The election became so tribal around Brexit that policy went out the window, Get Brexit Done won Boris the election not his MPs or their policies outside of a xenophobic lie.

'We'll take back control of our borders' he proclaimed and we now have record numbers of immigrants in the Channel.

He didn’t have a brexit policy

The ironic thing about brexit and the toxic election is that the little Englanders who voted for the facists will probably lose their so called precious Union.

And that’s the U.K.’s fault is it?

He fell into the PM gig because he was the Tory that shouted the loudest to get Britain out of the EU..... obviously the "selection process" takes no account of competence and ability to do the job.

It's there for all to see the level of incompetence......and the SNP are delighted..... support for independence is at an all time high

Whilst I tend to agree that Brexit was the key basis for the election win, Corbyn was as much responsible for putting the Tories into power as Boris was.

Diabolical party leadership and should have gone a long time before.

But yes, this government are a shambles. A bunch of charlatans who thought they'd have it easy and then COVID-19 showed up to really highlight their incompetence.

I struggle to see many countries who have handled this virus as well as they proclaim. Many have made atrocious errors.

I have a lot of sympathy for those dealing with the virus - a lot of it is unknown and we're learning more every month.

But, there have been some fundamental failings and what really irritates me is that they just can't admit it.

Even the Cummings incident.. they chose to just lie and lie and wait for it to go away.

It's just totally unacceptable.

This is the thing. I keep forming the thought that I should not be too critical of them, as this pandemic is a nightmarish and unprecedented situation with no clear right answer to any situation it throws up... but then I stop and realise that, like you said, it's probably only served to highlight the kind of leaders they would have been anyway: incompetent, dishonest and uncaring.

I just don't understand the shock of how bad Johnson has turned out

the guy is an idiot he is basically just Trump this side of the pond

Patel, Hancock, Williamson, Rees Mogg, Raab, Grayling, Cleverly, Sharma, Jenrick

any of those names above could be sacked any second now and not one person would be shocked

anyway as mentioned above its hopefully going to push the support for indy toward numbers that we need

The SNP have made exactly the same mistakes as Westminster but people are delighted because they say sorry.

It’ll be interesting to read wee Nic’s version of recent events when she’s properly grilled in the next few weeks.

Come on Ging you know well where the election was won. Tories pretended to be the working mans party and to save them from big bad Europe. Hook line & sinker. Personally I hope the union is over - time for Scotland to run its own affairs and hopefully in time Ireland will stand on its own within the EU.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

As much as I’d like an independent Scotland it would suffer immensely were it to attempt to run its own affairs right now.

It wouldn’t have even been able to raise the money for the furlough scheme. And it will be quite revealing to see how much it wants to examine its own affairs when the SNP come under the spotlight over the Salmond debacle.

Should be fun

Glad I’m not in my 20s - paying for furlough etc. will be a mill-stone for at least one generation
