    How has a small foreign company like that got a contract ahead of others? Follow the names and you’ll find out why.

    Regarding Two tier kier. He’s either dishonest or incompetent

    So you are now calling him two tier Kier. And instead of coming up with examples of lies you're making two other unfounded allegations.
    What two tiers are you talking about?

    The reason small companies get contracts is that start ups are often innovative. The company seems to have four NHS contracts at four different Trusts. It's most likely that it has been properly set up to comply with UK public procurement rules and then provided the best offer in the contract process. It is not a foreign company so it is perfectly entitled to try to get NHS contracts and the public procurement rules will require a parent company guarantee and they will have looked at all the Directors and the owners. If they can't find a reason to disqualify them they have to go with the lowest cost proposal.

    He has been in power for 100 days. I will judge him on a full term.

    I’m sure he will break many more promises before his time is up.

    He hasn't broken any until he has had time to implement them. Every Labour leader who has won an election has had to dilute their programme to get elected. The others literally achieved nothing.

    You don’t honestly believe that. He lies just as much as Boris.

    How many kids has Boris got?
    What did he discuss with ex-KGB and current oligarch Alexander Lebedev at his party, after losing his security detail?

    When was this 'promise' made? Are prices higher or lower than then?

    That's from 2022 and the prices came down. You didn't even read the link, did you?

    Are prices higher now than when he became PM? YES

    Has he done anything productive in reducing the number of boat people coming over? NO

    Has he managed to alienate pensioners? YES

    Always hard to prove a negative but you have not even responded to my challenge to name a lie he has told since becoming prime minister.

    1) So what. If prices are lower than at the point he said they should be frozen then he has not been dishonest in not freezing them.
    2) How do you know the medium term effects of the boat policy? Channel boat crossings are a consequence of Brexit and quite hard to solve but any change won't be immediate. None of the Tory policies worked at all.
    3) Pensioners have been treated better than any other sector of the population for years with the Triple Lock and winter fuel allowance. The new policy has had the effect of moving more than £1b to the very poorest pensioners by virtue of the publicity encouraging them to apply for pension credit. This is funded by money taken from richer pensioners, nearly half of whom are millionaires. The people just above the pension credit limit are the only people who are really hit by the policy. I hope they will correct that but this policy is not as bad as it is portrayed. I speak as one of the richer pensioners who was against this payment ever being introduced.
