perhaps I dreamed it, but didnt cameron oversee cuts to the storage of vaccines which then cost hundreds of millions to address the shortfall of?

Nah mate, he was too busy pleasuring himself with a pig head whilst Bozo cheered him on.

Not even allegedly.

Bring back Boris. I saw Truss on the telly today and I'm fed up with her already.

The highest office in this country telling bare faced lies as he resigns from the job he should have been removed from two years ago. Accountability, repercussions? Zero. His lies will live on and he will be a martyr for the right of this country. He will be PM again.

At some point the ministerial code needs to be bolstered and these people need to be accountable and truth tellers - otherwise the people will continue to vote for spin doctors over facts. It certainly won't be the current government changing those rules, though.
