Still, at least he has sorted out social care "Johnson was unable to explain to Walker why he was taking so long to publish his plan when he claimed in July last year, on the day be became PM, to already had a plan. In his first speech from No 10 Johnson said: “I am announcing now — on the steps of Downing Street — that we will fix the crisis in social care once and for all with a clear plan we have prepared to give every older person the dignity and security they deserve.” and any changes would not come into effect until 2025 at the earliest - so there was not 'a plan' last July, just as there is no plan for any trade deal outside of the EU, just waffle, bluster and lies. | | | | |

Biggest vote and majority of people voting for them aren't the same thing, so you've again refuted your own post by showing you don't know what majority means. You are aware that intelligent, capable humans can both lead a successful life and hold the PM to account right? It's not an either/or situation. I've not had to give up on my hopes and dreams so I can criticise the PM on social media. | |

"We have to get on with it". No, we don't have to get on with it. That logic is why we are where we are now with our worst ever government implementing (and screwing up even worse) one of our worst ever political, economic and social strategies. | |

The tories got the biggest vote out of all the parties. Therefore they had the biggest majority to govern. Couldnt be more clear. What planet are you on? Clearly the same one as Corbyn and his hippy cronies. Stop getting so upset over it. Boris won by a country mile. Its life, live it man. Enjoy it. Dont be so hurt all the time | | | |

You're making yourself look a bit silly here. No one's disputing that the tories got a parliamentary majority, that's not the same thing as the majority of people having voted for them, which they didn't. What you said earlier was patently and demonstrably untrue, you should really stop doubling down on it. | | | |

I don't get why you'd want to start an arguement about holding a politian accountable. Boris won, it doesn't mean his job is done. Now he has to govern and work for the good of the UK. Has he kept to all his pledges? Has he gone back on anything he said in the lead up to him winning the PM seat? instead of trying to frustrate and antagonise people, why don't you enter the debate with reasonable comments such as how you're holding him to account... how what he's doing is meeting your expectations... etc... | |

The reason they want a 'cross party alliance' is that many solutions are too political - higher tax, death tax, inheritance tax, mandatory insurance etc If people are interested then there's a very good analysis of the various options for funding social care by the Nuffield Trust here https://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/chart/social-care-funding-options | | | |

You started a thread the other day about RLB's alleged lies, why are you ok with the actual PM being so economical with the truth? It's just like a game of football for you isn't it? The blue team can do what they like. BJ's mandate, and the nature of his victory, should make us all the more determined to hold him to account for his promises, not give him a free pass. | | | |

Boris literally said they have a “clear plan we have prepared to give every older person the dignity and security they deserve”. Are you now saying that 'clear plan' is just to start a cross party approach?? That's stretching credulity surely, even for a dyed in the wool tory? | | | |

Reality was always going to come crashing up against the lies and the disingenuous electioneering at some point. It'll be strangely, addictively morbid watching it all fall to bits. [Post edited 14 Jan 2020 15:43]

Big up to you Jonty for trying to introduce a debate about issues that matter rather than the to and fro' bitchfest this thread has descended into. Social Care problems and government funded pensions are never going away and needed addressing years ago. It is time for some really unpopular decisions to be made. The reason that this can keeps getting kicked down the road is because any government who takes it seriously and does something about it will be extremely unpopular - it's a vote loser. | |

you've not understood my post. I've asked a question. If BJ said he had a plan then could that be starting a cross party approach which would lead to the outcome all want? I like the idea of cross party cooperation providing it's done in the correct spirit. Something as important as this deserves a cross party approach. It does seem that even though BJ has opened the tent on this some will still not be happy. Am puzzled by that tbh. What else can he do? You're in the tent, make use of it and stop complaining. No? | |
