Anyway with the search function broken, can't find the old thread. But over the last few weeks, Boris has been busy doing the below, a) Going to reopen parliament very late so that not much time to garner support to block brexit b) Trying to kick out the opposition to no-deal brexit within his party via use of party whip c) Changing the conservative party to essentially the Brexit party For all intents and purposes, he's going to drag England into Brexit. Not sure what stumbling blocks Corbyn and the anti-no deal opposition within the Tories are going to do. He's trying to position himself so that Nigel Farage doesn't have a chance to sneak in and steal his thunder? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-01/fate-of-brexit-is-up-in-the-air-as-johnson-delivers-surprises?srnd=premium-asia

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has launched a new campaign encouraging Londoners to turn off their engines when their vehicle is stationary for more than a minute. Delivered by the Transport for London (TFL), the campaign urges drivers of all vehicles to switch off their engines when they are parked or when picking up and dropping off people or goods, reducing the amount of unnecessary and harmful exhaust fumes emitted. A study conducted shows that by doing so, CO2 emissions would be reduced by 100 million kg each year. The campaign also highlights the health benefits of reducing pollution levels and that includes preventing and alleviating illnesses such as asthma and heart and lung conditions. In addition, a research revealed that poor air quality contributes to around 4,300 premature deaths in London in a year and affects the quality of life. Some motorists may be concerned that re-starting the engine repeatedly within a short time frame may be detrimental to the vehicle
