It’s closer than you think

Danielle Smith, Trump cosplayer & Premier of Brian’s Govt of Alberta whose policies focus on provincial autonomy has been busy

Her Sovereignty Act seeks to “protect” Alberta from federal policies incl withdrawing from 🇨🇦 National Pension Plan & yes, banning COVID jabs🤔

The only surprise so far from Shaggy's appearance at the Covid inquiry, is why, when he vowed to tell the truth, the bible didn't spontaneously combust... 🔥

I'd imagine the announcements on the Enterprise rail journeys could be interesting on crossing into NI & vice versa

Perhaps Irish Rail & Translink could run a lucrative joint lottery, an opportunity for creative writers...

"Understandably covered up" rape of a minor, allegedly multiple times & apparently many other offences...

That's somehow ok then?

Genuine question

Tbh Edward we managed the last time too. A different mindset in winter getting out in the predawn gloom to school or college, but in reality not that much different

It was always raining anyway 😉

I'd imagine NI and Scotland would have bigger issues

Ever been to Iceland (the island)?

They seem to manage very well on GMT even in mid-winter when daylight appears about 9.45 - 10 depending on the cloud base

Ireland could manage easily although do doubt, lots of moans like the last time it was tried

Most of the press just parrot *incoherent* anti-immigrant rhetoric

There's barely a lick of realism in any of it, just the Lam-like sensationalism bcos it's gets them clicks & headlines

We're being fed "news" by illiterate children

Lam's arguments are nonsensical & easily refuted. This is just another right-wing self-interested clown whose ambitions far exceed her capabilities

The problem with such openly racist speech however, is the constant drip of hate, normalising racism in common discourse & we know where that leads

Mike, Ms Reeves isn't blaming #brexit , all she's done is criticised the Brexit "deal"

📢 Big difference!

It’s interesting too how Tories frame one other as intellectual powerhouses when their actions & words betray them as ambitious trolls

Lam is no different & her logic is easily exposed as garbage yet the media flock to her like flies to a dustbin

“A blond bimbo says…” or are we missing something?

Genuinely curious to know if Lam is a “serious” politician irrespective of her own ambitions?

Immigration statements are obtuse, racist often reflect the framing of a question🤷‍♂️

Lam’s logic is easily exposed yet she seems to get disproportionate airtime & media seem attracted to her like a 🪰 to 💩

Can we have an official “none of the above candidate” in future please?

This year, it seems the unofficial “none of the above” candidate this year is Jim Gavin 🤪

Can’t help wondering if Ms Lam has ever ventured into the wilds of Yorkshire in her hunt for her culturally coherent society or anywhere in Northern Ireland ..

..assuming she knows which streets they’re on?

Satire is the art of making someone or something look ridiculous, raising laughter in order to embarrass, humble, or discredit its targets

Trump’s 💩video is satire, but only in the sense that it makes him look like a complete arse

Given Lam's own ancestry & if enacted in the 1930s, she'd have overseen the deportation of her grandparents & the likelihood she wouldn't even exist

Can't help wondering if the logic of their craven ambitions ever gets a microsecond of scrutiny while they're busy making misery for everyone else...

Mngt & training is hard sell & it's maddening how nothing is integrated into the system from mngt consulting, even basic procurement

Strings remain in the iron grip of DoHSS, demanding mngt consulting & then claws costs back from Trusts w/o any lasting value

DoHSS is where real change is needed

Leaving the EU is the problem; the #brexit "deal" is only one disastrous outcome

The only reason for such coyness, is the implication the govt will do the bare minimum to ease the trade pain & little else. A strategy for membership is what we & the EU need to see

From experience, a good medic & good manager combo is a very rare & highly valued talent

NHS is beset with mngt consultants & too many pointless targets. Staff have to cope with unfriendly dysfunctional information systems & change is poorly managed. It’s improving slowly but a long way to go yet

.. To bridge gaps in the flows of data & information, humans intervene which means, even with best efforts, mistakes happen & patients fall through the gaps

Medics do their best but with low investment managed by too many dimwits, your experience is inevitable 🤷‍♂️

It just doesn't have to be this way
