However Boris is the one in charge.So the buck stops with him.

Having not seen the news item alluded to by the twitter post Andrew read (sheeesh), I was assuming (presuming, guessing) that the 'big cervix' question' was in relation to the cervix comment made by K. Starmer last week sometime.
The only reason I see as to why a news program would question Boris on this, is to get a juicy news worthy reply with which to carry on the ridiculous (IMO) transgender crap that started it.
I honestly fail to see how the 'buck stops with Boris' here?

Actually my reply is more to do with the fact he NEVER actually answers any questions.Just waffles and blusters and always manages to pass the buck.After any interviews these days I'm no wiser as to what he's actually saying. What does build back better actually mean?

Re: Conservative Conference
Yes; when the Tories have been in power 29 years out the last 42 it’s an interesting concept that they’re unaccountable for the decades of economic failure they not profess to plan to fix.
Essentially we are government by focus groups/PR.

What does any of it actually mean, level up, build back better, get brexit done, catchy little phrases done to grab the publics attention with little to no substance behind them other than looking good in headlines, probably got it from make America great or Tory Blairs "now is nor the time for soundbites but I can feel the hand of history on our shoulders" classic

Their great con is convincing people to vote against their best interests, they only get away with it because we allow them to

For what it's worth, in this day and age anyone giving a straight answer to a question is opening themselves up to a further barrage of questions, many from those who like to give the knife a little twist on the way in.
Build Back Better, I would hope, possibly means we become less reliant on other countries for our needs & requirements. How we do that is anyones guess . .

To some, it's down-sizing lower margin activities like farming and moving to higher-value ones like chip design. To others it's onshoring manufacturing. To others, it's sharing wealth more equally in the future.
So, all things to all people and the next election's in the bag!

If you can't give a straight answer to a straight question then surely you are opening yourself up to being seen as shifty and unreliable.

Re: Conservative Conference
New Tory economic model. I can’t wait to see the plans outlined in detail and how the deviate from the 1980s when they last introduced one!
