Even if Truss goes, we are still lumbered with the mediocrity and damage being done to the U.K.

It has gradually got worse and worse since 2010, until we’ve got to this state.

Yes me too Whitewave. The sooner we get rid of these bloody Tories the better! We must be a laughing stock on the world stage atm. One of the richest countries and we've got people starving. It's an absolute disgrace.

Well said Whitewave. Its like watching episode after episode of East Enders.

Now the government has asked departments to cut and yet day by day more and more reports emerge of struggles to get health and care help. Yes they say we will tackle x, y, z but they are to cut. Disgusted.

Despite the upheaval that will occur, I'm desperate for a GE and Starmer in power. Yes they have a mammoth task. Yes the are far from perfect.

But they have their values in the right place. People first. Spot on doing what we can, I can't be very active, but we need to bring back the culture of caring for those around us. (well done lixy

This is on the BBC site - what the world is saying. They don't seem surprised.

I decided during the Johnson fiasco that I would concentrate on helping locally and not worry about the bigger picture as I couldn't do anything about it. So litter-picking in the park, local gardening and volunteering have helped me stay positive.

Meanwhile a UN Rapporteur has criticised the government for doing nothing for the poor, and millions of families are struggling to survive the months ahead, many becoming homeless and children hungry.

I could weep.
