Servalan has spent the last hour pressed up against the fence quacking. It started off in response to Sarah Jane's disappearance indoors but has become distinctly Pavlovian since she realised I'm prepared to buy her silence with mealworms.

Today, Labour is going to announce a return to PFI for the NHS- which is a total disaster. But they’ve renamed it the “NHS neighbourhood rebuild”. Don’t be fooled 🚨

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The myth that the NHS is ‘free’ is propagated by people who don’t want it to exist. No it’s not free! It’s paid for by the public - and many older patients who need the service more than most have paid into the system for their entire working lives!
