Sophy Ridge: How many of the 40 hospitals that Boris the Liar promised have been built?

Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick: Some!

Under Buffoon Boris at least the Tories could count up to 40. :lol:

If I were going to get involved in this market I'd be inclined to lay Labour. The Tories have fucked up the country as much as they possibly can. Any further ministerial cock-ups or MPs caught law-breaking or disgracing themselves in any other way would just be considered the norm and barely affect the market. The onus now is on Starmer not putting a foot wrong and his MPs to keep in line.

Imagine how far ahead Labour would be if they had a leader with some charisma

I'd rather have a leader without any charisma who just gets the job done. Charisma, apparently, is what got the buffoon elected!

You can see what a difference it makes when you have both, Jacinda Arderne shock resignation today saw National shorten right up, With out her Labour Has zero chance, National will win the NZL election in a hand canter now.

Will be interesting to see her reason, two that spring to mind, she is preggers again or has scored a high profile job in the UN

She looked tired end of last year, She has had it rough, the mass shooting in Christchurch followed later in that year with White Island followed up by covid and that's a lot to deal with.

But she has seen the writing on the wall, her popularity is plummeting, economy in a mess, crime out of control to mention just a few

Even the Deputy PM doesn't want the job, Take the 1.30 no greening required

History will not be kind to her.....she's a walking woke disaster

For me she started well and including lockdown, that saved 10000's of lives no question. After lockdown it's print money, spend spend and spend more. Now with inflation rampant crime on the rise health care neglect she has seen a huge hole she has dug and has no plan to get us out. Coupled with the fact that the Deputy PM (also Finance Minister) doesn't want the job confirms to me there is no plan, except maybe spend more.

If the election wasn't so far away I would take any money over 1.30 for National, they win even if Luxton gets caught shagging a chicken :lol:

I think she was always going to catch the covid backlash (which is - it cost a lot, now we all have to pay), so she jumped before being pushed.
Personally, I liked her approach to covid, but I guess NZ is one of the best able to implement that closed border strategy.
My sister is not a woke fan but is a big fan of Ardern and is miffed to say the least.
I think we need more women leading nations. The male strategy of stroke my ego or die is pretty lame now.

I'm not known for defending a Tory but if the police are going to fine Sunak for not wearing a seat belt they could just as easily get a team of detectives to sieve through every YouTube video posted looking for law-breakers. They've got rapists in their mists that they need to root out and suddenly investigating Sunak seems a priority.

That said though, what a tit. He should know if the film's made public he's gonna be scrutinised. :lol:

Another fine for Sunak to go alongside his Covid fine. Both fines a bit harsh I think, hopefully they'll let him pay in instalments to ease the impact. :D

Sorry, my mistake. It wasn't the PM that got the fixed penalty notice. Police issued it to a 42-year-old man. :lol: :lol:
