Retired GP still active in appeal tribunals. Player of all things plucked...guitar, lute, ukelele etc.

@VRounding It does sound a very promising ideal, and a promise to make it work - I hope it does for all our sakes. The Water industry is a good example of where sucking money out to profiteer without making the investment they promised to secure funding has come home to roost.

He didn’t say this. The Labour leader said he’d try to protect FRIDAY evenings after 6pm for time with his family. That’s a good ambition.

@VRounding @MishalHusain @BBCr4today I do wonder if people can't see that if they want good healthcare, good roads, good policing and such like, then it has to be paid for by taxes. Low taxes means not enough to spend on the things people expect to have.

@Ord_Off Amen!

[Mr John Dexter FRSC @MrJDexter]

Such wisdom and insight

[Nick Gravestock @NickGravestock]

@MrJDexter Is she actually trying to sound stupid and inept, or have I missed something?

[Mr John Dexter FRSC @MrJDexter]

Exactly this - oh for decent planned thought out government

[Mr John Dexter FRSC @MrJDexter]

Simple arithmetic but also true on ethos - David Mitchell seems to get it, shame elected leadership does not https://t.co/FRIIXpZE5a

@MarinaPurkiss Odd - I thought one of the benefits of Brexit was regaining parliamentary sovereignty, which enabled sovereign parliament to call Boris to account for his sheaf of lies...

[Nick Gravestock @NickGravestock]

@VRounding What is truly unbelievable is that he still doesn't accept any responsibility at all for what has happened.

[Nick Gravestock @NickGravestock]

@mrjamesob A perfect example of the 'Peter Principle' - that people are promoted to their level of incompetence.

Modern Britain welcomes its new King…

Meanwhile, irony just died.

The ludicrousness of it all beautifully highlighted by Larry and Paul here:

@Proud_Survivor1 @RobertLindsay It is not true. GPs are self employed, not contracted in the usual sense. Before I retired I used to work regularly from 8 until 6.30; the number of GPs is reduced and patients increased, and the average number of consultations per patient has increased. GPs dont get overtime.

The depth of hypocrisy

I wish everyone understood this better

@IanDunt I thought yellow cards could be given for infringements of the rules of the game -how can FIFA impose a yellow card when the rules of the game don't mention arm bands? I don't understand football but FIFA looks like an organisation that is not fit for purpose to outside observers

A picture is worth a thousand denials!

@Rick_Hall @MrJDexter I can't see levelling up there. The ratios are obscene.
