Maybe it's time for a 2-tier NHS and care sector?
Tier 1: The current service level
Tier 2: A reduced service level for those who are demanding that immigrants leave the UK. Longer waits for tests and treatments, fewer choices, wider catchment areas etc.

@jontafkasi.bsky.social stick your work hat on a moment - we're just looking at the governments "Cyber Essentials" scheme, for reasons (whilst we finish off ISO 27001) and in it, a requirement is to "change everyone’s password every six weeks" ??? I can't believe they still advocate for this?

To see how Labour stitched the UK up in today's pharmaceutical trade deal with the USA, you have to turn to the US readout of what they're getting in return.
It spells out what was as clear as mud in the UK government's own press release: we will pay more for medicines.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store.
If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.
