Boris was only made PM for the britex then the pandemic came along and nobody wanted the job 

Starmer is as bad as Corbin just sits on top of the fence without commitment

the by election there was a turnout of about 46% and the libdems got about 47% of that vote so about 25% of the electorate voted for them (in rough figures)   I think it will be different in a general election if the Tories change there leader  

if labor get into power in the next election they will not know what to do about the large deficit in the country's budget

So , the bloke " investigating " the Chriastmas party at no 10 has been taken off the investigation coz he had a party in his own office as well 😄 How funny is that ?

What I find bothering about this is that had this not come to light he would have happily carried on with what I am sure would have been a completely unbiased investigation

Yeah, there’d be a certain comedic irony to that Labour inheriting a financial basket case rather than leaving one  😂😂😂

 

Remember the note last time - there’s no money left

What about the college mate of PM 's that got appointed to head the charity commission and clamp down on "woke" charities without formal job vetting procedures.

 

Mind the charity business needs a thorough looking at; most don't realise the self serving , highly paid staff who get away with excesses because there is no adequate regulation.

Strangely he doesn't mention the Interpretation Bill "in which ministers will strike out findings from judicial reviews the government did not agree with" nor the bits of the police bill that make  trespass criminal acts which will inhibit the right to divert around an obstruction on a PRoW. I think he's got it right about the PM not being a bumbling idiot but taking us for a ride, we can see that from the cronyism that has run unchecked. The ghost of Pastor Martin Niemöller should show us that it is not impossible for this to happen in our cosy little world.

He's a very clever and exceedingly dangerous cnut imo
I read somewhere a whole load of changes to planning rules were snuck through whilst all this crap has been going on.

The damage done to our country by this man;- it's people, it's green and pleasant land and it's international reputation will take years, maybe generations to repair. Myriad dodgy bills have been sneaked through and dodgy crony deals done, all under the cover of Brexit and a global pandemic.
Seems like the whole house of cards is starting to collapse now though so maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel and we'll finally get shot of the monster.

Oh aye, the tories are determined our money is spent well!! 🤣🤣, how’s the deficit now? Oh yes “that’s because of covid”…. and, of course it is. Are you trying to tell me that Johnson cares about the deficit more than labour worry about it? Does he f**k! That’s not his money or his cronies, it’s our taxes, they don’t give shit, they only worry about private company profits and bungs.
