If all the boomers ‘just got on’ with the heatwave of 76’ then why the fuck don’t they shut up about it 50 years later

won't be taking any prime minister seriously until they lay out a plan to make england better for people born post-1990. it's tiresome being expected to foot the bill for literally everyone else and getting increasingly little back for it

People seem to relish the idea of him being killed in prison (which like Ian Watkins, he probably will be)

Wanting ‘prison justice’ but being squeamish about the death penalty is cowardly & people seem to agree — 70% of the public like capital punishment for child killers

Interesting that they’re only doing this after the public saw the bodycam footage and were outraged by it

This is the reason why we can never reform healthcare in the UK — or even have a sensible debate about it.
The moment anyone suggests alternative/additional ways of funding health Labour rushes out privatisation smears and claims US private health insurance is being proposed.
Labour has been doing it for decades. It explains why the NHS is effectively beyond reform.
The two worst health systems in the rich world are in America and the UK. It’s why nobody has ever copied them. It would be mad to go from ours to theirs (or vice versa).
But Europe is awash with health systems that can call on several sources of funds, including many with compulsory public health insurance schemes. They have better health outcomes than the NHS. They are free at the point of use (like the NHS). Most of them are better funded.
But Labour puts them out of bounds, refuses even to discuss or consider. So patient care suffers. NHS struggles on.
Labour is always telling us we need to get closer to Europe. It’s where we belong. But not when it comes to health, where it insists no lessons can be learned. Pretty pathetic, really.

Just days ago, David Miliband was warning about the impending food crisis, conveniently ignoring how he and his brother created a legislative and policy framework that gutted our domestic fertiliser capacity. Now George Osborne is lecturing on defence and security, while glossing over the defence cuts and energy policies he championed. We are living with the direct consequences of the choices that entire political class made in the 2000s and 2010s.

“If the English physique has declined, this is no doubt partly due to the fact that the Great War carefully selected the million best men in England and slaughtered them, largely before they had had time to breed.” ~ George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier, 1937

I don’t see what the problem is? Salt prices are set on the global market so there’s no point in making it ourselves.

We no longer make nitrogen fertiliser in this country because of your policies to phase out fossil and make energy expensive. Own your own catastrophic policies.
