He's busy running the country at a time when a global pandemic still exists. There’s no obvious evidence of that. His success was based on a very public and ebullient character,which has been found wanting for the current problems.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I doubt a puppet like Starmer could get elected, and he wouldn't make any difference anyway. If he could make a difference he would be stopped.        https://news.sky.com/story/jeremy-corbyn-former-labour-leader-voted-best-prime-minister-britain-never-had-in-twitter-poll-12060443 Is this the poll you are on about  An unofficial Twitter poll gives him the top An official YouGov poll ranks him bottom with a score of minus 53  Hmm which is more credible?  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Anna B   1,414 #199 Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) 7 hours ago, El Cid said: Maybe people should vote for the best policies and not a charismatic leader? Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party had far and away the best policies. All laid out and costed. But most people wouldn't know that, as he didn't get the airtime to explain them.  Ask any Labour person who voted for Boris what Labour's manifesto was and they probably couldn't tell you. Boris made it all about 'Get Brexit done!' Well that's worked out well hasn't it...?  Beyond that people couldn't see the wood for the trees. Now watch, as the NHS is slowly dismantled and privatised by the back door, but don't worry, we'll give them a round of applause instead. Watch as all his cronies get the best contracts. (Ever wondered why Matt Hancock is so keen for doctor's to go online? His family own a huge software company, and he's on the board of the biggest online doctors company in London.) Watch as your home is taken to pay for care. Watch as every bodge and shortcoming is blamed on the Covid crisis in spite of it being caused by them long before covid began. And that's only the start....  A leopard doesn't change its spots, this one just lies and tells everyone he's just a big friendly giraffe. And when things are going badly, he passes the buck and hides. Edited September 2, 2020 by Anna B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Magilla   510 #202 Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, West 77 said: The bereaved family group are a pressure group who have issued litigation proceedings against the Government which is the reason why Boris is not meeting them. This group are considering seeking a judicial review of the decision not to hold an inquiry into the pandemic.  They have not issued litigation proceedings against the Government, at the present time there is no legal action taking place.. at all  The meeting was requested specifically to avoid any need for it!  Boris lied...  ...and as usual you got sold a pup Edited September 2, 2020 by Magilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
taxman   12 #203 Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I'm afraid his PMQ "performance" this afternoon just shows what a spineless and morally bankrupt shyster Johnson is.  Can't answer a straight question so bumbles on, evading and avoiding. For once in a very long time the speaker was forced to intervene. Charlatan.   Edited September 2, 2020 by taxman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

But you are suggesting relatives of covid victims are lying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
