Who will be PM next.

​

When politics offers stability it offers a platform from which to build. It’s a comfort blanket. It reassures communities as well as markets.

We’ve had a tumultuous time in the UK political scene in the last few years and one of the biggest changes has been the rapid turnover of PM’s and senior ministerial positions. It is a very unhealthy trend. 

I don’t think it’s likely to stop soon. As I write the media are after the Home Secretary - again. “Leaky sue” as she’s been dubbed has been Home Secretary twice in a month! 

In addition the current PM is unlikely to be PM after the next general election - ie in two years time.

There are so very many big topics to address - we know them - the environment, the South East v Everywhere else, the decline of services, Ukraine and Taiwan etc etc etc.

We need sensible Government to be a rock and provide stability.  

Bojo Cannot Come Back Now Can He?

Surely Boris cannot simply jump up from the beach, fly back and within a week stroll into 10 Downing Street can he?

We’ll find out tomorrow.

I mean what on earth is going on in UK politics. More specifically in the Tory party. It is madness.

They are tired, out of ideas and doing nothing more than fighting each other. The end is in sight. 

What will winter bring?

I hope Covid is kept under control. I hope there are no new tricky variants. I hope there are no new lockdowns. I hope that being sensible will suffice alongside a "booster" jab. I worry that other factors will be an issue. I suspect things like flu will be prominent this year. I think the last 18 months has sped up the failings in GP primary care services which is leading to hospital A&E's becoming the first point of care for many. Please can 2022 be a fun year with less of the Covid seriousness and drama.

Covid Times

What a year 2020 was. 2021 better get better and 2022 will be amazing.
