Undergoing some political turbulence yes but Britain is still very highly regarded abroad and it's only BDS-suffering Remoaners who run this country down.
The row about the news conference barely registered in the American media.

Here at home Johnson's approval ratings since he entered No 10 are up.

Among all voters by 5 point

Among Leavers by 16 points

Among Conservatives by 21 points

You ought to pay less attention to Adonis and Campbell and get out into the wider world more often.
Social media is not real life.
Brits will always be well thought of by the Americans, even those brexiteers....

Regarding polls, Boris’s popularity is now only minus 16.

It’s clutching at straws to say, look how well he’s doing, he isn’t, it’s just that the other numpties are doing worse.

A total of 21 per cent of people said they hold a positive opinion of him and 70 per cent a negative one.

We're agreed then.
Polls show Boris has a popularity rating three times greater than that of the leader of the opposition.
That wasn't so difficult.

Most remainers would vote for Boris over Corbyn if push comes to shove....

That’s why a referendum is needed, Brexit is a totally separate issue to governance and needs dealing with separately.

Well, you're going to get a General Election first britinspain. The result of that will see if you get a referendum or not.

If you do get a referendum, it's going to be a dirty campaign, maybe with some violence. The politicians are terrified what they have unleashed from the 2016 vote.

It's their own fault. The unrest concerning the EU has been growing for decades. Maybe if just one political party stopped selling us out, they would get more respect.

As for the schoolgirl Liberal leader, she is bringing me great joy. I never thought I'd see such a silly idealist ever again.

Thanks for the Lolz.
The people who have spent the last three and a half years condeming David Cameron for holding a referendem because they say it's not the way to run a democracy are the very same people now demanding .... a SECOND referendum.
Unless they're the Liberal Democrats who attacked Cameron this week for holding the referendum even though they themselves called for a referendum before he'd even thought of having one.
A bit like Labour,the SNP,the Liberal Democrats and whatever the various breakaway parties are called who've been stamping their feet for a general election for years and now when they're offered one have gone all shy about it.
Come the election the British public will see through this rag-tag collection of chancers,spoofers and liars who by then will still be as hopelessly divided as they are now.
Good times.

This is going to be a hell of a general election. Boris will tear the schoolgirl Liberal leader apart. Hope she doesn't cry. Then, he can get stuck into old time Marxist Corbyn.

Blood and claw, no prisoners taken. Let the truth be revealed about Corbyn. He is already low in the polls. Folks have seen right through him. Time he was sent to the Marxist old folk's home. He can take Diane Abbott and John McDonnell with him. They will be able to talk about the good old days.

Corbyn will be forgotten quickly. Within five years, he will be able to say to his carers, "I almost made it to be Prime Minister......." His carers will say, "of course you did. Eat your porridge."

A referendum got the country into this mess and a referendum is the only way out of it.

I've said before, if brexit actually goes ahead it´ll be because the only thing worse for the UK than brexit is a Corbyn government.

You and all leavers know this ,which is why you welcome a general election but fear a referendum.

It's been a hell of a ride this last three years for sure, britinspain. I guess we all just want it to end now though, whichever way it pans out.

No hard feelings whichever way that is. I think we're all just wore out by it now. But, I guess we will all raise ourselves for one last effort to win for whatever we believe is right.
