we've lost months of productivity but if each of us ramp up the intensity on developing our country, have no fear we will bounce back!!

Legalisation of cannabis would help. Stupid government not realising the benefit of legalisation of Cannabis would do.

Boris 2 hours late this morning after re-reading Wilfred's 'Ladybird Book of President FD Roosevelt's Greatest Covid 19 Solutions'...

Was the background set handpicked to illustrate the mediocrity of the whole approach.

As a foreign student living in London, I hope what Boris said could come true. My friends and I are always thinking there is only one city in UK which is the London, and all other places are just like countryside. It is the time to change this situation, and I believe what Boris wants to do, will change it. UK politicians should learn from Boris, they should not only invest in London so that they can make the data looks better in short term, they should also care about the rest of this country, to boost the whole UK economy not just London.

Winston Churchill will go down in history with likes of Alexandra the great, Boris Johnson will go down in history with likes of Crusty the clown

Here we go cliche and catchphrase bingo-Northern powerhouse, levelling up, turbocharge, our N.H.S. Repeat catchphrase 3 for emphasis.Wave arms about bang on podium for effect .Segway into incomprehensible rambling job done.

The most important part of The Speech was the cutting Red Tape part. In order to speed up various things. The levels of Red Tape in this Country is ridiculous! Many Governments have promised to do this but have failed. Let's hope Boris and Rishi can actually make it happen. Leaving the EU will also help with some of this.

Where’s all this money coming from the bbc is awash with money is that where he is borrowing it from

You need to open everything up Boris, survival of the fittest I am 80 and have been out meeting people I am still alive

[beverleyrollings]

I'm trying to make a change with my live, I feel I'm not getting no support and not getting a chance, so it feels no way out for me, and I have many talents, I have health issues and I am stuck in a little room a with mold, I've tried to get support with council, no help, I need help Boris, I had a stroke, and doctors have stated abuse, pain stress, I can't trust certain people anymore, if I'm not settle, I feel no way out

The DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL. Wait for the "small print"- the minutiae! Keep a steady eye on little doris.

Psalm 46:10 for Boris Johnson at this moment in time ( HE keeps running but GOD will halt him for another purpose that will be Godly) meaning of his non running dream

[TheSebiestor]

interesting, comments are not disabled. yet any other uploads regarding Leicester from MSM and the comments are disabled ..hmm i do wonder why

[johndavies]

Johnson is talking of a 'massive' five billion pounds to rebuild Britain. That's enough to build just three miles of motorway. Germany invests 4% of GDP. We'd be investing just 0.2% of GDP...
'BUILD BUILD BUILD'? BILGE BILGE BILGE!

[thomasfab]

BUILD BUILD BUILD
GO WORK
AND EDUCATE!!!

[blooskys]

Boris needs to get up and stop sleeping. This speach was frankly embarrising.
We welcome the extra 120 million for the severely disabled and blind from the 300 m given to the local authorities.
We welcome the speeding up of the Disability enforcement Act 2020 as a consolidation of both EU legislation and extra powers given to the police after the austerity protests for people who beat up blind children and adults.
We welcome 10 % quotas for severely disabled and blind for every government contract employing 10% of severely disabled and blind in the work place.
We welcome the chancellers announcement the severely disabled and blind will now receive PPE lock down payments this commoing week.
We welcome the restoration of legally required incomes to this group of 2.75 million and compensation required by the intervention of the UN.
We welcome that blind people for the first time will be allowed ring fenced personal blind trusts as ISAS and shares.Ability to have a pension and actually have access to justice. To date Judges have refused access to the courts on the grounds of disability.
We welcome the closure of the failed Equality and Human Rights commission as its become a political organisation funded by the taxpayer. It wioll be renamed and return to its purpose as The Disability and Human Rights Commission.
We welcome recommendations by the RICS schemes to put solar panels on severely disabled blind and the houses of the over eighties to create new green jobs.
In addition the removal of utility standing charges for all utilities as part of the green agenda which has been used to make the low user subsidise the high user.

The public wants a royal commission into Dominic Cummings in government. Cummings must explain his boasts to the public that in the absense of electorial officials HE TOOK political decisions as an unelected representative on government business. The commission must explore whether these decisions were bias or discriminatory against the ongoing problems with the genocide of the blind and severely disabled in the UK which the world press discribe as crimes against humanity.
