@spectator The NHS isn't the problem. Not even the richest country in the World can afford all the healthcare now available. We need to stop expecting the NHS to do it all. Politicians need to stop promising the undeliverable.

@Chas_Knight @GBNEWS 2500 means we need another GP, another dentist, another teacher and classroom, 1,000 more houses... More police, more roads, more shops, more food etc. etc.

They were lucky with the weather though...

#bbcnews The Commonwealth Games have been a fantastic success for Birmingham, England and the UK.

#bbcnews PLEASE just give us the news and leave the social campaigning to the documentaries.

@Lawilliams88 @smurfanator007 @ArchRose90 The colour of @ArchRose90 skin has no bearing on that argument!

@guardian Please, after all this time, just report the facts more accurately. He was not "in a coma", his brain was dead, no blood flow and decomposing. It's all in the court transcripts.

@patsy_murrell You are right, loads of people predicted it, loads also said they would never invade. Opinions are two a penny, but I can't think of any country or government that actually took any pre-emptive action. Can you?

[DC @Acromeister]

@TheDenMillwall @realtimaier @MatthewStadlen Explain how!

[DC @Acromeister]

@MatthewStadlen We can't feed the numbers already on the planet and we are consuming finite resources at an ever increasing rate, heading towards shortages. And yet most of the comments here are about increasing the population. Heads are buried in the sand.

[DC @Acromeister]

@patsy_murrell The "low bar" would be every other government in the world! I don't think anyone predicted it with sufficient confidence to do anything about it. Even the Ukrainians, who weren't at all concerned during the Russian military build up.

[DC @Acromeister]

@KingBobIIV Quite right. He was pro-America and unpredictable which made him too dangerous for Russia or China to risk aggression. It's a shame he was too big a twat for the USA to stomach. He defeated himself.

@JohnScoots1 @danielgoyal The gov are happy to scapegoat GPs to divert attention from their lack of workforce planning and the media distort and lie just for a headline. The appointments aren't there because there are far too few doctors. We could employ another 5 in our practice if there were any.

[DC @Acromeister]

@JohnScoots1 @danielgoyal In an average day I deal with 40-50 patient contacts, they have the choice of phone or f2f. Plus home visits. Then results/letters/chasing gov targets/running the practice. Most GPs I know are doing the same and have done since Covid.

@JohnScoots1 @danielgoyal Please explain these Covid bunkers

@CharlotteCGill 4 million homes short or 10 million too many people? Two sides of the same coin. Supply vs demand.
