His entire campaign has (rightly) been based on leaving in October.

May tried and failed on Brexit and that her legacy I'm afraid.

If he does not leave then he will have failed too and should go immediately.

Sky News report that Boris Johnson's Cabinet will be 2 thirds Brexit and 1 third Remainer. This is precisely the mistake that Therese May made, when trying to please everybody and failing catastrophically. Here we go again.


Boris assembles his team: Johnson immediately appoints Remainer Mark Spencer as chief whip after becoming Tory leader in landslide vote - but will Hunt KEEP his Cabinet position after last-minute backstage chat with new PM?

Yes preparation for Brexit has actually been a big positive for this company, no sticking of heads in the sand here.

More than 3,000 sign petition to ‘save’ south London pub

More than 3,000 sign petition to ‘save’ south London pub

More than 3,000 have signed a petition in protest against the development of flats above the White Hart pub in London.

Freehold landlord of the 19th century property, the Wellington Pub Group, is seeking to redevelop the space above the Lewisham pub, which is currently operating as an 11-bedroom guesthouse, into flats.

Managers of the craft beer pub and music venue, brothers Patrick and Joseph Ryan, have said the move would make their business “untenable” as the pub would be forced to close at midnight and amplified music would be prohibited.

The pub currently hosts four nights of live music every week. They say these events bring in half of the pub’s income. The Ryans are now encouraging people to object to the planning application filed with Lewisham Council.

“We started this project two and a half years ago in an effort to revive the White Hart as an exciting and valuable destination for the New Cross community, young and old,” the brothers say on the petition page.

“To have our pub threatened after so much hard work is painful, to say the least.”

The application is set to be heard by the council’s planning committee on 1 August and planning officers have said they intend to recommend the scheme for refusal.

The Wellington Pub Company has been contacted for comment.

Number of permanent pub closures halve across start of 2019 >>

although I can not stand the man who is an extrme brexiter and obviously thinks he will personally make heaps of dosh if we crash out , I have to say that JDW has been a
good investment and now a NOR situation

Pork Pies too ...

[bountyhunter] 22/7/2019 13:46

Tim should bring back pasties to the british pub scene; we would then pick up some of the Greggs business :-)

...also made in Cornwall to complement the Doombar!

[arja] 22/7/2019 13:44

pathetic dividend and same each year which does not inspire confidence although
market ignoring it and it has a lovely uptrending chart even on back of minimal increase in profits - beats me ! ( smile )

[ignoble] 19/7/2019 08:35

Wetherspoons and Greggs....
Shows where the money is being spent

[zztop] 19/7/2019 08:31

Wetherspoons is the only high street business making a profit...

[emptyend] 18/7/2019 21:59

Must say that I wish I'd bought in, after the Referendum in 2016. About 750p.Strangely they don't have a pub in my local town in Suffolk, but have been sitting on a development site for three years - and have submitted 4-5 schemes.

1500 share price super performance, star of my PF :-)

Willingness to compromise May says.. Calls in her mps like schoolchildren asks them what they want. They say short delay then out of the EU Theresa. She ignores them and invites corbyn to downing street fails again then calls for a second referendum when finally her own mps voted her out. She was a pure EU traitor propped up by a couple of hundred sneaky tory europhiles. Better wake up now you clowns and back our leave vote or its bye bye conservative.

We need a Trump here in the UK.

TRUMP RALLY
