The paltry £5bn pledged bears no comparison to Roosevelt’s programme, says New Economics Foundation chief executive Miatta Fahnbulleh

Prime minister Boris Johnson’s speech promised to “build, build, build” as he invoked the spirit of Franklin Roosevelt, but his plans fell far short of matching the US president’s legacy. The pandemic has shone a spotlight on Britain’s longstanding problems. Vital frontline services such as health and social care have been stripped bare, our weakened social security system has left millions without an adequate safety net, and the contributions of key workers have been underpaid and devalued.

The sick man of Britain?

Oven ready part 2

Why does the British public put up with leaders like Boris Johnson. A self proclaimed liar and cheat, inventor of false claims, ie kippers, bananas... what will it take to remove him? When everybody is unemployed the penny may drop!

He thinks people will fall for it....... £5B is the lowest figure they think they can get away with.

Just sayin’

Like trump, johnson is all promo & no substance.

It's his favourite 'whack-a-mole' strategy

Boris Johnson plans a 'Rooseveltian New Deal' to rebuild BritainBoris Johnson will promise a “New Deal” for the British people to rebuild the post-Covid economy with a plan borrowed from Depression-era America More piffle from the habitual liar then. Standard. More meaningless hyperbole. Last week haranguing Starmer about opening schools. This week shutting schools in Leicester. Useless. FDRs new deal policies made the depression worse! If Boris' plan is anything like them it is a terrible idea!

'Absolutely fanciful': Boris Johnson's new deal not Rooseveltian, say criticsThe PM wants to be put on the same pedestal as Franklin D Roosevelt as he unveils £5bn capital projects The lib-left, anti-British Guardianistas can't bear to see a UK Prime Minister talk our country up. They've spent so long obsessing over our departure from the EU that all their efforts remain focussed on bringing Britain down; running up the white flag. Capitulating to events. Every time I see his picture I feel an overwhelming sense of national embarrassment and I’m not even English. Anybody else remember Billy Liar?

'First local lockdown' and Johnson's 'New Deal'The front pages cover the tightening of Covid restrictions in Leicester and plans to kick-start the UK economy. New Deal?! Laughable. No it's not a blow but just a set back. So, 600,000 people in or around Leicester may have to endure 2 weeks more of lockdown but, surely that's better than 66 million going back in Lockdown & the collapse of whole UK economy?
