Get along if you can. Also KONP and 99% Organisation are meeting MPs in Westminster on 4th March to offer a plan for Rebuilding the NHS that treats privatisation with the same degree of caution you’d apply to a radioactive isotope. Beware Greeks bearing gifts!!

Not often I agree with the grifting leadership of Reform. However, Johnson was the most damaging PM on many, many things, but I wouldn’t put migration at the top of the list.

Wallace is an idiot who keeps digging the hole he’s in, but in answer to the BBC’s question, why do you also keep digging the hole you’re in? Just drop it and don’t give Wallace any more airtime.

Let’s face it, this is what the Monarchy, landed gentry and old money have been doing for hundreds of years. Their forebears stole the land from everyone else. It’s trickle down economics over the generations. It’s not fair. It never was.

This is idiotic. Most hospitals fail because of their location, their estate and historic underfunding. Managers cannot change them, so changing managers won’t work. Pulling their funding will make them fail more. League tables didn’t work before, they won’t now.

So at 67 I’ve joined a gym and booked a personal trainer to get me started. My fourth session today and I was introduced to bird dog and dead bug. What new hell will she have for me next time?

This is so disappointing. Come the General Election we’re going to be offered Tory Broken or Tory Lite. Where’s an inspiring vision and an industrial strategy to lift us out of this mess. I’m not hearing it from Sunak or Starmer.
