Yes of course, best of a bad bunch, but why are we the public, still accepting a bad bunch?

We haven't had an opportunity in recent years to do anything about it.

Unfortunately we don't get a say in who Boris appoints & he's made it very clear that he isn't too fussy.
Doubt he'll be left with many choices soon.

When is the next election due?

They all fail upwards when you have a twat of a prime minister.

I've just listened to the new Chancellor trying to defend his position on the PM's lying. It was very uncomfortable

In his shoes, having initially thought it was a price worth paying to get the job, I'd be handing in my notice now the reality was dawning, but I suspect that's not going to happen.
