Surprise surprise. Farage’s claim of voter fraud was all bollox.

I've got a GP now, I didn't have one for a decade, now I can access appointments, and we have more police here - many things looks shit out there and the country needs loads of work, but there are undeniable improvements.

Lucky you!

My GP now runs off the new system.  There used to be a telephone scramble at 08:00 to get an appointment.  Now you need to log on and beg for an appointment which is then triaged by someone (they claim one of the doctors).  I had severe pain in both hips at the end of January (arthritis related), was in agony and got triaged for a four week appointment!  Took me two weeks of phone calls and arguing to see a doctor!  The alternative, go to A&E and wait for 6 to 8 hours.

I had a CT scan at the end of January - requested after a follow up visit with my surgeon after failed spinal surgery - took four weeks for the appointment.  Still haven't had a review with the surgeon which isn't happening until the 8th of April!

Maybe the NHS is improving, but it's not exactly quick!  Although this is my first real experience of how it works, so it could be way better than it was before?

No thanks.  I've never claimed there have been any and am happy to be honest about it!

Although having said that, isn't it a Brexit benefit that the current Gov't can negotiate with the EU on trade - after all that is the definition of 'taking back control' isn't it?
