@PistolsBack_ @JBuckleyLabour There is some surprisingly good stuff in the Labour plan for working people this time though. More radical than I expected.
@PistolsBack_ @JBuckleyLabour NMW and right to union recognition were pretty good. The taxes thing is interesting, looking at headline rates for the main direct taxes, the number of new taxes introduced, changes to reliefs, and how the burden falls on different groups. Not sure I draw a conclusion on that!
This is where I work as an A&E consultant. It's like this everywhere, everyday.
Over the last 14 years, the unacceptable has become the accepted.
My patients deserve better.

Don't forget to vote! 🗳️
There are two hours left until polls close.
If you're voting in person, please bring your photo ID. If you haven't mailed your postal vote, you can still drop it off at your local polling station.
@PistolsBack_ @JBuckleyLabour My reason was mainly around better workers' rights from day one, end to fire and rehire, protection from unfair dismissal etc. Will make a real difference to so many. And to have a hard working, decent local MP. I sense we might not agree! But all the best to you anyway.
We didn't have parties to "boost morale".
We didn't have quiz nights.
We didn't have champagne.
We watched our colleagues die.
We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands.
These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office.
Use your vote. Vote.
There's still time to register to vote, but only just.
Deadline is 11:59pm on 18 June 2024 (ie Tuesday night).
Please encourage absolutely everyone you know to register.
If they're not in it, they can't help win it.

Just heard it reported on a news channel that the 'plan was to send failed asylum seekers to Rwanda'.
That was not the plan.
The plan was to allow Rwanda to decide whether or not an asylum claim was valid.

Lobby Akinnola for Covid Bereaved Families for Justice: "It’s devastating for bereaved families to think that anyone in the Tory party is considering bringing Boris Johnson back as PM. This is the man who oversaw the deaths of 200,000 Brits to Covid-19 on his watch."
