To hope Johnson doesn't resign?

[LonelyPlanetGirI]

Because if he clings on until the next GE, he'll be completely unelectable and we'll be rid of the Tories.

I'm hoping he digs his heels in just like he always has, even though by rights he should be fucking off with his tail between his legs.

Please do link. You have seen the stats, ie facts above?

This is rubbish. Whatever else went wrong in the Blair years, the NHS improved massively. The stats are out there.

The reason that the UK suffered so badly was that Labour, believing that they had “done away with boom and bust” had not driven down the deficit while the economy was doing well.

hospital crisis and in particular maternity ward's were in the media nearly every day . . .people were genuinely frightend to end up in either of them and tales of absolute horror from people that did.

Thank heavens things are so much different now. Now, you can't actually get into a hospital, not for love, nor money, nor an ambulance. . .

claudine Labour spent money we didn’t have and got the country into massive debt!!

@Blossomtoes

I must apologise,I misread a quote and attributed the "cloud Cuckoo" remark to you.

No problem 😉

In 2005 the UK National Debt was less that £0.5 trillion. But then came the worldwide financial crisis of 2008 and subsequent recession. The National Debt increased rapidly and went over £1 trillion in 2011 and over £1.5 trillion in 2016. At the end of March 2022 the National Debt was £2.33 trillion.
In terms of Gross Domestic Product the UK National Debt in 2005 was about 38 percent of GDP.

But in the last ten years, in the wake of the Crash of 2008 and subsequent recession, the National Debt has doubled to over 80 percent GDP, but is leveling out as a percent of GDP. At the end of March 2022 the National Debt was 98.6 percent of GDP.

You couldn't back in 2006 either. They literally closed their doors and turned away women in labour.

Claudine I disagree.

Brexit isn't done, not by a long shot.

The tories say brexit is done when they think it suits them and they also say brexit isn't done (Northern Ireland) when they think it suits them.

Schrodinger's Brexit.

This just shows that political parties are now dead and buried and what matters now are the brexit divisions coming into play. It’s a cross party spilt we are witnessing now

No it isn't. Lots of brexit supporting MPs also want him gone. It's one of the few things that's turning into a Commons consensus.

Pathetic.

Still happening, sadly.

David Davis? Andrew Bridgen? Steve Baker? Rishi Sunak?

Steve Baker MP is one of the ERG and he told him to go months ago.
I don't think he has resigned though.

How's the national debt under this government?

Reports coming in that Gove has personally told johnson to go, so that's another senior resignation if it doesn't happen.

Basically lots count of other resignations/calls to resign.

*lost count

@ChristinaXYZ, they will not elect Penny Mordaunt to rein her in. They'll let her do whatever if they think she will win them an election. The Tory party doesn't give a shiny shit about women.

You may also want to check with the candidate you vote for to make sure that they aren't planning on becoming trans once they get a seat.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear, I meant to say the anti Johnson faction is not split Leave/Remain, it covers all areas now.

Tough.

My vote will count just as much as yours.

But there would have been no complaints about parties
