Over 35 years in healthcare, still championing the NHS, we fixed it before & we can fix it again.

I must admit I do like the new Reform UK manifesto:

‘WRONG
WRONG
WRONG
WRONG
WRONG

NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO!’

It’s catchy isn’t it?
Bit like one of those wrap songs. 🎤🎵

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

A self made millionaire whose parents had nearly nothing, but could afford the £25k fees for Hampton School??? It’s just farcical for a bunch of upper class millionaires to pretend they want to do away with legislation that protects us all, in an attempt to promote white working class boys 🤷‍♂️

Britain’s Story: The Next Chapter - BBC Royal Charter Review, Green Paper and public consultation

This is the Gov looking for your input on the BBC. It takes a while to complete (15/20 mins) but it’s pretty comprehensive and covers most aspects.

Please share. I’m surprised many people haven’t seen it yet.

What's the Monarchy For? - Series 1: Episode 1 With access to political players and royal insiders, broadcaster David Dimbleby asks: how much power does the monarch really have – and is it more than we tend to think?

If you've not already done so, do watch this 3 part documentary about the monarchy by David Dimbleby.

Excellent broadcasting.

We desperately need to reform our constitutional arrangements, and certainly how public money flows to these unelected billionaires.

Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

Just because it's reached the 100,000 threshold, doesn't mean anything will happen.

So keep signing and sharing, because we need to show MPs that there's a huge demand.

Keir Starmer has called for an investigation into Reform's ties with Russia.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is 'surprised' about who he’s called upon to lead it.

I’ll never forget the horror of the Covid wards | The Observer

"My NHS colleagues & I weren’t willing to let the bodies pile high in their thousands. Boris no longer mentions them at all."

My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away.

Sincere thanks, @theobserveruk.bsky.social.

Anyone being pursued for non payment of taxes, should not be able to donate to a political party, although they aren’t really a political party but a Ltd company, so 🤷‍♂️

Unfortunately the previous government destroyed the Russian report & probably destroyed the data it was based on. I’m sure there was a lot of shredding going on during the election!

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Farage isn’t a politician, he doesn’t understand the consequences of his proposed policies. If he sends back settled Europeans & they do the same, what happens to all the Reform voters happily retired in Spain etc? If this policy also apply to sports, where would England football & rugby etc be 🤷‍♂️

No point calling a nurse, they don’t have the authority under the mental health act, but she’s definitely a danger to herself/others, so someone should intervene 🤷‍♂️
