I called so many people on the phone to tell them their loved one was dead or dying in December 2020.
"Can I come and see them?"
"We have to protect everyone we can from this. No visitors are allowed. I'm so sorry."
"I understand."
Meanwhile in CCHQ…
Reasons for the increase in sickness absence complicated & not just ergonomic!
Worsening social determinants of health, widening health inequalities, services that are more difficult to access due to waiting lists & a workforce shortage in the NHS
It’s not just your chair!
10 years ago, the NHS was scored by experts to be the best health system in the world. Today, it ranks worst in Europe.
The Tories have intentionally driven the NHS to a position of crisis in order to justify accelerating privatisation.
Tulip Sadiq asks the prime minister about the welfare of 200 unaccompanied migrant children who’ve gone missing.
Tory MP Jonathan Gullis heckles ‘well they shouldn’t have come here illegally’.
Just when you think you’ve heard it all, the Tory Party find a new low

Lester Pigott convicted of tax fraud (evading £3.25m) and jailed for three years
Boris Becker jailed for 2 1/2 years for hiding £2.5million worth of assets & loans to avoid paying debts
Nadhim Zahawi caught fiddling £3million tax … deafening silence …

Public sector workers can be sacked for going on strike and Nadhim Zahawi won't be sacked for dodging millions of pounds of tax. And there you have it.
Also Jeremy Clarkson, wow that poor bastard needs so much therapy. All I can suggest is that he undertake some form of the hero's journey and come back to the village ever changed or do civilization a favour and fuck off from public life.
1 in 9 nurses left the NHS last year.
Even if the govt thinks it's fine for nurses to be earning £5000 less in real terms today than in 2010 (it's not), this dire retention rate ought to make them act on pay.
The fact that they won't speaks volumes.
They want the NHS to fail.
Alex scott a women who has just come out and now is in a country where she she can be killed or imprisoned for being part of the community is wearing the one love armband, brave and powerful stuff from her
The truth is…
People know our broken NHS means loved ones can die waiting for ambulances
People know our mismanaged economy, infrastructure and welfare means people choose between heating and eating
…but they’ll still vote Tory if it means lower taxes and deported migrants.
• We pay Tory MPs energy bills. They vote to raise our bills
• We pay Tory MPs rail tickets. They vote to raise our fares.
• We pay Tory MPs wages. They vote to cut our wages.
Stop bankrolling the same MPs who vote to ruin the lives of ordinary people.
I am sorting my dashcam footage from last couple of month and got to my car journey from Glasgow to Helsinki and I thought it can show you nicely what Brexit means
