Insightful polling here - British public overwhelmingly unhappy with drastic 82% drop in health and social care visas. This is at the same time the NHS and social care workforces under unprecedented pressures.

“To achieve the government’s ambition of an 80% employment rate, it will be necessary to extend employment support to a greater proportion of those who want to work.” 📰 Great to see L&W’s chief economist Dr Helen Gray quoted in The Guardian Graeme Wearden. theguardian.com/business/live/…

One of the toughest and most persistent problems of public policy. Thoughtful article on Britain’s failure to tackle the nearly 1 million 16-24 year olds not in education, employment or training. On Results Day, don’t forget it’s not just about A-levels and university.

Brilliant result Shreya Nanda, will be a huge asset to Hillrise and Islington 🌹

Weird headline undermining a much more balanced piece by Faisal Islam Recent growth is not a boom, more a bounce back. After years of chaos, a return to stability is the critical first step.

Retained happy staff = shorter waiting lists + better care The crisis in the NHS *is a workforce crisis* NHS has always relied on goodwill, I saw everyday with my parents working in it. But it’s gone way too far, that’s why resolving staff pay and conditions is so critical.

Being an MP is a full time job. Another reason to hold part time Farage to account.

Empty apologies from an organisation that underinvested, dumped sewage and now wants to hike your bills.

The quickest way to get growth going is to sort out our relationship with the EU. Smart first step by PM to warming relations. Devil will be in detail of proposed treaty - will it bring anything new and could it be a model for a closer relationship. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

No, I do not think the post-war confessional of Martin Niemöller about the silent complicity of the German intelligentsia and clergy in the Nazi rise to power is pertinent to a Smoking Bill that was in your manifesto and ours to tackle one of the biggest killers. Get a grip.

This is the two-tier healthcare system left to us by the Tories. We cannot have a country where the NHS is reduced to a poor service for poor people, while everyone else goes private. They broke the NHS. It’ll take time, but Labour will fix it so that it’s there for everyone.

Have a merry Cally Christmas … in September! callylabourcouncillors.org.uk/2024/09/01/hav…

I am completely shocked at the horrific and senseless killing of six hostages in Gaza by Hamas. My thoughts are with their loved ones at this awful time. Hamas must release all the hostages now, and a ceasefire deal must be agreed by all sides immediately to end the suffering.

I can't imagine the pain the Grenfell families have experienced all these years. Today's report, calling out the systematic dishonesty, must be a turning point in their wait for justice. It has been far too long and surely criminal prosecution must be on the table.
