This is distressing, but incredibly important listening.

This is the NHS as the government are happy to let it function and it is a disgrace.

My heart goes out to Kenneth's family.

It is one thing to not *recognise* ONS data.

It is an entirely different thing to not *accept* ONS data.

Your regular reminder of 4 of the 316 MPs that claimed utility bill expenses on their 2nd homes.

Michael Fabricant claimed £1,334
Suella Braverman claimed £2,684
Lucy Allan claimed £4,552
Matt Hancock claimed £4,800

RT this if you think they should pay their own bills.

This is dangerous misinformation.
To be clear - there is currently no evidence to support the use of ivermectin in the treatment (or prevention) of COVID-19. Further, COVID vaccinations are not a form of gene therapy (i.e., they do not alter the recipient’s DNA).

[Julian Gough @juliangough]

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)

“Playing by the rules”klaxon (apart from if you got a big fat juicy PPE contract)

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

It's awful to see people responding to this thread by blaming either staff or patients for what is happening to the NHS. In other words, repeating the falsehoods spread by the government and the billionaire press. Don't you realise what they are doing? They *want* it to fail.

As long as you've sensibly made sure to pay off the mortgages on all homes you own, and have savings of £10-15m in the bank, *which the Conservatives have recommended all along*, you're basically going to be fine.

Shitty tech gurus: We are going to provide you a utopia.

Journalists: We are skeptical, and so we will investigate your shenanigans.

Shitty tech gurus: We were going to provide you a utopia, but the journalists ruined it.
