Twelve years of 'building new hospitals, putting more police on the streets, creating new rail links, levelling up and now employing more teachers' ... ... a world where everything is the opposite of reality
As you say what happened to Bonko's 50 new hospitals. The UK compares very unfavourable with the main European countries, with beds, nurses and doctors per 1,000 of the population. This was not always the case but has steadily become worse in the past decade. By and large these countries have also a better 'care' system for the elderly. So they do not have the 'bed-blocking' as bad as the UK.
Varied between a new hospital every week, 48 and 40 iirc. Either way it was another of Bonko's terminological inexactitudes.
40, 50, 60 ... what does it matter, just more blatant lies. HS2 ffs, never a chance that would happen. Levelling up, what a joke. And as for the huge benefits of Brexit. Apparently we have endless cyber attacks from China and Russia ... ... they must've just sat around twiddling their thumbs when Boris was in charge.
I have had a pretty good career in IT since leaving school in 1996 and not once have I had to use anything other than basic maths skills in the 26 years I have been working. The highest grade I achieved was a C in GCSE maths. Does anyone really believe that making kids study maths until 18 is going to have any impact whatsoever on the economy? It's complete nonsense. Also does he really think that kids will be willing to do this? Absolutely no chance.
There’s quite a few things kids should be taught in 2023 instead of some subjects they are learning now.
Same as me, grade 5 gcse in 1972, tried a level physics and the maths blew me away, so switched to Geology. 2 years offshore then eventually ended up in financial IT working on banking systems for nigh on 40 years. All the fancy calculations are basically black box routines that rarely need changing, the hard part is making sure that the data going into them is correct. I think being good at maths is a talent, a bit like sport or music so I am not sure compulsory maths over 16 makes much sense, unless they are short practical lessons, for example playing darts to brush up on mental arithmatic. No teachers anyway, though Winchester might have a few to spare.

WTF is going wrong with this country Stalin was branded a monster for airbrushing embarrassing ex--members of his gang. We're doing that and changing 'European soil' to 'British soul' and back when it suits us, is the difference when the mission succeeds or fails, I'm confused ... ... almost as if we're desperate to alienate ourselves from the rest of the world. We'll be putting refugees on planes and unloading them in Africa next. (p.s. Stalin was a monster.)
Apparently Putin is totally to blame for the cost of our electricity .... 'The latest scandal over so-called constraint payments was revealed by Net Zero Watch. The practice – which sees wind farm operators compensated when the grid is overloaded – has cost consumers a staggering £1.15billion since 2010 for Scottish wind farms alone.' https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/uk-news/two-scottish-offshore-wind-farms-28913649.amp
