A bit lefty but don’t understand this Labour Party, have now joined the Green Party. Socialist principles but accepting people can earn more. No to tax havens, yes to wealth tax. Walk bus train run cake

This is MY GP, it’s here for me

Out for a run this morning I thought I’d show my appreciation for this GP practice

It has been there for me this year. I’ve needed 4 GP consults, 3 nurse appointments, a referral, 3 hospital letters responded to, blood test, 10 prescriptions

All that for less £150

I see that the Australian government is sending the Labour Party a massive donation.

They’re thanking labour for undermining the rights of migrant doctors in UK to the point that Australia will have an influx of experienced hardworking doctors

Probably followed by nurses and STEM professionals

Not sure I support this, there’s Remembrance Day when all are honoured. Men, women, LGBT+ and including all those with religious or no religious beliefs.

Support all who died, and those with physical or mental health issues

We’re all the same
Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.

Today we remember and grieve all those we have lost. But we also commit – collectively – to fighting for those of us who are left. There will be hope as long as we continue to stand together.

Was too far to the right for me many months ago.

Green and libdem are more socially aware than labour and have more acceptable policies to bring equality back in many aspects of life.
The more Labour moves to the right, the lower it sinks in the polls. Surely it can't be long before its election-winning genius strategists put two and two together?

It is astounding that the majority of routes do not have toilets. The right to a toilet at work is a basic human one and should be a given for all workers. Bus companies know what they should be doing but are ignoring the welfare of their drivers. 2/2

More generation from wind and hydro, these are 24 hours a day (assuming we don’t have still nights and extended drought).

Pumping water upwards into dams when demand is low and generation is high, great opportunity for hydroelectric schemes to help bridge the high demand times.

The thing we don’t hear, have never heard and you won’t read today is what the energy will cost - I’m not sure the government or industry knows. If it does, it doesn’t want to say. That’s an informational black hole at the heart of all the SMR hot air.

Race to the bottom.

UK banks push for easing of capital adequacy rules. They want deregulation and lower capital requirements to compete with shadow banks which are unregulated.

This will end in tears. Public purse will bear the cost. All avoidable. Will any govt resist the City?

The Rule of Law and enriching the rich.

For £60bn private sector investment in public assets, UK govts paying £306bn + billions in servicing traps.

Govt has revived PFI, calls it Public Private Partnership (PPP) and will apply it to the NHS. Billions will be drained from public purse.

Such a pity that frontline NHS staff aren’t given the space in newspapers to air their thoughts, as Streeting is. The NHS is currently missing around 100,000 staff. It’s no surprise when they’re bashed continually for fighting for fair working conditions🚨

There's a part 2 to this Byline Times article by Dr Nafeez Ahmed. Not delved into it myself yet, but fill yer boots if you like.

Just my own worthless opinion, but I think this is where the real story on the current BBC debacle is. Not that that will be widely reported.
