Support for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative party has slipped behind the opposition Labour party to its lowest level since the 2019 national election, a poll showed, after announcing a tax rise to fund health and social care.

The poll, conducted by YouGov for the Times newspaper, showed support for the Conservatives slump five points to 33%, with Labour up one point to 35%, ahead of Johnson's party for the first time since January.

Johnson set out plans on Tuesday to raise taxes on workers, employers and some investors to try to fix a health and social care funding crisis, angering some in his governing party by breaking election promises and compromising the party's traditional support for low taxes.

This wouldn’t matter to Biden here in the US because he has the nukes and the brigades, and the citizens don’t.

More money can never fix govt programs. They will always get exponentially worse with more funding. The only thing that helps is the dismissal of the executive staff. This is why govt programs will never be fixed. Incompetence is rewarded.

As Rush used to say “Sticking with your conservative principals is a winning proposition”.

Boris is lucky that he won a nice cushion in his majority and he will wait out the full five years and possibly do things to recover in public opinion by election time. He’s still better than the Labour alternative.
