Well yes, sounds decent, but its only undoing the stupidness so far!

As usual, am willing to give him a chance, just not overly optimistic tbh..especially with his main concern appearing to be tax cuts for the rich and no deal brexit

Only bc the police cuts under conservatives have been a disaster

It's only taking them back to where they were in 2010.
However to sustain it and grow it, more funding will be needed for not just the next 3 years but up to a decade on.
He hasn't said anything as to that.

It's easy to say this will be done but all this lot have done for the last 9 years + is cut, cut cut.

Taking things just back to where they were, should only be the start..

It's better to be starting to reverse the drastic cuts this government has made.
However.
If he purses his combative, sounding more uncompromising than Mrs May re the EU.
Then goes for that no deal brexit.
He may have little to no funding to do very much at all.

Glad to see the Tories have jumped into a great lead in the polls over Commie and his mob since Boris took over

That's her private view.
In her job its not a problem

[Oliver_W]

Dorres sounds okay. Her nursing background means she actually knows what she's talking about when it comes to working in the NHS, and didn't she start a kids' charity?

Dorres can believe what she likes, it should not interfere with her job, and I don't believe it will. And yes, her nursing background is a big plus. Like they've chosen an ex-soldier for Defence. I think a lot of thought has been put into the choices that have been made.

Not that wet blanket
He will be resigning over something on principle only to unresign on the sly a moment later

Boris = King of cementing the Union of the Kingdom.

Boris encapsulates everything that typical Scots despise in the English, so it should be an interesting visit
