00:00 Yeah, well I think I'd quite like to ask him when are we going to get some levelling up
00:08 money because this area of the country, and we live over the border in Lincolnshire, the
00:12 roads are disgraceful and there's never enough money to fix the potholes. So where is the
00:17 millions coming from the councilled train scheme?
00:23 Why isn't Morgan and John should get the little towns back on their feet?
00:30 Stop wasting money.
00:31 I wish they'd invested more in our country instead of other countries. I mean I'm 90
00:37 and I've lived, there's always been wars abroad. We need a lot more in our countries.
00:44 They don't give the council enough to spend on things. They say yes on the bus fare you
00:50 pay £2 or you get a free bus pass. But it's not the government that's paying for it, it's
00:55 the council. So they don't give it enough money to pay for these things. I mean this
00:59 market for instance, it used to be that busy, they used to queue outside the town hall to
01:05 get a place. Now they charge so much that they just can't afford to stand. This is foul.
01:12 Sort the boats out.
01:14 OK Mr Sunak, when are you going to have the next general election because we need it now.
01:19 Early on war when people here are sort of coping with food banks really.
01:26 I would like to ask him what he's going to do about the social situation. The fact that
01:34 people can't get into hospitals, there's health care issues with carers, people haven't got
01:41 enough carers to cover the needs of the people. Also they don't pay the carers enough so they're
01:53 lacking there. What are they going to do about the NHS? The total situation there is a shambles.
02:00 What's he going to do about the state of the roads? It's like driving over ploughed fields,
02:05 we're paying road tax, none of the money is going towards the state of the roads. What
02:11 are they going to do to improve the whole of the situation that they've run down for the
02:17 last 14 years? That's about it really.
