Am growing increasingly concerned that the government is about to take a backward step on mental health which will do further damage to its standing and more importantly damage care for people in need. The mental health sector was desperate for a change of government because services were in such a state but if the rumoured dropping of the Mental Health Investment Standard is confirmed it will feel like a kick in the teeth to so many. Mental health waiting lists were not in last week’s Plan for Change, which set alarm bells ringing. Mental health accounts for a fifth of the U.K. disease burden with less than 10pc of funding. If MHIS is axed, funding share is likely to fall as demand rises. I can’t see how this fits with the “hospital to community, prevention rather than cure” planks of @wesstreeting strategy, the parity between mental and physical health promised in the manifesto, or the commitment to get economically inactive people into work. It doesn’t make sense and I hope it does not happen.

We now have the first cabinet in history made up entirely of state school educated MPs

Landowner David Hampton planted larch pines in a douglas fir forest in Oregon in the shape of a giant, 300 feet smiley face 🙂

Every autumn the larch pines turn orange and the smiley face stands out.

#OTD 1983:

Adam Ant's latest single Puss 'n Boots continues to climb the charts as it basks in excellent radio airplay action in the provinces.

So, up north to Newcastle it is for a performance on the new series opener of ITV's kids music show Razzmatazz, screened 1/11/1983.

You can even see its song in the air.

Most people are unhappy.

So, I've spent 20 hours watching Bill Murray interviews over 3 months.

THE BIG ONE!

I've always wanted to put the fued between Mike Baldwin / Ken Barlow from Coronation Street to Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Today I did. Enjoy your evening x
