They just can't get enough of blowing up hospital and schools, can they?

Add to that the recently reported fact that South West Water has just been found guilty of allowing water not fit for human consumption to be piped into people's homes , making 150 people ill..... nationalise water NOW!

Even doctors are asking the government to release the corridor-care data. Why hasn’t it been published yet?

A year ago, the government promised transparency. It’s time for the data to be made public.

It is absolutely heart breaking watching years of relationship building, interface and quality monitoring NHS work just recklessly binned (along with many of the staff) by this government for no good reason.

It's what they do.

BBC1 6pm flagship news show. Starmer makes a major statement on the attack on Iran, the BBC get reaction from 3 national party leaders. Spot which party is missing?
Clue: they won a by election last week, have been above the Lib Dems in polls for ages.

Wes Streeting's solutions to fixing the NHS are removing specialists.

"Ideological nonsense designed by infants".

We need Streeting & privatisation out of the NHS. It needs to have the money put in that was taken out for "austerity".

It's not a huge jump. The motive is money and power by whatever means available.

Labour built our NHS. Now Labour wants to kill it.

How far can a party fall from its founding principles? Neil Kinnock and Tony Blair betrayed Keir Hardie.

Anybody figure out what that hundred million £+ Palantir contract is for yet? 😬 Just throw my corpse outside No. 10 please and thanks

I like my hand gestures when I'm talking about pathways!

The work of Wes Streeting

Absolutely. The point of all these reforms is to hand out fat contracts to private companies and run down the NHS enough to create a market for health insurance.

And yet every service is struggling to cope with patient need. It's absurd and tragic.

There’s also a near 100% recruitment freeze on NHS jobs as well as mass redundancies. It’s not covered in the media because they don’t want us talking about it. It’s a disgrace that newly qualified and experienced staff can’t get the jobs they’re qualified for. Nursing is no longer a job for life.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

What's happening in the NHS?

I think the difference is firstly we just went through a massive reorganisation under the Tories. But even then there was hope things would improve. Now most people have given up on that.

It's who they've been for decades. As Corbyn learned to his cost.

They are racist.

😏 Monbiot expresses it much more eloquently!!

Gorton and Denton showed that people are desperate for a different kind of politics.

But Labour have doubled down: with smears, misrepresentation, and BNP-inspired migration policy.

How low will Labour go? 📉

I imagine it as a reassuring blanket for people from her section of the political spectrum to help block out the creeping realisation that all their dreams came true and this is what it looks like.

If you look at Labour's apparent lack of interest in making people's lives better while in government and wonder why they got into politics in the first place this might provide some insight into the sort of thing that motivates them.
