Johnson government achievements debunked

Got Brexit Done = Undermined May’s government for two years, then lied of an oven ready deal to win an election only to implement a poor EU deal that still isn’t sorted. Speak with anyone struggling to export to the Single Market or anyone in Northern Ireland. Don’t even start on the huge freedoms that normal people have lost.

COVID = The government implemented plans identified from the National Risk Register in response to a pandemic including the introduction of furlough (which most countries did). Failed to introduce lock down quick enough or restrict international travel which resulted in many deaths. People I know living in other countries couldn’t believe how slow Britain was.

Vaccine = Definitely fast in the early stages but ended up lagging well behind.

Ukraine = Did what any UK government would have done in the same situation. There can be zero credit for that.

Immigration = Still lots of desperate people from far flung places arriving in boats and in the back of lorries. The shocking Rhwanda policy will be seen in a few years as a massively costly and ineffective exercise.

Any more?
 
Covering the last 12 years, how about

1. Per-pupil spending down 8% since 2010
2. Teen stabbing rates up 93%
3. Front line police numbers down 21,000
4. NHS patient satisfaction at 11 year low of 53%
5. Roughsleeping up 163%
6. Food bank usage up by 1.3m people.
7. 4.1m children in poverty.
8. 100 NHS walk in centres closed
9. 600 police stations closed.
10. 675 libraries closed.
11. 470 schools closed.
12. 50 fire stations closed.
13. 433 HMRC tax offices closed.
14. 100 Job centres closed.

And going to Brexit specifically.

1. There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside (David Davis, 14 July 2016) FALSE
2. The free trade agreement that we will do with the EU should be one of the easiest in human history (Liam Fox, 20 July 2017) FALSE
3. The UK will regain control over our domestic fisheries management rules and access to our waters (Theresa May, 3 March 2017) FALSE
4. We send the EU £350m a week, lets fund our NHS instead (That stupid bus, 2016) FALSE
5. If we vote Leave, we will be able to increase funding to science and still save billions (Vote Leave, 14 June 2016) FALSE
6. There will be no change to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic (MIchael Gove, Boris Johnson, Priti Patel, 1st June 2016) FALSE

More general stuff

1. Junior doctors contracts. Imposing longer working hours.
2. Snoopers charter. Giving government the power to hack your devices and monitor activity. Because of the vague wording, it would allow for the surveilling of any British citizen globally.
3. Scrapping of maintenance grants for the poorest university students.
4. Cuts to PIP payments for the disabled.
5. Boundary reform reducing the number of MP's and presenting a danger to equal representation.
6. Prevent strategy. Discriminates against Muslims disproportionately as an anti-terrorism plan.
7. Trade union crackdowns by criminalising picketing and allowing business to hire strike breaking staff.
8. Making protesting a criminal offence.
9. Sending asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing.
10. Sending infected people back to care homes causing COVID rates to go through the roof.

Corruption Specific

1. Dominic Cummings breaking lockdown protocols.
2. PPE contracts not correctly tendered and awarded to mates.
3. Boris' flat renovation paid for by the taxpayers.
4. Partygate, need we say more.

Just general Tory shittiness

1. Sexism and chauvanism. Claiming Angela Raynor used her legs to distract Boris Johnson.
2. Jacob Rees Mogg leaving passive aggressive notes on people's desks about working from home despite there being increases in COVID infection rates.
3. Dominic Raab grinning his t*ts off while discussing the cost of living crisis.
4. Neil Parish caught watching porn in the HoC.
5. Nadine Dorries, just being Nadine. C4 debacle anyone?

Scandals

1. Raised tuition fees to 9k a year at the same time as cutting public services and introducing pay caps for public sector workers.
2. Spent £1bn bombing Libya which led to increased destabilisation of the country and allowing ISIS to obtain a foothold in the east.
3. Andrew Mitchell and plebgate.
4. Peter Cruddas and his cash for access to the prime minister and chancellor.
5. Benefits cut with the introduction of Universal Credit.
6. MP's expenses.
7. Wrongly deported British citizens as part of the 'hostile environment' policy.
8. Unlawful proroguing of Parliament.

That'll do, writing it out has ***ed me off again.

I understand he was a great party leader, although I think he may have misunderstood that part of his job.

He is still working through another 60 leaving parties, culminating on his own in September. How long before the new incumbent needs to refurbish the flat ?

FFS get a fkn life.
Just over a week to the season kicks off and the usual suspects are running about with their (o(k in their hands at the first chance they get over the government.

Hard to have one with a cost of living crisis and leaders who don't know how to fix or alleviate it.
