a love for batteries.
He has the potential to be the best PM since Thatcher.
and let announce that Sir James Hacker has been appointed once more as the Minister of Administrative Affairs.
Huh?
"He has charisma. He’s eloquent and disarming. He is capable of winning people over," writes Bret Stephens.
I watched, and there is something of a non-bureaucrat in him, a freedom. It explains the gnashing of teeth elsewhere.
Yea, he’s promising that. You can listen.
Jacob Rees Mog aka “The”Honourable Member for the 18th century.” My kinda guy.
Maybe I missed something, but I don’t think that that is a very high bar.
Sort of like Trump having the potential to be the best president since Reagan.
Of course Thatcher is a high bar (as is Reagan).
“and let announce that Sir James Hacker has been appointed once more as the Minister of Administrative Affairs.”
He was a terrific minister, I loved the way he stood his ground and didn’t let the civil service give him the run around.
Yes!
and when all was said and done they always answered him respectfully as, “Yes Minister”!
True. But I think Johnson will be a good PM.
As long as he puts his country and its people above the interests of the EU and other non-British subjects, he’ll be a major improvement.
He’s exceeded my expectations with his start. Personnel matters—as we’ve seen with Trump’s struggles.
Also, it is actually sounding like there is at least a possibility of Boris and Nigel working together to get a legit Brexit majority in the House of Commons — and Corbyn defeated.
Boris is sounding very much like what Donald would be telling the British people.
MAKE BRITAIN GREAT AGAIN
He has a chance to do far more than that.
With Trump, he could bring a peace-loving new Anglosphere-plus together for a post-NATO, post-UN world: the old British Empire, including the US and India, with other like-minded countries added in could be formidable. If it were careful about it, it could pull Russia closer to its orbit than to China’s, as well.

“He wants to make the United Kingdom the greatest country in the world, and that’s a similar vision of the president of the United States and I believe that if you have a positive vision, you embrace the things that have made the United Kingdom great and the things that have made the United States great -- capitalism, entrepreneurship, freedom -- those are the things that will carry us forward and unite us.”-- Rep. George Holding, R-N.C., the ranking Republican of the British American Parliamentary Group and co-chair of the Congressional U.K. Caucus
