    I haven't noticed any radical changes to my everyday life than I had under Labour before them so I don't know. Other than this fiasco I can't answer you. I don't know what else I can do other than agree with the majority of posters on here.

    That's not me back tracking but I don't go through every policy with a fine toothcomb.

    I've said why I voted Conservative and sincerely agree with Labour voters as I have the same grievences but I don't have a time machine or crystal ball.

    Furlough scheme is good. Making UC slightly less hostile was good. Support for some Some businesses is good.

    The lockdown although late was the right choice.

    I personally think the coopting of 3rd nursing stewards into paid employment rather than unpaid placement was a good call.

    PPE is a difficult one. It’s entirely the tories fault that the NHS was exposed but I do believe they have tried hard to rectify this.

    the initial plan to test trace and isolate was absolutely right. Unfortunately this swamped the system and was abandoned which was a critical mistake. So half and half there.

    It’s unprecedented challenges in an unprecedented situation. On balance I would say they have performed badly. The things that attract people to Johnson the afffabiliy the lazy charm are just the wrong skill set for this. He and his Govts are not details people. They are broad strokes and slogans people.

    Still it would be hard even for someone as obsessional and details driven as Gordon Brown but I do think due to his personality traits and to a lesser extent someone like May would have dealt with things better

    Out of 10 I would say 4 is fair.

    Think we should re-name this board the "Boris Bashing Site" until all this is over. :D

    Can't wait for Barnsley to start playing again....... Then we can all slate and abuse each other about opinions on how bad/good some of our players are.

    Well Boris achieved 2 out of those 3

    The one thing that stands out for me was the building of a 4,000 bed hospital in 9 days, turned out that we couldn't staff it but credit the huge effort in making it happen in such a short time.
    See? It CAN be done if the government wills it!

    Trouble is he'll probably count these Nightingales in the 40 they promised to build.

    we converted some had lads working overnight to get them ready. Building hospitals with absolutely no staff to work In them was beyond stupid.
