75.....?? That's insane.
People are living longer these days...but not THAT much longer.
I'll bet that would mean that at least 50% of people would not make it to a govt. pension.
That's their plan..... (bandit)

While ensuring that all current MP's have retired in time to get their state pension.

And this is the twat in charge on his holiday. Seriously how did this lump of shite get elected?

Apparently the Treasury, including Sunak, are starting to be at odds with Johnson as they are telling him he will need to raise taxes very quickly to pay for the fall out.

Unrest is brewing.
A cross-party group of MPs is threatening to sue Boris Johnson unless he orders an independent investigation into Russian interference in recent UK elections and the 2016 Brexit vote.

The MPs say the government’s refusal to investigate Kremlin meddling is a breach of the European convention on human rights, which enshrines the right to free elections in protocol 1.

They managed to go from (good luck getting surgery in 2021) to inviting me for surgery in less than 4 weeks. Their backlog doesn't seem to be that major in my own experience.

Cummings father in law has told the Mail he expects Johnson to quit within six months as he is unable to cope with the job.

My guess is there will soon be moves within the Tory party to remove him from office very quickly.

Loads of rumours about his private life too.

That was always his plan I reckon. Be PM so he has it on his CV, be the PM who took Britain out of the EU so you have a story to tell, and make a pile of cash from a book and fleecing the Treasury.

Do a runner to another Country.....probably for your own safety.

I think many senior Tories want him out too.

Was/is Brexit not so contentious an issue that it was always going to end up with him leaving, one way or another??

I'd actually be fine with that. She seems reasonable.
