Javid was health minister. He's gone and will now be replaced by someone more competent.

That's not a very nice way to refer to Carrie.

I could count them on one hand. I'm not concerned. If Boris goes then he goes. The Conservatives will retain power, hopefully with a PM who doesn't lean to the left every time his wife puts a silly idea in his head.

Sorry to hear about your Mother. But you're wasting your time trying to explain to this poster that Boris doesn't actually manage the ambulances. He'd blame the Tories for the floods in Sydney...

Bi Elections? ???? Clutching at straws. .. Don't worry. Your lot will get another shot by 2025. I'm sure they'll manage to hit another trough at just the right time ????.

You might want to check out the Tories majority in the HOC. General Elections tend to carry more weight than opinion polls and local elections.

Clearly it appeals to more people than are gullible enough to believe that the inept charlatans in the Labour party are fit to govern.

It appears what you want is to blame the Tories for everything, including a global pandemic and the war in Ukraine (which FYI is a big contributor in the cost of living crisis). The solutions are being implemented but will take time. Mercifully, with Labour nowhere near power for the foreseeable future.

There is a backlog. The NHS was delaying treatment while COVID was killing millions of people throughout the world. Maybe an analogy would help? When you have a crash on the motorway and traffic jams back up for 20km, it doesn't all instantly disappear as soon as the damaged vehicles are moved onto the hard shoulder. It takes time. If you are the last one in that 20km queue, it can take quite a lot of time. <snip>

Covid-19 put an incredible strain on the NHS. While the government's increased NHS spending and excellent vaccine management program helped matters, there is inevitably a backlog for treatment after such an incredibly destructive pandemic. Ignoring the impact of Covid to score political points is disingenuous in the extreme.

The whole world is facing massive problems right now. You might have heard of a virus called Covid-19?

Lucky you weren't living in Iraq, having your family killed by Blair's illegal invasion based on the WMD lies. Still, as long as you think your wait for a Dentist was shorter, that's the main thing...

I was just correcting your misquote, I wasn't expecting you to like it. So you're saying it was the Tories fault that Blair lied to Parliament about WMD and took us into an illegal war alongside the Republican Bush, causing tens of thousands of deaths and decades of instability in the Middle East? ???? Whilst simultaneously accusing me of shifting the blame? ???? Quite the stretch

Great point, because there were never any problems under a Labour government ????.

Actually I didn't say I was pleased had weakened. What I said was that it had been great for some of us. People like me who earn in Baht and send home to invest in UK property, UK exporters, people involved in tourism etc. Unfortunately the Tories believed Blair about his WMD lies. I also believed him in '97 and voted for him. The war criminal fooled a few of us, but never again will I believe the lies of a labour politician. Given their (lack of) success at the polls, I am not the only one.

The Tories have done OK. Not as well as I would have liked, but not terrible (unless your focus is on a drinks party at number 10) in the torrid circumstances. Infinitely better than the opposition would have done, with their People's vote, Woke ideologies and economic illiteracy. I still haven't forgotten the war crimes committed by Blair last time around, creating decades of instability in the Middle East on the basis of lies about WMD. An illegal war in the middle east or a drinks party? Hmmm, tough choice.

Took about an hour to get my bags after landing at Swampy on Friday night, and mine was one of the first off (apart from the crew's luggage). I didn't see any other baggage carousels in use so it's not like the airport was busy. I wonder if they could take some conscripts away from gardening duty at the General's mansions and get them to help out?

Never mind, the strong Baht and weak Pound has been great for some of us. I guess there always has to be a winner and a loser.

You think the strength of a nation's currency is synonymous with the strength of it's economy? ???? Let me guess, you're annoyed because your pension doesn't go as far these days?

There's no need to start throwing insults around ????. That's the trouble with the left, they just can stop the 'Be Kind' mask slipping when someone disagrees with them. Calling Johnson a slag in your last post, now calling me ignorant, you'd probably fit in well on Labour's front bench. Certainly with Rayner, who is another good example of this seething vitriol from the virtue signallers, and another example of why they have been out of power for over a decade with no light at the end of the electoral tunnel. Oozing malevolence from every pore, they fool no-one ????. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-59081482 Is it any wonder they cannot get votes when their leader cannot define the gender of half of the electorate ????.

It's Covid that destroyed the economy, not Brexit. You might have noticed that pretty much every country has experienced massive economic turmoil since 2020. Maybe Brexit was responsible for the problems in Thailand's economy as well? ????

The trainwreck of a Labour Party will have their chance at the next general election. Who knows, if Stamer can figure out how to define a woman he might even get some votes.

I used to dislike Dianne Abbott. But she's actually doing a really valuable job (along with Lammy, Rayner, Starmer etc.) of ensuring that the loony left are completely unelectable, kept well away from power and hence unable to ruin the country with their Woke tripe ????.

Johnson did what he was elected to do. He honoured the Brexit vote and did what he could with the mess that the Remainer Theresa May left behind. He did pretty well to avoid the EU mess re. the Covid vaccines (although went too far with the lockdowns). But this is one screwup too many. Probably time to go now. Put a fork in him, .... Hopefully whoever replaces him is more in line with true Conservative values and drops the green agenda, stops pandering to the Woke lobby, defunds the biased BBC, amends the NI Protocol, rules out further lockdowns, cuts direct taxation etc.

I suspect this is the beginning of the end for Boris. Unfortunately there is no obvious replacement in the Conservative party and no credible opposition (unless you consider the likes of Starmer, Abbott, Lammy, Rayner to be credible ????). Personally I'd go with Liz Truss or Dominic Raab. Or maybe The Moggster, just for giggles.
