It was the Conservatives who nationalised some parts of the railways at great expense due to the errors of failing Grayling. With regards broadband they are now suggesting the extension to all homes much like they ridiculed when Labour proposed the same.
With regards the influence of the private sector the much admired Dido of the test, track and trace failures who came from this sector is not the best example especially when the shares at TalkTalk increased when she left. I presume her experience as a Tory peer and married to a Tory MP means she is an ideal candidate to temporarily run the new NHS organisation.
It is agreed that to enter lockdown early would have reduced the number of deaths and the time the restrictions applied so not sure why this would be different under a Labour government.
Who was it that appointed an IRA supporter to the lords Corbyn or Johnson.

Still a Labour led administration ,with a couple of bones thrown to LD and Independent.
But i suppose we can now also add LD to list of parties that have party to the debacle.

Neither

Its was The Lords Appointment Commission.

Tories nationalised on a short term basis - never meant to be in public ownership long term as you know. Who is suggesting the government own the broadband network - nobody in the government.

I agree re. Dido - inappropriate

Re lockdown - Johnson's hesitance was all around not trashing the economy - Labour would have had no such quarms - as you well know

Not sure about the IRA supporter?

It was one of Johnson’s Brexit awards Claire Fox.

"Johnsons hesitance" is what Johnson does.
He's quick with his 3 word mantras (actually given by Cummings) but, he's not quick of the mark on anything.
Any leader worth their salt would have knocked some heads together or, jettisoned their failing Minister and got on with sorting out the mess.
Bojo prefers to keep well away and avoid having to make any awkward decisions.

Even with the decision to accept the teacher predictions, there are still kids who will miss out on their choice of Uni, due to the places having been shared out, based on the downgraded results.

Anyone remember the Tory promise to "level up", they were having a bloody laugh.

Wrong. Claire Fox was nominated by the government. The Appointment Commitee rubber stamps those nominations and also has the power to nominate any cross bench appointments.

Maybe it was Cummings idea.
That's the trouble with our media, even when you're looking for specific facts it's all smoke and mirrors. Without the facts we dont have a democracy.

Wouldn't disagree,its like trying to finish a puzzle but some of the pieces are missing.

What makes Johnson angry, the school exams fiasco, Cummins eye test, test track and trace, the number of unnecessary deaths no it is because he has to cancel his holiday because his location became public. It didn’t help by trespassing on a farmer’s field by using the cottage furniture to climb over a fence.
I guess he now knows what all those holidaymakers feel who had to dash back to the U.K. at great expense because of the sudden application of quarantine or those who can’t go at all because they are not insured due to the essential travel definition.

you must be running low on Werthers... should I start a go fund me to buy you more?

a hate filled individual if ever there was.

Mr Johnson is entitled to a family life, he has a new son and a beautiful partner, an education and lots of money in the bank, things you can only dream of ever achieving.

You've got some boot polish on your chin.
