Boris needs to turn his eyes to the councils in the former red wall areas, particularly those with no clear working majority. There are a couple with severe issues. It is a good example of why devolution will not work in regional England. The PM needs to realistically understand the North.

Make the BBC get rid of the BBC licence fee make it a subscription, and the over 75's should not be made to pay for the privileged life of BBC employees !

You are providing furlough for coronavirus but most of restaurant owners are not paying money to employees which is very unfair with workers. You should have introduced universal basic income scheme scheme, most of the countries are following this scheme for saving the people. To save businessmen, you killed the workers. Business owners are also getting cash grant from government. But we're getting nothing.

[Ahmed-ubjf]

Finally all those taxes paying off
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A speech written by Cummings. Makes you wonder why all of this stuff wasn't moved online in the first place, or is that the long term aim anyway...

You promised to give £350 million a week to the NHS. This budget like everyone else, doesn't mention.
