So true, needless deaths with people already dying from Measles as an example. Sadly my trust levels in Streeting are very low. Creeping privatisation continues with multiple private providers taking money away from patient care.
RFK is making it so that people in the USA are more likely to get sick by laying waste to vaccines. Meanwhile many everyday Americans are reaching the point where they just won't be able to afford their health insurance. They're going to kill people with this.

These Reform grifters really do take us for idiots. Just how deranged* would you have to be to let them near government?

In these times of rancour & division, it’s comforting to find things on which we can all agree: Kent County Council, for example, really does provide a perfect illustration of how well Reform would run the country. I agree with Nigel!

I’m as sad about BBC director general Tim Davie, and CEO of News Deborah Turness, losing their jobs as I would be if any other Tory did. Also looking forward to hearing much less about Reform and more about the Green Party. Tomorrow will do, once the news isn’t the news. #BBCBias

An ill advised (in that it’s not that easy to get to from home) trip to Manningtree for a Community Garden Radio event actually turned out well. I will be investigating the local connections to the self-styled Witch-Finder General, Matthew Hopkins!

Of course you do.
King Sorrow (signed copies) by the amazing Joe Hill arrived today.
It won't fit through your letterbox, that's for sure, but If you'd like a SIGNED copy posted to you, order one HERE!

Nick Robinson is so wrong when he says “business creates wealth” I think he’ll find it’s the workers working in those businesses that actually do create the goods and services that create wealth. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social #TaxBillionaires

The language used on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social is appalling. “The long awaited” when talking about the Israeli army invasion of Gaza city. How about ‘feared’ ‘dreaded’ ? I’m sure Palestinians are not thinking in terms of long awaited.
