Es kann gut sein, dass Johnson, sollte er gewählt werden, das Parlament auflöst und Neuwahlen festsetzt. (Kann er als PM ohne Probleme.) Während der Zwischenphase führt er den Brexit durch und sichert sich dann eine 200-Stimmen-Mehrheit.

UK accused of 'silently eroding' EU pesticide rules in Brexit laws
Analysis finds changes such as removal of blanket ban on hormone-disrupting chemicals

The UK has been accused of “silently eroding” key environmental and human health protections in the Brexit-inspired rush to convert thousands of pages of European Union pesticide policy into British law.

Despite government claims the process would be little more than a technical exercise, analysis by the University of Sussex’s UK Trade Policy Observatory (UKTPO) has uncovered significant departures from EU regulations, including the removal of a blanket ban on hormone-disrupting chemicals, which are known to cause adverse health effects such as cancer, birth defects and immune disorders.

The UK legislation removes the EU system of checks and balances to give a handful of ministers the power to create, amend and revoke pesticide legislation. It also appears to weaken the existing “precautionary principle” approach, which requires scientific evidence from an independent body that a pesticide is safe to use. Instead, UK ministers are given the option to obtain and consider such evidence at their own discretion....

To me it's a little bit unfair to the lobsters. The EU is more like the USSR, and as it has more soviets (councils) it's even more USSR than the USSR. It has the same degree of transparency, the same sort of newspeak and of doublethink. And it has the same wretched, drunken leaders as the USSR...

Boris Johnson Brexit plan difficult or impossible, says Philip Hammond
Chancellor casts doubt on viability of Tory leadership favourite’s promises

Boris Johnson’s Brexit plan is impossible as the UK will not be able to leave the EU with a deal or without a deal by the end of October, Philip Hammond, the chancellor, has said.

Hammond, who is fighting against no deal, cast doubt on the viability of the Brexit promises of Johnson and other Tory leader contenders such as Dominic Raab as he gave a speech in Westminster.
He said many of the candidates were pledging things that they could not deliver during their campaigns which they may have to go back on later.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/201...ossible-hammond

Jeder weiss dass Boris ein notorischer Luegner ist und das sein Wort nichts wert ist. Genau wie bei trumski hier bei uns auch.
Und dennoch klammern sich viele an Versprechungen, von denen sie selbst von vorneherein bereits erwarten, dass sie nur Luegen von Versprechungen sind, die nicht eingehalten werden.
Warum das so ist werde ich zwar nie ganz begreifen -es ist fuer mich etwas voellig alien- aber ich nehme an, es hat einfach damit zu tun, dass viele Menschen sich in ihrer Schwaeche und Hilflosigkeit mal eine kurze Zeitspanne der Wonne der Versprechung geniessen wollen. Ein prima Gefuehl - the short time while it lasts. And before reality strikes again.

Nicht ganz unaehnlich der Ehefrau, die regelmaessig von ihrem Alten windelweich gepruegelt wird -nur um ihm prompt wieder zu glauben, wenn er nach dem Drama erstmal wieder reumuetig bekundet "ab jetzt wird alles anders". Sie hofft -gegen alles eigene bessere Wissen. Und das immer, immer wieder.

Brexit: Leaked cabinet note admits UK not ready for no-deal exit on October 31, blowing hole in Boris Johnson leadership pledge
Building up adequate stockpiles of medicines for a no-deal Brexit will take ‘six to eight months’, leaked cabinet note says

The warning says the pharmaceutical industry needs that period of help from the government “to ensure adequate arrangements are in place to build stockpiles of medicines”.

It also says that it would take “at least 4-5 months” to make traders ready for the new border checks that might be required, including incentives to register for fresh schemes.

The note was revealed by The Financial Times as Mr Johnson – the overwhelming favourite to succeed Theresa May – launched his campaign on a pledge to leave the EU on 31 October “deal or no deal”.

Brexit brawl: Esther McVey’s leadership launch in chaos as Brexiteer storms stage
TORY leadership contender Esther McVey was interrupted mid-speech this afternoon by a furious Brexiteer who barrelled towards the podium, snatched the microphone and bellowed “you are fake news! You are all fake Conservatives” - before claiming that the UK had already left the EU, and that a case in the High Court would prove it.

Whatever. Auch, nicht zu erkennen, wenn Vorbereitungene hintertrieben werden ist Inkompetenz. Das Land stand bereits zweimal vor dem unmittelbaren Termin. Beide male haette man das erkennen und korrigieren muessen. Zumal die Medien darueber auch ausfuehrlich berichteten.

Die Konfrontation mit einem No-deal Brexit ist fuer die EU ein vergleichsweise minor Problem, da sie nach wie vor in der bevorteilten Position sind -gegenueber dem UK, wie auch im Vergleich zum UK.
Fuer das UK auf der anderen Seite jedoch wird es zu einer Zerreissprobe mit existentieller Bedrohung. Eine ganz andere Liga, in der die dann spielen muessen. Und das wissendlich unzureichend vorbereitet. Das muss katastrophal werden.

Und das mit Leuten in der Regierung, die diesbezueglich bereits ausfuehrlich und unuebersehbar Inkompetenz demonstriert haben. Grosse Guete.

Nein, das ist keine Inkompetenz, sondern Verrat. Bewusster Verrat im Zusammengehen mit den Brüsselern. (So wie - das muss ich leider feststellen - englische Katholiken im Zusammengehen mit Spanien Verrat an der eigenen Nation übten.)

Für beide Seiten ist ein no-deal-Brexit ein Problem, für Deutschland angesichts der Exportüberschüsse gegenüber UK ein besonders großes. Kommen noch Strafzölle aus den USA hinzu, wird das Problem noch größer. Kühlt sich die chinesische Konjunktur aufgrund der US-Zölle ab oder sind die Chinesen nicht mehr bereit, sich in dem bisherigen Ausmaß zu verschulden, kommt ein weiteres Problem auf die deutsche Wirtschaft zu, deren Politiker es versäumt haben, über Steuersenkungen und massive Investitionen in Infrastruktur (Leverkusener Brücke googlen), Bildung und Foschung die Binnenkonjunktur zu fördern. Für die Briten ist es natürlich auch ein Problem, wenn der Zugang zu einem der großen Weltmärkte plötzlich erschwert wird (WTO-Bedingungen).

Und das alles wegen Irland und dem backstop, wegen eines Landes, das massiv falsch gespielt und Ländern wie Deutschland oder Frankreich geschadet hat durch seine EU-subventionierte Steuerpolitik. Und das dann mit deutschen Steuergeldern "gerettet" werden musste. Als Bundeskanzler würde ich ganz anders mit den Iren reden.

Boris Johnson is every bit as dull and evasive as his minders hoped
They hadn’t put him in solitary confinement for weeks for him to blow it on his first outing

The instructions from his minders had been clear. Keep it dull, keep it vague and get the hell out of the room as fast as possible. They hadn’t gone to the trouble of keeping their man away from the media for weeks on end, only for him to blow it on his first outing. The last thing they wanted was for Boris Johnson to be the real Boris Johnson. His serial dishonesty, his total untrustworthiness and sheer incompetence were best kept under wraps, at least until after he became the prime minister. What was required for his campaign launch was a hollowed-out Boris. Someone who could near enough pass himself off as credible.

Geoffrey Cox, a man with a long track record of defending the indefensible, took to the stage of a crowded, overheated room in Westminster to get proceedings under way. This was a time of great crisis for the country, he intoned in his trademark cod-Shakespearean baritone. Cox never tires of hearing his own voice. The next prime minister needed to be a person of the very highest calibre. Someone who could unite the country. Someone of the soundest character. Despite all this, he was still going to back Boris. Because the leadership contest had only ever been about the survival of the Tory party. And Johnson was the only lifeboat in view.

Moments later a crumpled, ashen Johnson appeared to a standing ovation of dozens of Tory MPs. At which point it became clear this wasn’t so much a leadership launch as a jobs fair for the not very talented. It’s quite something when Liz Truss, Gavin Williamson and Chris Grayling are three of the brightest people in the room. ...

“Piffle, poffle, wiffle, waffle,” Johnson mumbled, tugging on a sweaty strand of hair. His minders purred. This was every bit as boring and low key as they had hoped. Most of the audience were dozing off long before their man had finished his first sentence, and even Boris was having trouble keeping his eyes open. Backstage, someone turned the heating up another couple of notches. Just to maintain the torpor.

There was one tricky moment when Johnson talked about the need to have a strict moral purpose. Two words that have never knowingly been applied to him. Not even his own family trusts him to tell the truth. His family especially don’t trust him to tell the truth. They know everything is all about Boris. Always has been, always will be. His narcissistic personality disorder makes it impossible for him to view other people as anything more than satellites of his own ego.

Sensing he was veering towards dangerous territory, Johnson switched tack. “Piffle, poffle, wiffle, waffle,” he mumbled. He was going to get a good Brexit deal because EU trade negotiations were based on the Hegelian dialectic. The more the EU distrusted a prime minister, the more likely it was to offer the UK everything we asked for. But if by any chance he couldn’t get a deal by 31 October then he was quite happy to leave with no deal. He wisely kept his fingers firmly crossed.

Johnson couldn’t help looking a bit disappointed when he concluded his speech. His one nation appeal had always felt tenuous and no one appeared convinced. He was used to entertaining people and felt deprived without unconditional acclaim. This was more of a business transaction. His need to be prime minister in exchange for MPs’ need to keep their jobs.

Even he could sense there was something rather grubby about it. Three years previously, he had had a brief window of self-awareness in which he had realised he was totally unfit to lead the country.
Now his dysfunction and denial were back up and running. He would destroy himself and he would destroy the country. A massive ego with zero self-esteem. ...

Inept slew of Tory politicians have hands on history’s tiller
This is a time when we can only feel a deep well of sympathy for ordinary British people
Kathy Sheridan

The bar is not just low, it is buried. In London, the great achievement of Boris Johnson’s handlers has been to get him a haircut and keep him hidden for weeks. This is the luminary who sees himself as an Attlee or a Churchill, the one whose loose mouth as foreign minister ensured that Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe would continue to rot in an Iranian jail.

The insta-policies of Johnson – the bookies’ favourite to become prime minister – and other willy-waving frontrunners only prove how reactionary and stupid they believe their party colleagues and members to be. Forget the national interest. The cunning plan is to keep the Tory MPs on their padded Westminster benches and the way to do it, they reckon, is to out-Farage Farage, mainly by promising to Brexit hard, on schedule at Halloween.

Choreography is crucial. Win the key to No 10, reopen negotiations, ban all mention of a back stop, bang up a new deal and guide it through parliament before Brexit day, being ultracareful to avoid a catastrophic general election en route. Simples, as the ousted leader doubtless hums several times daily, with a smirk. Meanwhile, to no-one’s surprise, a Financial Times analysis suggests that Brexit uncertainty has caused a 30 per cent drop in investment in the UK, while the EU27 have seen a surge of 43 per cent.

The rabbit hole
Is this schadenfreude, as letter writers suggest? It’s more like disbelief. This is a time when the rest of us can only feel a deep well of sympathy for ordinary British people. The two nominees for prime minister will be chosen by the most inept, ignorant slew of Tory politicians in modern history. ...

It were the ordinary people, the somewheres, who in England and Wales voted massively for Brexit. It are the ordinary British people who are deeply disappointed and who are justly upset with their political leaders in general and with the House of Commons in particular. For the rest: I'm of the opinion that the UK is much fitter than Germany to successfully overcome the economic challenges of the future.

Der Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office ist auf jeden Fall ein Tory. Wie gut informierte Quellen berichteten verließ der Chief Mouser, der lange unter Thatcher gedient hatte, die Downing Street nach dem Wahlsieg von Tony Blair.

So etwas ist wohl nur in England möglich. :-)
