@RachelReevesMP For design & content team who wrote this - there is so much concrete stuff you could nail the govt on and you choose to headline with an IMF forecast? Just slightly weird, put your best foot forward!
@Gilesyb@FT So much this. 1 year and 45 days to build the Empire State Building. I've had potholes on the edge of town taking longer to be repaired than that. (Albeit I don't see a link to computer age)
@LBC@NickFerrariLBC A&E staff tell you the 2 big problems causing backlog:
1. Many elderly or sick requiring care are 'dropped off' over Christmas in A&E when their families go away for free care for a couple of weeks.
2. Patients are ready to be discharged but no outpatient care available
@karaalyskennedy @TheSpectator Nice article, I've been trying to take it up for years for all the reasons listed but my guts just go to pieces whenever I start. Anyone know if they acclimatise to it or I'm just not built for it?
@chilternrailway The 'our whole network has collapsed due an overtime ban' is an incredible line.
1. Are the staff so unproductive they can't do allocated work in normal time?
2. Is there not enough staff to cover needed work in time?
Only one is possible.
@xGPhilosophy The ludicrous first game Iran penalty decision still weighing on England's xG against heavily here, stopping XG championship coming home.
Calling for longer lockdowns and more QE & borrowing, and then complaining about the impact on the economy and health service is peak British political-media class idiocy.
