The record NHS budget was caused by adding the £14.9bn PPE Fraud and Dido Harding's £36bn Test and Trace onto the NHS Budget.
In reality the NHS budget has been cut for every single one of the 13 years that the Conservatives have been in charge.
Left: Rishi Sunak, "It's important elected politicians are careful with their words and do not inflame tensions"
Right: Andrew Marr, "Here is what Suella Braverman thinks and I quote: The truth is that the Islamists, the extremists and the antisemites are in charge now. They have bullied the Labour party, bullied our institutions and bullied our country into submission"
"Every aspect of that statement is untrue.. The notion that Britain itself has been bullied into submission is both hysterical nonsense and profoundly offensive to this country"
"The only reason that Braverman's wind and piffle matters is because as the Conservative party begins to fragment into the right, conspiracy theorists, who want us to have a blazing culture war about ethnicity and immigration, are being encouraged by politicians who should know better"
"Because around the question of race, a fire has started to smoulder. And in terms of what MPs say, the only thing that really matters, is whether they are bringing a can of water to it, or a can of petrol"
Powerful words by 102 years old philosopher Edgar Morin, one of France's most revered intellectual figures, as well as a Jewish WW2 resistant who fought as a lieutenant in De Gaulle's France combattante.

Here are his words on Gaza: "I am both astonished and outraged by the fact that those who represent the descendants of a people who were persecuted for centuries for religious or racial reasons... That the descendants of this people who are today the decision-makers of the State of Israel, that they could not only colonize an entire people, partly drive them out of their land and seek to expel them for good... But also, after the massacre of October 7, engaged in a real massive slaughter on the populations of Gaza and continue, incessantly, hitting civilians, women, and children.
And to see the silence of the world, the silence of the United States, protectors of Israel, the silence of the Arab states, the silence of the European states who claim to be defenders of culture, humanity, human rights.
I think we are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to testify. Let's resist in our minds, let's not be fooled, let's not forget, let's have the courage to face things head-on."
Liz Truss, "I grew up in Paisley and Leeds in the 80s and 90s. I've seen boarded-up shops. I have seen people left with no hope turning to drugs. I have seen families struggling to put food on the table."
Conservatives were in charge from 1979 to 1997.
The French went on General Strike because retirement was going to 64.
Their Energy bills were 40% of ours
They retired 6 years earlier
Their pension is 3x higher
Their wages are 25% higher
We have a unelected Government 80% don't want, come on UK make a General Election NOW.
Jess Phillips destroys all the BS & money wasting from this pathetic government 👏
The Rwanda farcical which will never work & has zero humane credibility
Real world reasoning 👇

Junior doctors didn’t waste billions of taxpayers’ money on dodgy contracts.
Junior doctors didn’t sell off our health service.
Junior doctors didn’t cause record-high waiting lists.
The Tories created this crisis. Solidarity with junior doctors striking to save our NHS.

WE WANT AN ELECTION
31% say as soon as possible
Altogether 66% want the GE by the summer
I want one as soon as possible.
How about you?
Victoria Atkins: "Junior doctors or doctors in training as I prefer to call them"
Me: "Tory Secretaries of State or unqualified, often dubious, sometimes scandal-ridden, Tory donor-contract giving MPs or newly made peers...as I prefer to call them."
In the wake of that despicable video of Tories dancing and partying in December 2020, I say that if they won’t give us a General Election we need to come together and fucking force them.
Enough was enough a long time ago. Get the fuck out of government you scumbags.

@JohannaSaunders@stephc1967 I feel the same. I grew up believing that having a Royal family protected us from descending into an undemocratic, authoritarian state as happened in the 20th century when European countries got rid of their Royals.
Seems you can have both & I'm not happy about it.
