Health secretary and NHS England chief warn of winter pressures and rising levels of abuse
An “ugly” racism reminiscent of the 1970s and 1980s has become worryingly commonplace again in modern Britain and NHS staff are bearing the brunt of it, Wes Streeting has warned.

The release of hostages and prisoners shows that even in the worst circumstances, change is possible. The bombs must stop, and guns must stay silent. Aid and food must flow freely.
The suffering is immense.
We must work together, across all divides, for lasting and fair peace.

Trump’s vote share is now at 49.9% with some votes still being counted. Looks like his margin over Harris will be around 1.5%- the third smallest winning margin since 1888.
Trump’s win was solid in the popular vote and electoral college. But it was not a landslide and it was not overwhelming.

Just like to point out that several Conservative government MPs, including ministers, have been reported to accept gifts, including clothing.
Rishi Sunak declared receiving expensive clothing items such as suits & shoes from luxury brands.
But we’re not interest in that, are we?
