What has been tugging my nuts for the last four -ish years, is we have a government so out of its depth , in terms of expertise and leadership, that has caused a massive drop in living standards , is still capable of jobs-for-the-boys and tax evasion and pillaging of COVID contracts is still in with a fighting chance at the next general election due to a complete absence of any viable opposition

I disengage, I turn the page.

I think I'm on the same page.

Oh for the days when peasantry such as myself were not privy to information and could therefore blindly follow politicians and parties that may have actually stood for something!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Probably a bit busy trying to keep the whole thing running whilst hugely under-resourced. Was this before or after the Government put in a whole £1m to target recovery of NHS charges?

You can see why there is a lack of bandwidth to do such things if you read information from the Kings Trust:

According to the Office for National Statistics, the proportion of managers in the UK workforce as a whole in June 2010 was 15.4 per cent. These statistics also show that there were 77,000 hospital and health service managers across the United Kingdom, or 4.8 per cent of the NHS workforce. In other words, the NHS has a managerial workforce that is one-third the size of that across the economy as a whole.

While the number of NHS managers has grown in England since 1997, figures for the other three countries of the United Kingdom are static or falling. There may be a range of reasons for this, but since 1997 England has seen a plethora of policy initiatives that have increased the requirement both for management and administration. These include targets for waiting times; new regulators; published measures of hospital and PCT performance; expensive staff and patient surveys and more extensive contracting out of a wider range of support services than in Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales.

I agree about the Government but “unfortunates” on a plane!, Really! Albanians are not asylum seekers, even WE has said this. Maybe if we had put the unfortunate Afghan “minor” on a plane, an innocent Brit would not be dead

I'm really looking forward to all our problems being immediately fixed under Labour.

I'm sure allowing thousands of illegal immigrants to stay here and promising spending that can only mean higher taxation or even more borrowing is exactly what this country needs.

Starmer talking complete b****x about making brexit work.

I think we had better face it, this decade is another write-off.
