As I said earlier, the Tories have been in power for twelve years. Many of the problems ordinary people are facing today predate bother the war in Ukraine and the Pandemic. Johnson’s belief that neither he nor his Government should ever be held to account appeals to some. Thankfully not the majority.

Everyone’s back at work in the UK. COVID is having near zero impact. It’s not preventing police officers attending 999 calls. It’s not the cause of the old and vulnerable being left without care. It’s not the cause of the housing crisis. It has of course been the excuse for the Government to hand tens of billions to their chums with zero benefit to the public.

This particular piece of smugness deserves its own response because it’s a clear indication of precisely how out of touch you, and this Government, are with the problems people in the UK are facing now. The lack of access to dentists is a significant problem and a regular point of discussion, the perhaps you’ve never had a tooth ache. The message is clear, whether it be access to dentists, GP’s, hospital care or even responding to a 999 call, the public have been abandoned by a government that has no concern for ordinary people.

There was far less poverty. The NHS was not collapsing. NHS waiting lists were shorter. People could find a GP/Dentist There were thousands more police officers and they answered 999 calls. Poverty wasn’t causing millions of people in the UK to regularly skipping meals. Welfare and public services were fully funded. The economy wasn’t stagnant. Billions of tax payer’s money was not being handed to old school chums. Oh, and taxes were lower.

Yes, Labour have been out of power for over a decade, and likewise the Tories have been in power for the same 12 years. So if there are problems in the UK the Tories have had time to fix them ( or cause them): Poverty and the cost of living crisis. The crumbling NHS and ever increasing waiting lists. Mental health services overwhelmed by demand. The housing crisis. Homelessness. The social care crisis. Failing public services across all sectors. The collapse of policing in communities. Air transport chaos. Stagnant economic growth. Corruption of ‘Chumocracy’ in Government. Skills shortages and worker shortages. UK borders open to all forms of smuggling. The list goes on. 12 years in Government, it’s all on the Tories.
