I’m missing watching the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix despite being down the road in Ferrara, but worth it for finally attending the enteric nervous system conference!

So this appeared in Liverpool last week.

For those who may be unaware, this hospital was approved (under the last Labour government) 13 years ago in 2009. Building began in 2013. It was due in 2017. And still isn't ready.

This @10DowningStreet ad, in short, is a stone cold lie.
