The Washington Post has published a scathing attack on the NHS, essentially claiming that socialised medicine doesn’t work. Dreadful. The reason the NHS isn’t working well is that politicians are turning the NHS into a cash cow for private companies 🚨

BREAKING: Nigel Farage will not be investigated by the Electoral Commission over election spending in Clacton.

In 2026 US Medication is going up 25% in the UK

This will cost the NHS £3bn a year extra, to protect just £5bn of exports to the US for just 3 years

There are only two things that can happen, they prescribe less/services are cut

Or of course, both

This 'deal' is horrible

A vote for a bill on rejoining the Customs Union won in Parliament 101-100.

The Government is now supposed to host a debate.

About 86% of Britons want to rejoin the Customs Union, including many who don't want to rejoin the EU.

Why don't we?

So many bad-faith attacks on Zack Polanski.

About a third of carers are migrants.

Among other things, Labour has banned them from bringing their partners and kids here.

Labour pretending to care about them is nauseating.
