“Yearlong waiting lists have too often been the norm here, for vulnerable young patients, many struggling to eat, to sleep and to learn," says @EddieCrouch.

“We shouldn’t be forced to play a zero-sum game for theatre space.”

Breaking: Keir Starmer accuses JD Vance of interfering in British democracy and attempting to stir up unrest on British streets

This is the strongest condemnation yet by Starmer of the Trump administration

Number 10 says:

“In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets.

“The Nowak family are grieving after Henry’s horrific murder. They have said they do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension. We should be respecting their wishes.

“Our politics should bring people together even in the most terrible of circumstances. That is who we are as a country.”

Excellent “monologue” 😉 @doctor_katie it’s nice to hear what’s going on with medical colleagues, shame it seems to be going as well as our own situation but that’s why we do what we do @TheBDA and @TheBMA

Professionals and patients alike deserve a better system!

Irish politicians are avoiding questions about Aughinish. Patrick O’Donovan refuses to answer my calls. The refinery is in his constituency

He says the Russian owned plant is not connected to Russia’s war machine, without showing evidence. They want this to blow over. It won’t

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

I’ve been investigating the russian refinery for days now and the story gets darker and darker. The shipments are sent to Siberia, smelted, and sold to the russian company ‘ASK’. This company distributes aluminium directly to Russia’s missile & drone manufacturers.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.

There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.
