cos I'm getting poorer , cos the NHS here is getting worse, cos this years pay rise for me will be under inflation, cos my nieces and nephews r paying high rents and cant afford a house here, cos the roads in my town look like farm tracks, cos the railway r a mess with expensive tickets, cos i voted remain and this here Brexit thing is rank, cos he constantly gans on about 'hard working families' but in the real world I see hard working people who are low paid and sliding into poverty now. When you listen to him everything is great – it will be like being a billionaire!!!!. I am sick of the site of Hunt, Cameron, Badenoch, Barclay, Frazer, Dowden, Shapps, Keegan, Gove, Lord Snooty and co who get regurgitated into top jobs. He's also carrying the anger I feel to that cheesy lettuce wife and the lying/psychopathic blond haired chump who by the grace of the old school tie and saying 'get brexit done' ended up as PM. 'Judge me on my results' – I am and will and I give you an F. Labour is not much better but they will beat my Tory MP here so I'm with them this year.

Systematically neglecting the needs of the people, instead focusing on enriching his billionaire buddies and corrupt backers. Continually Lying when trying to defend his actions. Lying while trying to defend Brexit. Wasting billions of taxpayer money to corrupt handouts to Tory donors. Complete lack of charisma or empathy while communicating with the public. Complete failure to accomplish literally anything in government. Being a weak pushovet with reform UK and DUP. I’m getting tired and there’s so much More to write…

He is weak and disconnected from the reality of most working British people. IMO it is toxic to have a PM that is as rich as him and as connected to some of the more damaging parts of the financial industry.

@barkere51

For me it’s his pushback on the environmental agenda. The science is clear: we need fast action now, and not a cutback on what we’re doing. We’re foregoing the greatest economic opportunity since the Industrial Revolution, and that’s because he’s trying to divide the public in the hope of clinging on to power
@xiaoyu61xu
