Even if you ignore the dreadful withdrawal from Afghanistan, ignoring the Russia report and Cygnus report, the report into PPE contracts, deaths in care homes despite a protective ring around them, proroguing parliament, Brexit and the NI protocol, the shameful Sue Gray report, the watering down of the ministerial code, etc ....... there were numerous parties at number 10 breaking COVID laws, followed by misdirection and some would say lies, whilst many of us couldn't hold the hand of a dying loved one. Is this government incompetent, lazy, untrustworthy, evil, or just disgraceful ? And at the head of it all is Boris.

@snowyowel7961 just a dozen for now
1) “One of the reasons we’re having this election is because we have a Queen’s speech that was blocked by parliament”.
Actually the Queen's Speech is one of the few votes that Boris Johnson has won as PM.

2) Boris Johnson claimed that he did not suspend parliament to stop MPs scrutinising his Brexit deal.
The Supreme Court ruled otherwise. It said prorogation had the effect of "frustrating or preventing the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justifications."
3) Parliament voted to approve the Brexit deal.
Parliament did not vote to approve the PM’s Brexit deal. Instead it backed the second reading of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill - its first hurdle in Parliament.
4) On prorogation - “One of the reasons I wanted to have a Queen’s Speech was so that we could bring back the domestic violence Bill”
The domestic violence Bill, officially the domestic abuse Bill, had already had its first reading in the Commons on 16 July, before prorogation. When the government announced prorogation, Bills in Parliament at that time - like the domestic abuse bill - were “understood to have fallen.” He did bring it back but only after that.
5) Delaying Brexit is costing £1billion a month
The fact-checking website Full Fact says this cost is only when compared to a no-deal Brexit, in which the UK refuses to pay any divorce bill. It also doesn't include money the UK gets back out of the EU.

6) The Tories are building 40 new hospitals
Boris Johnson ’s promise of 40 ‘new hospitals’ will actually only deliver six with 'seed funding' for others. And the figure includes renovations of existing hospitals.
7) Labour voted against £7,800 of tax cuts on working people
The £7,800 figure appears to be a catch-all Tory estimate of the times Labour has, for example, voted against the Budget. But Labour often votes against Budgets for good reasons that have nothing to do with tax.
8) Johnson denied that he had said police forces were “spaffing money up the wall” on historic child abuse investigations
In March this year, Johnson said on live radio “£60m I saw was being spaffed up the wall on some investigation into historic child abuse”. His comments were a prominent news story at the time.
9) Labour will allow a Scottish independence referendum in 2020
Labour have ruled out allowing a Scottish independence referendum in 2020 and in the early years of the new parliament. There could be one at a later date, however.

10) NHS spending rise is the 'biggest in modern memory'
The Tories are indeed pledging £34bn in cash terms by 2023/24 - a 3.2% real terms rise. But the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank makes clear this is still less than it used to rise under Labour - and comes after years of Tory cuts.
11) Jeremy Corbyn wants to scrap MI5
Labour's 2019 election manifesto vows the opposite, saying: "We will ensure closer counter terrorism co-ordination between the police and the security services." Diane Abbott signed an Early Day Motion calling for the abolition of MI5 in 1989, but said more than two years ago that her views had changed.
12) Boris Johnson claims EU rules mean kippers have to be packaged with plastic ice pillows.
He made the claim during a leadership hustings, brandishing the fish in its offending plastic packaging. EU regulation covers fresh fish, not smoked fish. The UK's Food Standard Agency says food manufacturers must transport food so it is fit to eat. This might require a "cool bag".
