7:05 pm
society there are those on the one hand that us saying finally there is our man in office to see through and on the other hand very many brits that believe that boris johnson is the one running this country into the abyss based on what boris johnson is promising and what he has said so far how do his chances look. well it's very high it's going to be very hot for him so he has $98.00 days to deliver breck's that his plan is to go back to brussels and renegotiate now brussels has already said we won't allow any renegotiation but let's say boris johnson miraculously comes out with a new deal with a new plan and he comes back to parliament then he will face a problem here because he has the conservatives here have a very slight majority at this point and it doesn't seem very likely that he will get a deal through and then we're looking at the possible scenario if and no deal and that is becoming more and more likely we're also looking at a scenario of a possible general election should shake up the numbers in parliament to finally
