Think about this next time you slag off the #NHS and trot out the tufton street / heritage foundation tropes about not fit for purpose, it’s the immigrants and how moving to a US style of healthcare would be much better.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”
