Boris Johnson is expected to campaign for the Conservatives in red wall seats before the general election after a thawing in relations with Rishi Sunak. The former prime minister is likely to be deployed in the north of England and the Midlands as the Tories seek to win back voters who helped Johnson to an 80 seat majority in 2019. www.thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-johnson-next-general-election-tories-keir-starmerer-jbf30vh08Will he make a difference? Probably not, but I can see why Sunak wants him on the campaign trail. Boris has qualities that most MP's today lack, he is a good campaigner a good communicator and he has a personality. I think most people probably have a more positive opinion of Boris than they do of Sunak.

I remember back before Boris was ousted it was mentioned that the 'adults were now entering the room'. Even Remainer types, limp-wristed liberals and blue-Labourites were happy to see the continuation of low growth,
high tax orthodoxy resumed by Rishi and Hunt muscling out Boris. Now the same folk are whingeing about the state of the country. I don't know why Rishi or Hunt bothered to be perfectly honest. They've been utterly fucking useless
with their managed decline of their party, government and country. They've led with no ambition and no direction, and they will go down in history as part of a government who threw away what was an overwhelming majority to Keir
fecking Starmer. For all Boris' faults at least he had the personality and drive to inspire people. Boris shouldn't be helping this lot dig themselves out the hole they made for themselves by removing him.

What is happening is that the BRICs are growing and we are losing business so we have less revenue coming in.
Saudi Arabia for example has joined the BRICs.
