I know we have a sane new government, and thank god for it, but I am so relieved to see that some political clowns still exist, enabling the survival of the car crash interview.

In this one, Farage pretends he was asked to go to the US by, well, nobody.

Labour's @wesstreeting:

"Keir Starmer could literally be on his way to Buckingham Palace to be made PM and pundits would be saying 'Oh it's still a disappointing night for Labour'. I mean come on, give me a break. I've had enough of this."

Utterly disgusting to see the Green Party excluded from this. We are standing in every single seat in England and Wales. We have elected parliamentary representation, more than 800 councillors and look likely to win multiple MPs on July 4th.

Invite the Greens now!

The French would have set something on fire by now

Hi Jake - it’s not actually to do with Easter coming too early. It’s a behavioural nudge used by supermarkets to hide the signs of growing food insecurity in our global systems. If only somebody could tell the U.K. government that there are things they could do to tackle this 🥚

First day of the year gleefully announcing splitting up families is crazy to me

I think we need more of a national conversation about the fact the government has now made it impossible for someone on an average wage to fall in love with a foreigner

NEW: Rishi Sunak to announce major package of measures to reduce net migration today.

Set to include rise in minimum salary threshold for skilled worker visas; scaling back of health & social care visas; overhaul of shortage occupation list (h/t @charleshymas)

“They’ve had a good innings.”

@BorisJohnson’s casual contempt for Covid’s most vulnerable victims - care home residents, the elderly, disabled & immunosuppressed - is the most disgusting aspect of his pandemic response.

As a frontline palliative care doctor, it repulses me.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

In January 2023 Sunak promised he would make 5000 more NHS hospital beds available by winter.

Since then, there has been a *decrease* of 2,675 beds.

The assault on the NHS from this government is deliberate, orchestrated & absolutely relentless.

Here's just some of the things we learned about Boris Johnson's Government this week, which you won't have read much about from his remaining media supporters https://t.co/e7LvzbcJdM

it's sort of like how most cars are unaffected by ULEZ, but that is somehow a national crisis

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

This thread explains how the Nightingale "hospitals" were part of a wider strategy to weaken the NHS during the pandemic. The failed and fabulously expensive test and trace programme was doomed for the same reason. Well worth a read...

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Why did the Tories kill Labour’s £55b school rebuilding project?

Because there was nothing in it for them

They weren’t making a quick buck so they killed it

That’s it. It’s that simple
