Wes Streeting has received £225k from private healthcare donors in the past year and I just don't think my morals could be bought for the price of half a London flat. I don't know if I have a number that would make me sell my country's health service down the river but Wes and I are different.

Please tell me things that are actually #ruralpursuits #áras25
“Rural pursuits” consist of the following: being cold indoors, having a preference about how turf is stacked, being nosey and having no public transport. Rural pursuits do not include galloping a pony across a farmer’s land in the wet and cold with the intention of having a dog kill a fox

Every day I wake up and despite myself I think: Surely. Surely by now they've figured it out. And every day they haven't.
I hope there will come a day soon where it dawns on someone in Starmer’s team that their strategy of communicating “Nigel Farage is right about everything but please vote for us instead” is fuelling these disastrous figures rather than mitigating them, but today is not that day
Brutal new MRP poll out today showing Reform at 311 and Labour support collapsing.
