Desperate.

[gulliver1]

An increasingly desperate Boris, has ordered his staff to step up personal attacks on Keir Starmer, and his past as a Lawer. As confidence in Boris.s Leadership is collapsing amongst Tory members. The Observer has been told , B/J was so furious after PMQs , when Starmer asked B/J to withdraw comments he made about Keir and the IRA. .Boris turned on his staff for leaving him unprepared, and to come up with more attack lines for him to throw at Starmer. I would say Boris and the Tories are running scared , very, very scared.

Gulliver, I don't suppose that you have a link?

[dannyk13]

Thanks Lynne.

[Mamyalynne]

You're welcome.

[theshedman]

The link in the post above yours shows gulliver has more or less just copied it from the Guardian. Buenas tardes gulliver.

[Mamyalynne]

I added the link as I know how these threads start.

[theshedman]

Yes and the thread starter gulliver
never puts them on.

"The Observer has been told" by "a well placed source" yeah yeah yeah.

[ichkeria]

If that is his plan it’s a pretty idiotic one. As the link points out, what was Johnson up to while Sir Keir was lawyering? His IRA jibe rebounded rather as well, when the Claire Fox peerage was brought up.

[dannyk13]

I tend to ignore what 'well placed sources' come up with, especially if connected to the Guardian.

[Mamyalynne]

Exactly,what we don't need is endless in bickering when they should all be getting on with the job they are paid for.

[Mamyalynne]

Let's hope it's all lies then.

Stepping slightly to one side, wouldn’t it be tragic if the dialogue, much of it necessarily behind the scenes, that has led much of Northern Ireland from being a frightening no-go area to being a place of relative normality, was forgotten.

Talking to the ‘enemy’ has always been a distasteful but vital process in stopping wars.

This in its self is the major problem all round, you have the same old tit for tat going on, when at the beginning of this pandemic it was all going to be put to one side, to focus ( on both sides) on the management of the virus. Boris's problem at the moment and his ministers seem hell bent on trying to prove they can do this on their own, refusing to work with other x leaders and the like of. Its about time they realised they need all the help they can get, but I can't see it happening.

Corbyn and Fox’s contribution to the peace process in N Ireland was pretty but zero.
They were more the marching, grandstanding types.

[ichkeria]

Pretty “much” zero :-)
