What a way to kick off the year with @JewishLabour’s one day conference. Was a pleasure to discuss Labour’s past, present & future, alongside other important topics including Ukraine. Thanks to @Keir_Starmer we can now focus on Labour’s future - and it’s bright.
On my way to Tynecastle in Lothian buses speak with two ladies, age 79 &. 83 about their NHS experiences I wonder if any of our cosseted Ministers ever get out of their chauffeur driven limos & talk with the folk the purport to represent.
Some Brexiters have got in touch to tell me I’m making stuff up when I say that Vote Leave campaigned on the idea that Brexit would mean shorter wait times for medical treatment. So, here is the evidence:
New Labour’s NHS reforms transformed a service where long waiting times had left hundreds of thousands in pain into a service where short waits, patient choice, rising staff numbers & new facilities were the norm. @wesstreeting is going to have to do that all over again.
For @CNN, I wrote about the people caught in the middle of two crises: cladding and the cost of living. Five years on from Grenfell, thousands remain trapped in unsafe homes, facing bills they can't afford for building work that hasn't started.
