Well done Boris!

Certainly was passionate and he was promising some "lefty"
changes! Can he deliver and where is the money coming from?

I hope all his optimism is justified and he Makes Britain Great Again.

One criticism (and a lot of Politicians get this wrong); his body
language was out of sync with his words, reminded me of Tony
Blair when he first became PM! Oh well , more practice needed.

The rest of His body was probably embarrassed about the lies coming out of its face.
Apparently he’s a ‘One Nation Tory’ but I’m convinced he’s a ‘One Tory Nation’

Struggling Boris?

Oh dear.

Then he resorts to leaving the detail to common-sense and goodwill.
What a Plan!

I think both are in short supply.

Somehow the EU needs to muster both.

The UK leaving without a deal is a fast-approaching reality. The deal on the table is dead. Surely common sense will come to the fore in the EU, fuelled, if not by goodwill, then self preservation?

Boris isn't bluffing.

Neither are the EU.

A deal was negotiated after a lot of work (and cost).
It was (rightly or wrongly) turned down by Parliament.

In the fullness of time a deal will be agreed.
But I can't see the EU rushing into anything.
