General Election soon?

-

Readers would be quite justified in commenting ‘here he goes again – always nagging’!

To put it crudely, I care – about the state of this country, its decline, lawlessnes­s and the quality of politician­s etc – noting that I have no hidden agenda or political ambitions in life.

Indeed, none of the major parties would have me.

I seriously believe that if an election was held now, the Labour Party would win. Very simply, the performanc­e of the Tories has been a disaster, for example needing the Daily Mail charity to achieve a large-scale procuremen­t of PPE because the civil service did not know how to.

We have a disappoint­ing Home Secretary, who having failed to meet her claim to control our borders, has now, in contradict­ion of the PM’s agreement with France, introduced the most stupid border controls which to those with any sense, would use a “testing” option.

She does not fit in the internatio­nal arena.

Our Chancellor for whom I have considerab­le respect, is so ignorant of the clever ways his furloughin­g funding is being consumed by fraud.

I once again express concern about who in our society is going to have to pay the bill.

I have tried to trigger an investigat­ion into one of the most blatant frauds I believe is in place, but these days the likes of the Treasury and HMRC are not interested – just try to get in touch.

My last paragraph sums up a terrifying developmen­t in this country – the isolation of all authority from the public – as practised in Russia and China, e.g. the public must be denied a voice.

In theory we get around that by voting into power MP’s to represent us, but even many of them who do try to represent us, fail.

Summing up, if Boris is to stay as Prime Minister he needs to get a new and competent team around him, continue medical inputs from both sides of any health-related arguments, but get used to the idea that he is supposed to be a manager and make decisions.

An immediate job he has to undertake, concerns the Internatio­nal Trade Secretary Liz Truss (is she employed by the USA or the UK?)

Do not ruin our farmers, our industry, commerce – you name it – in a Trade

Deal with the USA. You obviously have no experience of dealing with them, whereas I have, and worked in the US for a short while. Reg Cliﬞ on, Wokingham
