Sometimes something is simply too delicious; in this case it’s the ridiculous Tory Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson having to apologise to a doctor by donating to the British Medical Association’s… wait for it….strike fund. Absolutely glorious. 🏆

BREAKING 🚨 | Rishi Sunak’s decision to cut the banking surcharge is costing the public purse £29 MILLION a week, according to our report. We estimate that the Treasury will lose at least £1.5 BILLION annually over the next four years as result of the change introduced by Rishi

Worth stepping back to consider that during an economic crisis and a crumbling and overstretched asylum system which costs untold millions because we have to house asylum seekers whilst their claims are (not) being considered our government is now focussed on spending millions in

When the Home Secretary denies calling Stockton a shit-hole And the local Tory mayor doesn’t believe it

Johnson was wrong to say that similar infighting and toxic comments existed in No 10 under Thatcher, or that what he called being ‘argumentative’ assisted good government. People were focused on the job, not on tearing each other apart.

Reminder: Immigration is NOT the reason that you CANT get a hospital appointment Immigration is THE ONLY reason that you CAN get a hospital appointment An NHS is only surviving on immigrant doctors, nurses & support staff If you want to blame someone, think who’s in power….

I chair the board of a #publichealth #socialenterprise. Never thought I’d see the day when we add bankruptcy of Local Authorities as a serious risk to our financial security and business model. #BrokenBritain #GeneralElectionN0W

The whole Mone saga, the contracts, the lies, the entitlement and the fake remorse, make me angry beyond belief. Every aspect of it points back to successive Tory PMs.

Answer: a dangerous and unwelcome one!

The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has taken a £1000 bet from Piers Morgan that asylum seekers - including women & children - will be deported to Rwanda, a country deemed unsafe by the Supreme Court . New. Low. Sunk.

This is... really quite good. It's been so long since I saw effective government communication that I'd almost forgotten what it looks like.

Deep, beautiful truth here. “From the lips of children and infants, you Lord, have called forth your praise!” Psalm 8

Today we remember John Smith who died thirty years ago. I remember being with him the night before he died when he ended his speech with "all we ask is the opportunity to serve." John's whole life was a testimony to the nobility of public service.

Maybe he should address the Actual Govt which is currently in office

It is utterly shameful of Rishi Sunak to blame NHS staff for his failures on NHS waiting lists. It won’t wash with the public.

Tim Montgomerie 🇬🇧 'This would be a huge story if it was a Tory MP' You and I (plus many others) know this is absolute claptrap. 312 Tory MPs voted against forcing rented homes to be made fit for human habitation. No Labour, Liberal Democrat or SNP MPs voted against it. fullfact.org/economy/did-mp…

The total of hospitality & gifts *declared* by Keir Starmer since 2019 is £12,500 *less* than Boris Johnson accepted from Lord Brownlow for home decor. He tried to keep this *secret* by claiming he couldn't remember who'd paid & had lost the phone containing all relevant messages

Very interesting that the attention of the House of Lords reform being championed here is religiously motivated. There is a conversation to be had about representation of different religious groups in the Lords. But I for one am grateful for the way that the Bishops use their
