We are giving the biggest cash boost ever to our NHS, but Corbyn's chaotic policies will put that at risk.

There is a clear protocol in place that Amazon has and that we have in the NHS.

Boris has run a disciplined campaign and is almost certainly going to be our next prime minister, people need to put aside their differences for a greater purpose. My view is that we need to start coming together sooner rather than later.
