There are many things that people care about, aside from the ongoing political drama. If you have something to say about current events, MetroTalk invites you to share your thoughts in the comments section. This week, the focus is on the Conservative party and their leadership race. According to a recent report, Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick are the last two candidates standing in the race to become the party's leader. This news is quite fascinating, especially for those who have been following the Conservative Party conference.
Having watched these two candidates in action at the conference, it seems that their main focus is on immigration. While this is an important issue, it may not be enough to win them the next general election and secure a spot in No.10. There are other issues that people care about, such as the NHS, schools, and public services. It's possible that the Labour government will address the immigration issue by the time of the next election in 2028/9. This prediction comes from Andrew Edwards, who lives in London.

Now, let's shift our focus to Boris Johnson. Recently, he has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Many readers have shared their thoughts on his recent actions, including his memoirs, Unleashed, which have caused quite a stir. One reader from London, Robert Hughes, believes that if Boris had any consideration for others, he would have avoided seeking the limelight while the Conservative Party was electing its future leader. He also believes that Boris's book does not deserve the attention it is getting and serves as a reminder of why he is no longer prime minister.
Moving on to another reader from Norwich, Steve, who is glad to see that Boris has not changed and is still as delusional as ever. He refers to the time when Boris suggested invading Holland to get the Covid vaccine, and points out the irony of Boris criticizing Sir Keir Starmer for accepting freebies while he himself has been involved in corruption and freeloading. Mick from the West Midlands also shares his thoughts on Boris's actions and mentions the controversial appointment of a Russian friend to the House of Lords, despite security services advice. It's clear that many readers have strong opinions on Boris Johnson and his recent actions.
Shifting gears, let's talk about a different topic that has been making headlines – should Labour invest in house insulation? One reader from London, Ryan Cooper, believes that this would be a wise investment as it would save money on heating bills and benefit the environment. However, he also points out that lobbying from the construction industry has hindered any political progress in this area. Another reader, Vince from Coventry, believes that if there were more female leaders in the world, there would be less wars. He argues that throughout history, the majority of wars have been started by male leaders and suggests that female leaders would be more compassionate and less likely to allow such devastation and suffering. However, he also acknowledges that there are exceptions to this, such as Margaret Thatcher, Suella Braverman, and Priti Patel.
Lastly, we have a reader from London, Nick Smith, who shares his thoughts on the top earners in the UK and their taxes. He believes that these individuals are driven by greed and are not philanthropists. They care more about their wealth and possessions than the well-being of others. He even suggests that some may believe they can take their money with them when they pass away. It's clear that there are differing opinions on the wealthy and their responsibilities towards society.
