    Sunak has no mandate as PM. So by definition 'his' Government hasn't either. It is a ridiculous situation brought about by an antiquated and biased electoral system.
    A Commons majority of 70 ( or whatever it currently is) from an Administration 3 times removed since the last GE is able to pass fundamental, and in many cases, Draconian legislation without recourse to Parliament.
    Banana Republic! Although possibly unfair to bananas!

    This sounds distressingly familiar...



    ...and it's only likely to get worse. If you aren't worried about this, you should be.

    They're doing what they do with every public service: break it, sell it to their mates, profit.
    The armed forces will be next.

    He's right. Particularly about the loss of experienced officers. This started back in 2010/11 under May. She decimated the ranks of officers and the PSO's and other support services and because of the austerity policies which hit social services, more and more responsibility of dealing with mental health issues etc fell (totally inappropriately) on an underfunded and understaffed police service.
    20k reduction over a decade, not including natural wastage. If they start recruiting now it could take a decade at least to get back to anything approaching the levels of knowledge and experience that existed in 2009!

    Rant over.....<laugh>

    So the biggest benefit for Brexit is Northern Ireland being in the Single Market...?

    The main benefit of Brexit for that **** was the cash he got from the New York gold dealer for 3 years to help tank the UK economy by leaving the EU.<doh>
    He's also a feckin' traitor, so should be in prison, not spouting ****!
