Health and care funding crisis will create pressure to choose assisted suicide, MPs and peers are told

It’s a slow burn Marge. our money is going into low paid and our children in schools/education, EXACTLY the right targets. My 3 kids (38-43) had pay rises (and back pay) above inflation for the first time in 14 years, got help with child care, breakfast clubs and lunches as well as mortgage drops. 👍
Labour MP'S like my own doing great work locally for our communities. Just been to a local meeting he organised to engage the community re the 1.5 million our town received from the Pride in Britain fund for town centre regeneration.
Needed some normality after this week.

Real people in real towns are being helped by this government. Don’t let ANYONE tell you differently. Things are starting to improve and it’s the people who desperately need the help who are getting it first. Labour are transforming this country into one we can be proud of.

Starmer and Reeves have a 10 yr plan. I like their plan. I don’t expect it to materialise in 16 months. And I don’t expect it to be without its challenges. I also accept external factors will play a part. That’s why it’s a 10 year plan.

What? Nandy being useless on culture issues? Surely not...
On Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy’s refusal to review the BBC Board membership of Robbie Gibb, Lib Dem culture spokes Anna Sabine MP said:
"This is the wrong choice...Gibb isn’t fit to serve on the BBC Board, & the BBC Charter gives the Government the power to sack him." PM should step in, she says.

The UK media is on an oligarch controlled mission to make the public forget 14 yrs of Tory disaster and assume everything is the current government’s fault. The plan is for this to pave the way for Farage, their man, to take over and ensure they get more of your money and you get less rights. 🤔

Oh dearie me, what a shame. The statute of limitations for libel in the IK is 1 year. The Panorama episode titled Trump: A Second Chance? was first aired on 28 October 2024. Trump only now plans to sue. How sad. What a pity. Too late. 🤣

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
