Fix politics so we won’t have to vote tactically.

The myth that today is the most ‘depressing day of the year’ seems to pop up every year and we’ve honestly had enough of it! So, we’re spilling the tea on Blue Monday - here’s 3 big reasons why it can get in the bin 🗑️👇
We need to solve the overcrowding crisis in A&E. I may have the solution!
It came to me whilst reading my son " A squash and a squeeze" by Julia Donaldson (author of the Gruffalo)
A&E Squash and a Squeeze, adapted by Rob Galloway
A little old A&E, lived all by itself , with cubicles and chairs and a water jug on the shelf.
A wise old health secretary heard her grumble and grouse, “There’s not enough room in my A&E house.
Wise old health secretary, won’t you help me, please? My A&E house is a squash and a squeeze.”
“Take in your drunk and disorderly patients” said the wise old health secretary man
“Take in my drunk and disorderly patients? What a curious plan.”
Kept in A&E, instead of a cell, they vomited on the rug,
And flapped round the cubicle, knocking over the jug.
.
The little old A&E cried, “I implore? It was poky before and it’s tiny for more.
My nose has a tickle and there’s no room to sneeze. My A&E house is a squash and a squeeze.”
And she said, “Wise old health secretary, won’t you help me, please? My A&E house is a squash and a squeeze.”
“Take in your awaiting medical bed patients,” said the wise old health secretary man.
.
“Take in my awaiting medical bed patients? What a curious plan.”
Well, the awaiting medical bed patients pulled back the curtains and trod on the bed,
``then sat down to eat via her long term peg.
The little old A&E cried, “Glory be! It was tiny before and it’s titchy for more.
The drunks attacked the awaiting medical bed patients and the awaiting medical bed patients got fleas. My house is a squash and a squeeze.”
And she said, “Wise old health secretary, won’t you help me, please? My A&E house is a
squash and a squeeze.”
“Take in your awaiting mental health bed patients ” said the wise old health secretary man.
“Take in my awaiting mental health bed patients ? What a curious plan.”
So she took in awaiting mental health bed patients who kept pressing the alarms in cubicle ten
And raising everyone’s blood pressure again and again.
The little old A&E cried, “Stop, I implore! It was titchy before and it’s teeny for more.
Even the mental health patients in the cubicles agrees, My A&E house is a squash and a squeeze.”
And she said, “Wise old health secretary, won’t you help me, please? My house is a
squash and a squeeze.”
“Open an urgent care centre,” said the wise old health secretary man
.
“Open an urgent care centre? What a curious plan.”
Well, the urgent care centre attracted the 111 referred worried well,
Whose long waits created an unpleasant waiting room smell
The little old A&E cried, “Heavens alive! It was teeny before and it’s weeny for more
I’m tearing my hair out, I’m down on my knees. My A&E house is a squash and a squeeze.”
And she said, “Wise old health secretary , won’t you help me, please? My house is a squash and a squeeze.”
“Take them all out,” said the wise old health secretary man.
“But then I’ll be back where I first began.”
So she persuade the police to remove the aggressive men
“That’s better – at last I can sneeze again.”
They opened up ward beds and she gave a jig
“My A&E house is beginning to feel pretty big.”
She persuaded the 111 patients to self discharge where safety would allow.
“Just look at my A&E house, it’s enormous now”.
“Thank you, old health secretary for saving the day, Our A&E is so big now, our staff might just stay.
.
There’s no need to grumble and there’s no need to grouse. There’s plenty of room in my A&E house.”
And now she’s full of frolics and fiddle-de-dees. It isn’t a squash and it isn’t a squeeze.
Yes, she’s full of frolics and fiddle-de-dees.
It isn’t a squash or a squeeze.
