“It is very disappointing to be three quarters of the way through the year and not know what our current settlement is.” NPA Board member Ashley Cohen spoke to BBC Breakfast this morning about pressure on community pharmacies and unacceptable delays to the pharmacy contract

Enough talking, it’s time to act! 1. Let’s finance our aid for Ukraine from the Russian frozen assets. 2. Let’s strengthen air policing, the Baltic sentry and the EU borders with Russia. 3. Let’s swiftly adopt new fiscal rules to finance the EU security and defence. Now!

Last week at an NHS 10 year plan event I posted a comment which was read out anonymously to much derision that "NHS England should be scrapped". Today they aren't sneering quite as much. This is absolutely the right thing to do. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx29…

5/5 At bare minimum, Trump is a traitor, sexual offender, and pedophile/sex-trafficker protector who was and is willing to betray his country to protect himself. What does that say about those still defending him today or tomorrow?

This is off the top of my head. These sorts of inefficiencies happen on quite literally a daily basis. Everybody in the system knows this. Everyone. Yet what is the government’s diagnosis? “Juries. They are the problem. Get rid of juries.” It is absolutely mind-boggling.
