I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

5 appointments left. 31 requests (and counting) for them. So safe. So bringing back the family doctor (to sit staring at a screen desperately trying to filter out what actually needs one of the last few appointments). We used to close the forms and send someone down to see extra patients - progress?

Still, at least the decision to abolish NHS England and halve the funding of the regional organisations without any budget for redundancy has been a complete triumph of health service system reform.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?
Tough new conditions to be imposed on migrants who want to settle in the UK will not apply to more than a million people who arrived in the UK under the post-Brexit immigration surge
