You know what they think of you, when they think they can feed you laughable utter bollox like “Fiscal rules”.

And you believe them. They take us all for dribbling fools.
Fiscal rules are works of fiction. They are as made up as fairy tales are, and yet the Chancellor is asking us to believe that she should manage the economy by complying with them. Why is she so deeply misguided, whilst taking us for fools?

I cannot stand silently by as the GMC fails patients in the PA debacle.

Its entire point is to keep patients safe from harm - but it’s failing dismally.

My piece on why the GMC is no longer fit for purpose👇

Why Britain’s doctors are in revolt
To save the NHS money, the General Medical Council has been pushing the use of physician associates in place of qualified doctors—and putting patients at risk

Starmer speaking at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus: "Quite a bit of what goes on here can't necessarily be talked about all of the time... we can't necessarily tell the world what you're doing"

RAF Akrotiri is the base from which the RAF flies missions to assist Israel in its genocide.

NHS and social care broken, no idea if or when an ambulance or the police will turn up when called, dental care is a dream for too many and now don't expect justice.

What happened? Were we invaded, was there a massive earthquake? How is the 6th richest country in this state?
ILLUSIONS OF THE RULE OF LAW.

2009/10 -2022-23: Tory Govt cut Justice budget in England & Wales by 22% in real terms.

Backlog: 370,700 magistrates courts cases; 71,000 Crown Court cases; 2,786 adult rape cases awaiting trial.

Legal-aid non-existent for most.

Whatever happened to the ‘rule of law’ in the UK?
Even if people can get access to the courts, at best they will get an interpretation of law, not justice.

It is a sad truth that literally everyone in any position of power is dancing along to the billionaires tune to maximise the billionaires profits.

Because if they don't, they will be fired.

That, is where we are.

Large parts of adult social care in England face collapse, thinktank says.

The budget blamed but there are other factors.

Massive real cut in local govt funding since 2010.

Privatisation: 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less.

Israel just brought down a full residential apartment block in the Basta area in Beirut without warning, at 4am in the morning. Families sleeping soundly in their beds, to wake as their ceilings collapsed in on them.

This is the US-Israel axis of evil at play

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.
