Right: Your reminder that Brexit has cost the UK ยฃ13.5 billion in trade
To make up for the lost UK-EU trade, Labour needs to find 108 similarly updated trade deals
That's ยฃ13.5 billion in trade every year lost by keeping us outside the EU Single Market

Don't miss @danielhewittitv.bsky.social's investigation into the underfunding crisis in UK palliative care. With MPs debating assisted dying, this just couldn't be more important.
Thank you @itvx.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute.

Nigel Farage loves open borders - for the super rich

Nigel Farage has 3 full time bodyguards paid for by you the taxpayer.
I don't think this is an expense we can or should afford, and certainly not without knowing exactly how much, or who to.

So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.
In the week that MPs vote on assisted dying, please - please - can we all agree & act on the fact that the time to end the woeful underfunding of NHS palliative care is now?
If we truly cared about dying people, we wouldnโt neglect their final days.
Over to you, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
Confirmation of a coal tip landslip in Cwmtillery is extremely concerning
Coal tips are a legacy of an industry that extracted from Wales to enrich London
Yet the UK Government has only pledged 4% of the ยฃ600m needed to secure them
Westminster must commit to the full funding
โIt is only a matter of time before a mountainside is brought down. We need climate adaptation help โ and we need it nowโ

The funding cuts to GP Practices by NHSE have been the reason for lack of GP appointments
Until recently ARRS didnโt include GPs (75 GPs in Sept)
Funding 31k staff ยฃ1.4bn whilst cutting ยฃ2bn in real terms cuts for GP practices
Canโt see a GP blame

The failure to invest in GPs, with a cut in funding of 20%
Led to unemployment & under employment of GPs, practices closing & GPs leaving
The new Govt said it would bring 1000 GPs via ARRS JUST 75 have been employed
