Yep and it shows, failed to live up to the hype. There were strikes almost from day one, sounds like a good nationalised workplace, and when they introduced charges after 3 years in direct contravention of it big selling point on free healthcare for all, Bevan resigned.
Now just like the public sector in general too many chiefs getting paid too highly and doing too little.
Heathen 
Butā¦that is EXACTLY why he gained so much support.
Those Americans beaten down by āthe systemā saw someone who wasnāt part of the establishment nor part of the institution as a saviour to rock the boat, stir things up and change how politics worked for them on a personal level
My American Trumpist friends are still saying āWait and see what is going to happenā and here we are Biden and Harris were sworn in when according to my American friends, they were going to be brought down along with the rest of the corrupt senators blah blah blah.
Iāve told them no matter what, Biden is their President and nothing is going to happen so they need to chill with their conspiracy thoughts. As far as I see it, yes he is old but he isnāt insane. So far Iāve heard his speeches and Iām happy with him so far. Iām looking forward to the Country being reunited instead of itās current state of divide.
How long we stuck with Boris? 2024 
is that right?
There is no way heāll last that long, once Covid is behind us (March 22) heāll stand down from the leadership and Rishi will have 2 years to win votes ahead of the election.
I donāt see that happening anything soon, the Trump Cult is still strong, if the Republicans are clever they will find him guilty in the senate, otherwise they will have to seriously consider nominating him in 2024 or risk splitting the party.
I seriously doubt that, current Westminster Voting intentions (11th Jan) still have the Conservatives ahead, although Rishi has a much better personal approval rating than either Boris or Starmer. Iād he goes it will be 12 months out although I would put money on him fighting the election. (As long as he thinks he can win, which he can).
Once heās fully delivered the vaccine, having already delivered a Brexit deal heāll be gone. If not for Covid I reckon heād be announcing his resignation about now
I think he will stay long enough to keep mugging off the SNP so that itās not a Political Issue for his successor āsorry too late to discuss it maybe next Parliamentā
Oh and Mugging off the SNP makes me happy so this isnāt off topic.

I didnāt say it was a good dealā¦
everytime I see the word deal I force myself to laugh just so I donāt break down in floods of tears
Yeahā¦
But just wait until he has to actually do some real Chancellot of the Exchequer work and start clawing all that free money back.
His popularity will sink faster than a stone.

This universal credit thing probably wonāt be playing very well for him, or the reputed reform of worker rights.
The way things are playing out the bad news seems to all be getting blamed on Boris while Rishi gets all the credit for the free stuff.
As long as he can keep a personal rating of 10% or higher it will be more than both the party leaders!
What makes be happy, seeing this guy actually get a decent fine in court. Still could have been higher imo
Decent fine, maybe 4k would hit you or I quite badly but on 375k a year and over a million in his slush fund itās probably less than a days interest/profits on his investments
interestingly, it seems he wasnāt fined for covid breaches, but for aviation ones
It will be based upon his weekly income.

Iām not sure that people are that naive to think that at some point the pay back will have to come. If they are then God help us. Govts canāt keep shelling money out like they have for the past nearly 12 months, to shore up people and economies and not have to recoup itā¦ This is global not just in the UK.
The left wing and their media will get incoherent about the wealthy (what ever and who ever they are) having to pay more. But we will all pay.
