On Thursday, the UK public continued discussing a figure of former Prime Minister Johnson. This time, it concerned the inquiry into whether he deliberately misled parliament over partygate.

This theme gained media attention from domestic and international media. Yet, many of them considered that it could be an end of Johnson's political career. 

This day all of us also were able to estimate tax returns of Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer... And to admire the fact that our Prime Ministermade £1.9m last year alone.

The majority, however, had come to conclusion that "it shows nothing of value, because tax returns generally don’t, and were never going to. This whole tax return bollocks is shite anyway, it’s a yank problem imported across here to apply meaningless pressure to British politicians. People who thought this would help anything have no idea what a tax return actually is."

Almost everyone had quickly realized that the UK current Prime Minister is out of touch with ordinary people, judging by his family income. Even his wife pledged to pay the UK the amount due on her worldwide income, just after a loud row. Hence, this issue is not new.

Much more important news of Wednesday was an announcement of a four-day walkout of junior doctors in April in their fight to get a 35% pay rise in England.


The Reddit users noticed that it comes right after the four days of Easter/reduced hospital staffing, so basically eight days. They found it horrifying. And it is hard to disagree with them. For "at a rough estimate thats a cost of 367 million."

That is during an actual workforce crisis that has led to enormous amount of waiting lists and huge excess deaths.
