The EU nations all have different approaches. Denmark and Sweden are leading Europe in dismantling their Covid restrictions.

Which of those are wrong?

1. "be a temporary role, lasting no more than six-months given Johnson's lack of electoral popularity" Labour remains ahead in the polls and many commentators including Chris on this forum expect him gone in the Summer which will result in a cabinet reshuffle.

2. "increasing waiting lists"
Quote:
NHS waiting lists will continue to grow for another two years in England, and in some scenarios could more than double to 14mn, despite a tax rise designed to plough an additional £30bn into the service.

3. "inflation"

Inflation in the U.K. is at levels not seen for decades, with the latest reading the highest it’s been since March 1992

4. "Fuel prices." Cap up by 54% this month with Martin Lewis today suggesting a further 20% increase in October

I welcome your evidence-based repudiation of my statement.
