Trump: "We're actually going to Ft Knox. Because I want to see -- do we have the gold? Do we still have whatever it is, tons of gold? I hope we do. Wouldn't that be disappointing?"

We were told the purpose of regulation was to impose standards and accountability. But that should be now, not in 2027

Rachel Reeves is a disaster… and I grew up through the Thatcher years.
UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves seeks to influence the outcome of the car loans scandal.

Tells the Supreme Court that £30bn compensation to customers for mis-sold loans will harm the economy.

People can be ripped off but banks don't have to face the consequences

These stats are frankly bonkers. If anybody is complaining about why they are waiting to see a GP. They need to ask why successive governments have not supported the same growth in GP numbers as it has hospital medic numbers.

Starmer deepens NHS privatisation.

Can increase NHS capacity by buying private hospitals.

Plan won't generate new health staff. Private sector will poach NHS staff.

NHS to be a shell, doling out contracts to private sector. 30%-40% money will vanish in profits.

Labour haven’t got more GPs
The summer plan was for 1000 GPs via ARRS scheme so far just 65 have been recruited in the latest figures
This is because it’s restricted funding & not given to practices to recruit directly
GPs are unemployed due to no funding
Susanna Reid, "Don't you need more staff? More GPs? You're opening new hubs, where are the staff?"

Health Minister Karin Smyth, "We've already in the summer made sure there are more GPs"

We have 2,000 fewer GPs than in 2015, and since then our population has increased by 5.3%
