Christina McAnea on Times Radio describes how UNISON fought back over the transfer of NHS staff into subsidiary companies, telling ministers “we will fight you everywhere this happens… Thankfully they saw sense and listened to the unions.”

This is the new leader of Kent CC.
People need to think carefully before sanewashing this dangerous nonsense for its "whacky fun" or "camp energy". To paraphrase Goldblum: "Oooh! Ahhh! That's how it always starts, but then later there's running and screaming."
Good job @ayeshahazarika.bsky.social.

I love the NHS but it’s completely absurd to be prescribed fairly urgent meds at A&E only to find that the hospital pharmacy is *shut on a Sunday* which then requires you to drive around multiple supermarket pharmacy counters in vain search of this elusive medicine before everything shuts at 4pm

@ayeshahazarika.bsky.social cannot believe the Reform Head of Kent Council has refused to distance themself from the covid vaccine being linked to Royal Family cancers live on your Times radio show. Completely irresponsible attitude.

Inside Labour is a hard-working, decent party wanting to make a difference. They need a chance to sort themselves out. Trying to please the right fails us all and makes it far too easy for Farage.

🧵Spoke to @ayeshahazarika.bsky.social earlier about the two child cap & why, leaving aside the moral case, I think the political case for scrapping it is stronger than appreciated. It's a good e.g of where headline polling only tells part of the picture & obscures more than it reveal
