But by all means, keep on pointing and sniggering about factual inaccuracies in rhetoric that ultimately make precisely no difference whatsoever to the outcome of anything at all.

Yes, I was so foolish as to believe what Boris states is going to happen to be factual (btw, love the phrase "super-literally"; Is it the truth? Is it a lie? It’s Superliterally!") - you appear to be stating we shouldn’t believe what he says, just like it...
On a separate, yet related note, Boris is setting new records, and going down (ooo-errr, missus) in history -
He became the first PM to lost their first vote in office since 1783
- Blair suffered 4 defeats in 10 years.
- Thatcher suffered 4 in 11 years.
- Cameron 10 times in 6 years.
- May 33 times in 2 years.
- Johnson 4 times in 2 DAYS.
All this WINNINGĦĦĦ
