Current Affairs The next Tory (strong and stable) leader is Boris Johnson

[NilSatisOptimum]

Levelling up is a joke. No one knows what or how it is meant to operate.

The Industrial strategy became the plan for growth. Again, no idea what the actual plan is.

Energy / energy security policy? By all accounts it was an absolute poop show in it's making and is wholly unsatisfactory.

But let's be fair to Johnson, we've had the Tories since 2010. Anyone feel like they live in a Big Society? Has austerity worked (i.e. cleared the deficit / national debt)? Has our housing stock increased and diversified as required?

Back to Johnson, it's a low base to start with, incredibly he's below par. Damning.

No coincidence the likes of Justine Greening are no longer welcome in the Johnsons Tory party, Johnsons Levelling up is Greenings social mobility program, stripped back to buzz words and void of policy.

See it's time to pay the Piper back now, urgent tax cuts for their rich donors coming up, another Johnson bribe to his party as a thank you for keeping him in office. Of course when you get your fiver back at the end of the month, which is absolute nothing compared to what extra your paying back thanks to the Tory cost of living crisis, they will make out its for your benefit. Man of the people eh....oh and a couple of key elections coming up, nothing to do with that either..

Get away, he didn’t lay a glove on him apart from his usual naming of someone who died while waiting for an ambulance. One day even Starmer might come to realise that the PM is there to ensure the NHS gets funded and that his Health Minister directs the the very top level of the civil service. Boris doesn’t take 999 calls nor does he drive the ambulance….

Because whatever he is responsible for, Johnson is iresponsible

2 questions in and he lost his head .. waving his arms and pointing fingers whilst having nothing to say and saying it too loud… whilst not answering any question directly put to him

Boris doesn’t take 999 calls nor does he drive the ambulance….

He does, however, cream off valuable contracts for his cronies.

Who is to blame for the NHS funding crisis, a funding squeeze is leaving the NHS overwhelmed

Key facts about the funding of the NHS. Has the NHS got enough resources. How does our spending on health compare with other countries. What about the staffing crisis, rationing, delays in care?

Not sure the use of "Blockbuster health system in the age of Netflix" is particularly appropriate. Blockbuster went bust, with Netflix being one of the reasons for its demise.

I suspect that was his point - that the NHS is outdated.
