Ffs Yvette. You may think this ‘we will train our own’ argument persuades voters but it isn’t reality. You don’t have the money or the training programmes in place. The shortages are now. The care profession is in a state of dire neglect. Get fucking real and stop with the hideous cynicism.

Petition: Require candidates for MP to be registered to vote and residents of the UK
Currently, a candidate for MP is not required to be registered to vote or be resident in the UK. We ask the Government to require candidates for MP be registered to vote and residents of the UK.

As Keir Starmer weighs up UK-US trade vs UK-EU integration, he faces three key facts (a 🧵):
(i) only about 25% of UK losses from being outside the EU customs union & single market can be replaced by even the best imaginable US trade deal (& that won’t happen) /1.

Carney and Trump faced off on who would call who first. Trump caved in and lost when he saw Canadians moving their business to the EU. This makes the US look even weaker as they initiated the stand off. #cdnpoli
