The US just voted alongside Russia, Belarus and North Korea against a UN resolution to support Ukraine.

Our NHS does not need sweeping (often costly) reforms, it needs a government that values its staff and commits to support them.
Without this shift in thinking there can be no NHS fit for the future.

As someone who works in the NHS, I wasn’t offered a COVID booster through work. Flu - yes, had that early on.
These statistics do not surprise me in the least as the NHS seems to have gone backwards in infection prevention and control for airborne viruses. It’s really sad.

Only 14% of NHS workers have had this year's booster for Covid-19.
Only 23.6% of GPs.
This will significantly adversely affect NHS services over the winter.

Labour can no longer hide from the cost of Brexit. Its catastrophic impact on trade is in the OBR report they keep quoting from - but it never gets mentioned..
In a significant Intervention Bank of England governor said this week that Brexit has undermined the UK economy. @skynews.com.web.brid.gy didn’t think that was important enough to raise with the Government Minister this morning. I disagree. If you do too share this report
