............... someones reverse list on Boris Johnson is incoming.

I've stayed away from Brexit these past few weeks, can't vote anyway and as I stated, I'm glad I can't.

I hope whichever direction the British people vote is the right outcome, but I have a feeling I'll be voting next time to try to stop or undo along with a majority at undoing or protecting any mess from the fall out.

The parties have said this, claimed that, lied through their teeth to get at each other, whoever wins will have the burden of doing what's best and in particular sorting out the great NHS which I used this morning and that saved a friend of mine who had 2 minor heart attacks at age 39 just the other week.

No, it was a really good experience, much better with this new management.

Best experience I've had there in years, called up and they had an appointment for me in 20mins.

Must be down to something Labour put in place before 2010.

Can't be anything to do with this government.

MRP poll which correctly predicted the hung parliament last election calls a 28 seat victory for the conservatives with a margin for error between a 60 seat majority to being 12 short due to so many constituencies having a 5% lead or less.

My consitutuency is the tightest in the country with both conservatives and labour at 38% of the vote. The only real chance labour has is to convince their traditional Welsh labour leavers to switch back in the next 24 hours.

Interestingly they are predicting an SNP loss of 2 seats which is strange as nearly every polling company has been predicting a gain of about 3 - 8 up until now.

SNP have massively missed the mark - the Scots don't want independence, they know it would be a fiscal disaster - they look at the balls up the SNP have made on the NHS (worst results in the UK but highest cost per person) and on infrastructure spend and are saying - NO THANKS

Luckily for the SNP there is no strong alternative, if Labour had come out as Remain they may well have taken a lot of Scottish seats, to late now.

The Labour model:

Get one of your kids to do some chores for the day, and agree to give them £10 for it. When they're finished, give them £3, and divide the rest among your other kids who have done f**k all

On the NHS, you can only speak as you find and my extended family has had the best possible treatment over the past few years:

My Mum who has macular degeneration (eye problems) has now had 35 sets of injections that cost £1k each apparently.
My Father in-law has had heart issues and had a defibrillator fitted in his chest, also had bowel surgery and other stuff.
I've had a few issues with (non invasive) skin cancer that have been sorted very quickly.

I could go on, but to say the NHS is failing/in meltdown is totally ludicrous.

My grandmother is currently dying with weeks to live, in horrendous pain. There are no spaces available in any hospice in the whole of Kent so no palliative care for her.

My colleague at work has bad psoriasis and has been waiting over a year for specialist light therapy to start.

A doctors surgery near my mums place has only two GPs left working in it. Used to have four

I should clarify that I am not managing her situation myself and that if I was the situation would not be as it is. Im not happy with whats going on at all and im unable to intervene. Im nit convinced all avenues have been explored.

My other grandmother had dementia and her care cost £1,200 a week. Of course at the time you just pay it. There is no serious alternative
