It boggles my mind that anyone at any time in history has taken Boris Johnson as a man of his word
-
Gullis. A symbol of national decline in human form
-
It’s delusional to think the Tory Party cares about working people.
-
Calling the most desperate people in society, “scrotes and scumbags”… this is Tory compassion and empathy.
-
The trouble with democracy is most people are seriously thick.
-
Boris wrote two speeches, one to announce he was pro remain, one to announce he was pro Brexit. The man has no shame. He ended up going Brexit because it was the popularist lean. Tells you everything you need to know.
-
Gotta love the difference between the Labour candidate talking about issues such as cuts to youth services and stuff, and then the Conservative candidate just slags off people and says how he wants to see reactions on twitter.
-
This town literally got what they voted for … nowt !!
-
How Gullis can look anyone in the eye and say he and his party have achieved something is mind boggling.
-
"And I will love every minute of watching twitter melt down about it" - It's all a culture war with the Tories. It's not about policy and promises, it's about proving that they have power even if they do nothing with it
-
I'm pulling an all nighter on election day just so I can watch Jonathan Gullis lose his seat. Cannot wait.
-
Tories have been peddling the same lies for 200 years, it's about time people used their brains.
-
The Scottish guy preparing food. for his blind neighbour brought a lump to my throat 👏
-
Wow. The difference in language between the Labour candidate and Gullis (who just happens to be going round the big houses).
-
If posters with " Funded or co-funded by the EU " were as prominent as the " levelling up" one I doubt Brexit would have happened ! SHAME !!
-
If your sheep and you voted for wolves then prepare to be their dinner
-
Boris promised stuff and then did not deliver. Nobody saw that coming...
-
Finally "Anywhere but Westminster" is back!
-
I remember this guy asked if things were better with Brexit and he said sure! “We have much more food banks now.”
-
All I hear is about winning in this election. It's not about winning and losing, it's about getting an ambulance to somebody that's having a heart attack, giving a bed to somebody that need hospital treatment. A dentist appointment without it costing £300. None of that is about winning, but basic necessities.
