So, if you don't like Boris......

I really believe that the government should have formed a coalition to deal with covid. There is no place for party politics in a crisis.

Keir Starmer offered, again and again. Even now, when he has a chance to use the opportunity to destroy Johnson- he is choosing to do the right thing, the honest thing, first, for the sake of the common good.

Sabotaged by the Press - really. For once, he is doing a brilliant job of it, all by himself, like the little red hen!!!!

Yes, some people broke the rules- but they were not the ones to have made them. A bit different no?

I'm with Boris he's being sabotaged by the press. Tbh I think many people broke lockdown rules last year from all political parties and the general public too. He's doing a very difficult job in very difficult times.
I'll bet if one of the other parties wins a general election the press will hound them too and uncover several rules being broken

None of the present bunch.Would not waste my shoe leather voting at all!

It's a pity that Bessie Braddock is no longer with us. She would knock a few heads together! A forthright and formidable woman with her roots in working-class Liverpool.

Could we perhaps persuade Jacinda Ardern to come here?

She's not that popular with everyone in NZ so she might!

Nigel Farage seems to have his head screwed on
Backwards?

In a very weird place, certainly, as he always seems to be talking out of his bottom...

Boris is the best of a bad bunch.

I love your sense of humour, Gillycats

Boris is the best of a bad bunch. There is no alternative. Labour are in turmoil and can’t do anything other than criticise the Tories. Where’s there policies? Why aren’t they dealing with anti Semitic issues within the party? We’re Labour voters normally but will vote Conservative until Labour overhaul their shambles. And that seems impossible for them to deal with currently.

Nigel Farage seems to have his head screwed on and all he has to do is join the tory party

Please no

And the one that presided over operation Cygnus, too….

Jeremy Hunt?

This Jeremy Hunt?

Jeremy Hunt co-authored book calling for NHS to be replaced with private insurance

That's the point though.

She doesn't control them.

She leads them.

I’d like to see how she controls 66 million ( and counting ?) people as apposed to controlling a population less than the size of London. Good luck with that one.

Tugenhat at a pinch or Mercer I suppose, but realistically given the immediate problems, Jeremy Hunt has to be the best qualified candidate, even it is only a short term solution to get us towards a safer, more robust NHS.

it was insulting.

Said it before - Jacinta Ardern: a great leader, and a down to earth woman . NZ population is tiny, so she could lead them via Zoom, or set up PCC to lookafter them .

And if was insulting the first time you said it too.

Let's hope for someone with integrity and honesty!

Why integrity and honesty is important?

It is perhaps the most important principle of leadership and dependent on integrity because it demands truthfulness and honesty. ... Integrity means telling the truth even if the truth is ugly. Better to be honest than to delude others, because then you are probably deluding yourself, too.

I personally want to see Pritti Patel as leader of the Conservative party. She would be the hammer to nail the coffin on the party for at least two possibly three terms.

The whole bunch are a disaster!

All Richi has done so far is hand out money which is pretty easy. I wonder how he will behave when he has to get really tough and start clawing it
back with much higher taxes etc .

Can you explain why he has to 'claw it back'?

Where do you think the money has come from?

Going very slightly off topic; why do people praise Sunak for furlough pay? What the hell else could any chancellor of any persuasion done? Let people run out of money/have their homes repossessed/starve/smash their way into supermarkets to feed their families? There was no alternative, if the lockdown was to work, and people praising him for his supposed generosity are missing the point. Sunak is charming, smart and smiling, but don't be deceived, he will deliver tax cuts to his buddies and slash state spending, and will use his 'generosity' with furlough pay and the costs of covid19 as an excuse.
