Bosses of England hospitals that spend too much or treat too few will not get pay rise.

Populist claptrap, not real analysis.

NHS lacks capacity, staff.

Discharging patients prematurely and subsequent readmission boosts treatment stats but is dangerous and achieves nothing.

Fund the NHS.

Thames Water’s CEO defends £195,000 bonus just three months into the job.

Shameless.

The cult of bonuses is nothing to do with performance. It is for boosting profits by fleecing customers.

Nothing will change until water is nationalised and customers vote on exec pay.
Thames Water apologises to customers but defends bonuses
Bonus payments were defended by company management as the chief executive can receive up to 156% of their salary as a bonus, while frontline workers can only earn between 3% and 6%.

Starmer wants growth, strong public services and reduced migration. He might as well wish for fairies at the bottom of his garden. Without inward migration, his other hopes cannot be fulfilled. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05...

Here's the opening to the immigration white paper and it's just utterly shocking in every way
Foreword by the Prime Minister In 2023, under the previous government, inward migration exploded to over a million people a year – four times the level compared with 2019. This was a political choice that was never put before the British people. In fact, quite the opposite – the previous government repeatedly promised inward migration would be brought under control. Instead, Britain became a one-nation experiment in open borders. The damage this has done to our country is incalculable. Public services and housing access have been placed under too much pressure. Our economy has been distorted by perverse incentives to import workers rather than invest in our own skills. In sectors like engineering, for example, apprenticeships have almost halved while visas doubled. But arguably even worse is the wound this failure has opened when it comes to trust in politics. It is a wound, as I said on my first day as Prime Minister, that can only be healed by actions not words. This White Paper is just that.

At this level of politics there is no way someone didn't know Starmer's "island of strangers" line would be heard loud and clear as a dog whistle by far-right groups in the vein of Powell's "found themselves made strangers in their own country". Just stop with the defences of it. It was deliberate.

‘I feel absolutely sick to my stomach this morning’

Rather invest in public services so everyone can have a decent standard of living, they blame immigration for all the country’s ills, poisoning minds of the public

Dear Keir, there are other options than pandering to prejudice
