Just putting it out there. Nifty, although the simple ones remind me of the 'step' (kickscooter?) I had when I was a wee lad.

On brexit we have BoJo talking about the E.U.'s interest as if Britain's interest is of no importance. "On Brexit, Johnson dismissed the repeated comments by EU figures that his stated plan to renegotiate the withdrawal agreement could not happen, saying this view would rapidly change once he became prime minister. “Possibly it’s the case that they would say that at this particular stage in the negotiations. You would expect them to say that kind of thing,” he said. “I don’t think they are going to want a disorderly Brexit of any kind. It’s not in their interest. There’s no reason why they should want the sudden imposition of tariffs and quotas.”" www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jun/30/johnson-prepared-increase-public-borrowing

I can't wait to see BoJo do a 180 when he becomes PM and announces REVOKE as the best outcome
anyway, that's my bold prediction

A general election might be better than a second referendum. Of course elections in October would mean an implicit move again of a possible brexit date. That's annoying, to both Brits as well as the EU27 people.

BoJo currently earns about £275,000-a-year as Daily Telegraph columnist. I assume he has to give up that plush job if he becomes Prime Minister?

I'm sure BoJo mean well and he doesn't want to imply that people at the 'edges' of the UK, or even Brummies should learn proper English. This is only for new immigrants, not for those already there I'm a bit puzzled though, I thought this was already a requirement for immigrants and those coming to study. Not sure though about refugees who after all are not supposed to stay that long unless granted immigrant status. "Johnson pledges to make all immigrants learn English Tory leadership contender says English is not first language in ‘too many parts of our country’ Boris Johnson has said there are “too many parts of our country” where English is not spoken as a first language and that he would require all immigrants to Britain to learn English. At a hustings event for the Conservative leadership race in Darlington on Friday, the former mayor of London praised the capital’s diversity but suggested some communities were not doing enough to integrate into society." www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jul/05/johnson-pledges-to-make-all-immigrants-learn-english

Boris needs to enforce this by use of electric cattle prods.
Only then can he win back the Farage supporters.
