My NHS employer has just confirmed redundancies are coming. For the second time in my 16 year NHS career tens of thousands of NHS staff, many with decades of experience will be thrown on the scrap heap. Many worked on the frontline (including me) in the pandemic. This is Streeting's reward for us.

Labour's whole pitch at the moment is "better terrible than disastrous", and that isn't exactly a winning strategy when they could be positioning themselves to actually provide voters with a positive reason to support them.

Absolute genius strategy. No way that could backfire…
Unless, say, the greens started polling ahead of Labour and became the new tactical vote against Reform.
But nah. Who could imagine that?!
