What happened to the Boris and Tory mania?

After a mammoth landslide general election win in 2019, Brexit delivered in 2020 and huge council gains in 2021 the Tory juggernaut was roaring on. Boris Johnson was political dynamite and could do no wrong.

Yet a few months later and there seems to be many dragging him down. It started with delaying the reopening by a month in June (which was sensible) and now he's got everyone on his back for raising taxes to pay for social care (it has to be funded somehow).

Why won't people get back behind the government during what's a national crisis with the pandemic? He is doing his best.Not like Labour have anything to offer.

A few worldwide leaders have fair well during the pandemic. I know the options are worst with Labour but decided I will leave either before the next elections or right after. Taxes are very high for our family and we get nothing much in return. We need to pay for everything going private. My area have down to the pits. I can see this is going downhill very quickly so time to move on.

A lot of people voted Boris because he wasn't Jeremy Corbin, not because they wanted him. Frankly it was the lesser of two evils, as we currently have the worst crop (of all sides) we've ever had the misfortune to be governed by.
Thoroughly depressing

GrinGrinGrin thanks Carrie, we all need a laugh to start our day. I see you're redecorating again, so no plans to move yet? Events may overtake you.
