Johnson is dithering and a danger to us all.

[William Treseder]

I really don't understand what people want out of life? Boris is struggling at the moment because he's got to implement policies based on caring for the most vulnerable and helping out those poor people who are exploited by big business (his mates) There's no financial reward to be had for investing in the poor and it's killing him. People need to take a good hard look at themselves during this awful period and maybe ask themselves what's important to them and for the people that they love and care for. Hopefully the message gets through that good services and a government that cares for it's people that doesn't allow exploitation of the weakest is more important than some of their perceived views on how society should be and their sub conscious thoughts on how and what a leader should look and sound like. NHS staff in meltdown, workers worried where their next pay check is coming from and charlatan business owners thinking that they have zero responsibility towards their workforce. That's what plenty of idiots voted for.

You speak a lot of sense in your posts on this subject, but a question for you.
If the minority hold the wealth in the UK, and the majority are the poorest, then how did Labour, ever lose control of power?

Because enough people are easily persuaded to vote against their own interests. There would never be a Tory government otherwise.

Perhaps they are all "Ragged Trousered Philanthropists"

It's like that cartoon that was doing the rounds before the election where there was two foxes reading a newspaper with the headline "Tories to bring back fox hunting" and one fox says to the other. "I'll vote for him because I don't like the other fella" or words to that effect.

Because Labour have pushed and implemented right Wing policy since the days of Blair, The damage was done, Working class areas have been let down for decades by the Labour party, industry and real jobs gone and not replaced, zero opportunity for people, shitty jobs in the gig economy and third generation out of work and naturalized towards a life on benefits, social poverty is the biggest problem, a huge swathe of people from proud communities demotivated, depressed and without much hope. Then the Brexit thing came along where the only people left to hold account for these peoples plight was foreign labour-Because the politicians and law makers sat back and did nothing.

When people are desperate they do stupid things, when there's nobody else left to argue with or communicate with then bad decisions are made. That's what has happened in alot of our neglected communities, there was nothing left the kick apart from the neighbours dog. Labour have been instrumental in the destruction of these areas as well. I reckon that Corbyn would've backed these people and understood their problems. Sadly, because of a right wing media, celebrity politics and still an element of post colonial fallout it seems that people in this country can't get over the idea that we have to look after our most vulnerable and improve from the bottom up.

And ask yourself why the labour got the worst election result since the 1930’s
