How does a child from an Asian, Black, Mixed Race heritage, born & growing up in Britain, feel on hearing the words of Sarah Pochin? The divisive thoughts of Farage & Reform must NEVER be our future.

Nige thinks Pochin’s comments were ugly and unpleasant. But he agrees with them | John Crace

Reform is no place for racists, and every party has its bad apples. But the benchmark seems to be higher at Farage’s party

The fact is that the NHS needs Drs. They need to be treated with respect & have a pathway to fair pay or they will go elsewhere.

I've had the pleasure of being interviewed by Mishal Husain three times. One of the most intelligent and accomplished people I've ever met.

Here's Nigel Farage trying to shut her down with the words "Listen, love ..." like it was still the 1970s. I'd say it was unbelievable, only it isn't.

#WesStreeting & #Labour push AI as if it is the answer to everything. Providing more well-trained Drs & GPs is far more important. All very well building new housing estates with GP practices but how will they be staffed?
