We've had several polls where we're in second place above Labour.
And today we found out we are closing in on overtaking Labours membership.

Streeting says he can't rule out harm or death over Christmas caused by the resident doctors strike.
In fact, he is the one responsible since he ignored resident doctors' requests for meetings in October and November to resolve the issues.
His f***ing job is to keep us safe
He is playing politics

@fletchjack.bsky.social from the BMA explains they've been trying to get round the table with Wes Streeting for several months but Streeting didn't even bother replying to their letter
Now we're in Dec with a Flu epidemic & Streeting is accusing resident doctors of endangering patients

Most probably don’t realise that before Thatcher 42% of people lived in council housing - now it’s only 6%. There is a housing crisis and over 300,000 are homeless as a result of her policies. The damage she did to this country is immense and irreversible yet she is viewed by so many as an icon.
I’ve never understood the adulation people have for Thatcher. She was a heartless monster who asset-stripped an entire country and squandered the money to buy votes. The idea that she was some sort of economic genius is farcical and the terrible state of the country today is her legacy.
