The real cause for alarm for me is that the NHS is going into this winter stressed and stretched *yet again*.
We should have a health system that can cope much better with winter pressures and we just don’t. 7/8

While focus is often solely on asylum, and small boat crossings in particular, it's important to remember that Labour's hostililty against all migrants is harming not only individuals, but the whole country, with an estimated loss of £10.8billion, and zero actual benefits.

One in five women in England say ‘concerns not taken seriously’ during childbirth, survey finds

I feel like there's probably a market for a basic and happily AI free writing laptop.
e-ink screen, no apps, no browser, maybe a basic email client so you can send stuff, USB port, nice keyboard (possibly detachable).
Fuck. I want a word processor
