Yes, voters are tiring off the, often, bad tempered exchanges between the Truss and Sunak camps which have gone on endlessly.

Truss will surely be PM on Sept 5, so it will be interesting to see the polls in Oct/Nov. If Labour is still ahead, some of the spotlight will fall on them to show they would be a credible government. The Tories have been in for over 10 years - they may be running out of ideas. Whoever wins the next election, it looks a poison chalice from where we are now.

Truss is nailed on, she's promised to bring back chalky white dog poo.
 
Doctors
Schools
Councils
NHS etc can't cope with the population living there now.
I think you are full enough
Apparently 35 million quid a week is spent housing illegals now

That’ll be because governments have ignored investment in infrastructure and services time and time again, it’s hardly new, but as long as people blame foreigners they’ll continue to do so.

Not blaming all foreigners
Just the illegal ones
What's the number now

think how much more they could waste if it wasnt going on illegals

no where near close to the dodgy contracts, vanity projects but hey each to their own as long as you buy the Farage narrative a small amount of people will get richer off the public purse.
 
Blame foreigners legal or illegals for societies ills and pocket a **** load of cash whilst doing so.
after going through the legal process which includes police checks and medicals i became an immigrant
had i been turned down i would most likely still be living in w14
(more likely dead from alcohol poisoning)
does anyone really have a problem with legal immigrants

I’m more concerned about the politicians getting away with giving contracts worth billions to friends, families and donors. Some of which had no experience in the industry they were given contracts in, some of which didn’t provide the services and equipment yet still got paid, some which provided equipment that wasn’t fit for purpose and some which combines a number of the above.

I’m more concerned about the billions spent on a track and trace system that wasn’t fit for purpose and other nations that have populations that far exceed the U.K.s did for a fraction of the cost, who was that given to?? Oh yes… all the ppe that billions were spent on that ended up in a bonfire, the **** load that were spent on a briefing room that was barely used, the hundred mill that was paid for a paint job on a plane, HS2 ****ups.. **** me the list is endless, including wondering where all the tax goes for the weapons companies pay that provide weapons to the countries that bomb the **** out of their people, the regimes who oppress their people.

if all that was addressed and a whole lot more I might then get upset about those pesky foreigners that seem to top your list.
