Ken Clarke, "Politically you can't rejoin the European Union at the moment it would cause its own nightmare, divisions and crisis"
"Brexit is doing damage to our economy"
"The time has come to rejoin the Customs Union and the EU Single Market would be a huge, huge advantage to us"

Always think it's important to point out that our healthcare isn't free, it's free at the point of use - we all pay for it through a variety of taxes. A lot of people don't realise this and it helps counter the (US, usually) narrative of 'who'll pay for it?!''. We all will, we all do.
Average healthcare costs in the US:
Giving birth? $18,000
Cancer treatment? $150,000
One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.
That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.
Cost in Canada? $0.
Cost in the UK? $0.
Cost in Australia? $0.

Remember another Johnson denial:
"reports emerged that the politician was having an extramarital affair with Spectator columnist Petronella Wyatt. Mr Johnson initially dismissed the claims as an “inverted pyramid of piffle”, before more concrete evidence came to light."
He's not a serious person.

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

I’m fed up of this respectful, polite play-nicely approach, while the right wing media make up shit and pump out distraction propaganda on a daily basis.
The BBC have been falling over themselves to keep Farage/Mail/Telegraph/Express happy for years, but they never are and never will be.

BBC Director General Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness have both quit. Getting rid of a former Tory candidate and the woman who wanted to change output to gain the trust of Reform voters should definitely sort out any left wing bias.

Listening to Charles Moore on R4 Today, he described the BBC as "Left Wing". The same channel that platforms Reform PLC at every opportunity.
