"ANDREW NEIL: Britain is paralysed by a toxic brew of political incompetence and impotence. No wonder millions are now asking... why can't this Government get ANYTHING done?"


"Nothing works in this country anymore — it’s a complaint you hear with increasing frequency these days.



It’s obviously an exaggeration. But it should be a matter of great concern to the Government, for there’s enough truth in the phrase to make it politically toxic for those in power.



This is especially true because it is the dysfunctional performance of the services that have an impact on everyday life — health and transport, for example — that annoy the public most and which people correctly expect government ministers to put right.



Yet they clearly don’t know how to fix things. Instead of solutions and improvements, people see too many politicians who manage to combine incompetence and impotence in equal measure — so that, far from anything getting better, things invariably get worse."

If you wont to look at incompetence and impotence., you only have to look at the goverments failure to deal with Economic migrants ,crime , public transport, social care and the nhs in all these areas things has got worse over the last 12 years and it was getting worse before Brexit , Covid highlighted the level of sleeze and incompetence in all parts of the goverment.

Doctors assessing people for signs of dementia have traditionally asked their patients: “Who is the prime minister?” Some health professionals report that they stopped using that question this year. There has been so much manic mayhem at the apex of politics that it has been a struggle to keep up even for those in full possession of their faculties.

2022 was the year of two leadership coups, three prime ministers, four chancellors, five education secretaries, six fiscal events and more than 30 exits from the cabinet. The doors of Whitehall revolved so fast that ministers barely had time to hang up their coats before it was time to leave the building.

I am becoming more and more depressed by everything at the moment and this just echoes how I feel.

For the DM to be writing this is most definitely sign that things are bad.

Went with my dad for a dementia assessment recently. They asked the Prime Minister question, when he struggled a bit they did say it is a hard question at the moment.

the goverment would rather Demonise front line staff than admit it was thre incompotence that is causing many of the problems.

www.theguardian.com/society/2022/dec/12/decade-of-neglect-means-nhs-unable-to-tackle-care-backlog-report-says

" “decade of neglect” by successive Conservative administrations has weakened the NHS to the point that it will not be able to tackle the 7 million-strong backlog of care, a government-commissioned report has concluded.

The paper by the King’s Fund health thinktank says years of denying funding to the health service and failing to address its growing workforce crisis have left it with too few staff, too little equipment and too many outdated buildings to perform the amount of surgery needed."
