Here’s that same chart, but now highlighting which party was in power at which point. The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed something. When Labour were in power, spending and investment went up 📈 When the Conservatives came in, it went down 📉

NHS staff reporting last few days being some of worst they've experienced. The NHS isn't working because of this Gov ideological driven cuts to staffing, beds & resources over decades. The solution is NOT more privatisation. We need to kick out the profit makers & save our NHS

I’ve just written to my MP. You might like to consider writing to yours. writetothem.com

We know a lot of people are sharing heartbreaking stories of how they or their family are being affected by what this govt has done to our NHS. So it's even more important to share this, so everyone sees who exactly is to blame.

If his maths was better maybe he'd understand that you can't run a National Health Service if you are 50,000 nurses short and are cutting their pay.

"Doctors have accused Rishi Sunak of being “delusional” after he denied the NHS was in crisis and insisted it had the money it needed to cope with the surge in winter illness." theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

I keep returning to these graphs by John Burn-Murdoch at the Financial Times and wondering why more British journalism can't be as straightforwardly lucid and illustrative as this. The catastrophe of Tory rule laid bare.

The Government are attempting to pass responsibility on to NHS staff by demanding they 'increase productivity'. Staff are already overworked and deserve fair pay now. The Government alone are responsible for the ongoing NHS crisis.

Please read; the most important piece I've written. Mass poisoning has suddenly killed off most sea life for 30 miles by the Tees. The govt claims it's natural; ind scientists warn it's manmade. The govt is desperate not to inquire too deeply as its freeport policy is at stake.

I am launching an ambitious plan to increase capacity in hospitals by building 40 new corridors.

It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead! Here's Mr Blobby in Terminator 2.

Got my booster today- the new CanSinoBio inhaled vaccine. Super easy, basically comes in a milk tea cup, you inhale, hold it, exhale- done. No taste really. Should improve vaccine rates here, and the efficacy is supposed to be decent.

It seems WHISKAS UK have reduced the size of their pouches from 100g to 85g. Could you please explain to my cat your theory of modern economics when all she understands is that she's still hungry? I'll now be switching to a different brand that still has 100g pouches.

Warning to anyone using Octopus Electroverse ⚡️ to pay for EV charging. They charge you more than the amount shown on the screen (and in their own app) at the time of charging. When I complained they refused to refund me, and said it's not their problem.
