Things I have always known about Boris Johnson - he likes the ladies, he runs his mouth off, he stretches the truth to breaking point and he gets shit done when he wants to - things I have learnt in the last few days - all of the above

1/

I didn't vote for Johnson because I thought he was the Pope - in fact to a certain extent quite the reverse - I actually thought that I understood him because he did all those things - he wasn't some fake PR generated cardboard cutout of a politician

2/

But more broadly I voted for him because he promised to deliver Brexit and leveling up - he said he loved this country and would fight for it - that is more than most of the others said or did

There are many in the UK who think that the UK is on a glide path to rejoin the EU via a series of deals which will move us closer to the block - let's talk about the reality of the situation in a simple thread

1/

One of the big "losers" from Brexit was going to be the city of London - this was never going to happen but has now been proven to be nonsense - the city is moving on and now has a taste of life without EU regulation

They won't want to go back now or in the future

2/

Trade is already moving - making membership far less valuable than before - whereas much of business campaigned to stay - they will within a few years hate to rejoin even more - more uncertainty and disruptions to work through

No chance

Many will disagree but if you want to talk about inequality - then yes you should talk about race - but also about class - location - education - culture - even time in the country - these are all drivers of inequality

1/

And we do need to talk about them - I don't know anyone who wants to live in a country where people don't get a fair crack at the whip - therefore we need to work to resolve them - and we can - there is nothing which is unsolvable with time and effort

2/

But the importation of American style culture wars, post modernism via the universities and critical race theory is making it impossible - because it's unravelling the many advances we have made towards better relations between all groups

The race report has the usual crowd of anti British commentators and academics out in force - what's interesting is how little anyone cares - there appears to have been a structural change within the general public - people are no longer interested in their views or care

1/

It feels like they over reached last year when accusing 85% of the population of being racist fascists - I know what a shock - this is taking time to feed into the political and cultural systems but it's being noticed

2/

From politicians like Starmer through to charities like the National Trust our elites are seeing a wall of hostility - they are getting hurt in the voting booth or wallet etc - when they attempt to push their anti British identitarian agendas
