CleanAir. Climate Change/ Wildlife/ Public Health. Support Science. Keep our NHS 1948 equity in "we the people" choosing when to see a qualified GP. Dont erode trust in the NHS with barriers to access. Employ more GPs.
Its that sudden flash of intolerance, rage and threat from individuals in public service positions of power that serves hopefully as the canary in the coalmine to the American electorate.

Reading the article it smacks of more "tough talking" to encourage moany would - be Reform voters. Most Council workers work hard and long hours beyond their paid hours many in exhausting complex public facing roles. A four day week with flexibility would be very sensible as a standard.

The Telegraph used to be a serious paper that promoted knowledge. Now it seems to promote repeated stances reminiscent of the days of yore. Changes in behaviour informed by today's science are presented as irritants to its outdated, narrow assumptions. The key word here is "society" . Whose?
