I am interested in politics and world affairs. I am left leaning. I love nature, writing poetry and songs. I enjoy reading books and have piles of them I have read and piles to read. John Boyne my favourite author but love reading all sorts of books.
The key issue is that Primary care still isn't working. A lot of people end up in A and E that should be seeing a GP but can't get an appointment. Hopefully the new hubs will allow people at weekends as well to be able to go there rather than AandE when GPs don't work at weekends (they should be!).

It was Labour MPs who put pressure on them not to raise income tax which doesn't make any sense! Income tax is fairest way to get money because those with more incomes pay more. They should have raised income tax by 1% + dropped VAT by 1% - no change in overall tax but more money + encourage growth!

But what I don't understand is that Labour MPs were putting pressure not to put up income tax! Income tax was created to be a fair way of getting money because those on higher incomes paid more. I cannot understand why they don't raise income tax by 1% + drop VAT by 1%. More money no change in %tax

What is this man's obsession with beards? How does somebody having a beard stop them from being able to fight in an army?? I am thinking maybe he can't grow a beard because he is that sort of person isn't he - I can't grow a beard so that must mean that anybody who can is 'woke'!

Agree 100%. The issues it has need to be sorted but the BBC is a great institution. We cannot allow the likes of Farage and Trump destroy the BBC so that the likes of the Telegraph, GBNews, Trump etc can spread more mis information that sows hatred and division.

From those of us watch the BBC this is welcome news. He was on the BBC far too many times and hopefully Reform will boycott the BBC as well so we don't have to hear them spouting racist policies and creating and causing division. Who does he think will care if he boycotts the BBC??

But it isn't coming from Starmer is it? It is coming from Number 10 and Mcsweeney is similar to Cummings in that he has far too much control. Starmer isn't doing well and he probably won't be there in a year but they need to hold it together so the next leader can last until election in 2029.

Also it appears that No 10 (aka Mcsweeney) wanted to stir the pot and brief against Streeting. Not sure if Mcsweeney is actually actively trying to get rid of Starmer himself but through manipulation.... No 10 hasn't been working and has been toxic since he was in charge that is for sure....

I can't even listen to this awful man. He has sunk so far into the sewer for his career that he will never be able to get out. He would sell his own family in order to get to the top. Nobody other than the racist few are listening to him any more after his pathetic, inciteful, videos.

If this is Mcsweeney he needs to go because he has had a massively negative impact on Starmer since Labour came to power. Maybe he is trying to weaken Starmer..Number 10 have had issues since the start of Labour Govt and Mcsweeney is the common denominator for the last 18 months. Time for him to go.

I have wanted him to last until next year so the person replacing him won't have pressure to go for early election. But he has spent far too much time abroad where he feels comfortable. He has made too many mistakes here + he isn't good at communicating with British public. So it might be sooner...

Also true is that 99% of the time the BBC does a brilliant job at telling the truth. That is why there is a right wing media (supported by Reform + Tory party) campaign to destroy them. The Tory party have now sunk right to the bottom of the sewer where spreading hatred and division is King.

The BBC isn't institutionally biased it is just really good at telling the truth which the far right + right don't like. Tories attacking BBC is just part of their sink to the bottom of sewer. The Mail,The Express,Telegraph etc have an aversion to truth so they can spread lies, hatred and division.

Absolutely correct. BBC verify would make mincemeat out of most of the crap in the Daily Mail, Daily Express, Telegraph + anything that comes out of Trump's mouth!The Tory party joining the fray to destroy the BBC says much more about their sink to the bottom of the sewer than it does about the BBC.

Nick Ferrari wouldn't know good journalism if it bit him the arse! He is so biased towards the right that he cannot see beyond his own extreme views. BBC is a good news organisation and is the only one I would trust to tell the truth with all the mis-information flying around in newspapers + media.

You mean deeply offended the most thin skinned narcissist that exists on this planet?? Farage and Tories want the destroy the BBC so they will do everything they can to push this to the limit. All the rest of us need to fight for the BBC with all its imperfections.

About time he stood strong on this.The appalling rhetoric from Tories + Reform doesn't belong in 21st century. Starmer needs to show strength against sowing of hatred + division in this country. That is is his most important job because if we go down into the sewer it will be difficult to get out.

I actually think this proves BBC is doing a good job.If the left thinks they are biased towards the right and the right think they are biased towards the left then surely that means they are actually in the middle?They make mistakes + need to own them but as an institution they are doing their best.
