Well, he’s only received a fine for a cake ambush between meetings. Go figure.

OMG! BBCQT! I’d love to hear your definition of objective!

Actually, this government was elected on the basis that it was the only government that would actually deliver what they wanted (ie Brexit).
Now, you may personally think that Brexit is not the right course for this country, but it was the democratic decision. You need to swallow that.

Yes, the Conservative brand is becoming contaminated by Boris and his cabinet cronies.
I got this email from Boris after he got away with his career:
To call it "content free" would insult all other documents that were content free!
I've highlighted just one paragraph - "the people's priorities". Very close to the top, if not at the top are:
1. Restoration of face-to-face doctor's appointments - at least next day;
2. Proper relief from the cost-of-living crisis - like temporary removal of VAT from fuel prices. The mentioned £37 billion says nothing as to its adequacy (which it won't be).
3. Self-sufficiency on power and food (so far as is possible) instead of the stupid "wilding" policy and not joining up power generation with electric cars (never mind the Victorian terraced streets).
By all means support Ukraine, but do not hold it up as a Conservative triumph; do not claim to be anywhere near fixing social care.
By now, the levelling up policy should have been formed and its basis announced. It's pie in the sky, along with Housing Benefit paying for the right-to-buy mortgage!
Jeez.

This is getting silly now. You completely ignore the dreadful situation we have faced with Covid and the Ukraine situation. You can see the problem, so please, just acknowledge it! Clear that blind spot.
The manifesto was delayed for legitimate reasons. Judge Boris when his time is up, and bear in mind the problems he has been up against.
The manifesto is now being relaunched, so be patient.
