So my sister has MS has a bad fall and fractures her foot in Hammersmith, she lives miles away, and goes home immobile. The Hammersmith hospital gives her an urgent prescription. Our local hospital can’t dispense because NHS hospital pharmacies aren’t linked. Genius. #NHS
@JewishNewsUK@DavidPintoD I have friends children with SEND needs being told there are no state school places. You knew schools would close, so what now for parents? Forced home schooling? It’s a disgrace.
@DavidPintoD@rachelreeves@MelJStride Ignoring the fact of spiralling unemployment and tax burden, plummeting living standards, schools closures. But sure, there’s a “plan”.
@BarryBlackNE Why is it common sense for parents who pay for state school places and don’t take them up, adding £8k/ child to the state funding and then pay 20% extra for school fees, introduced mid school year. How is that reasonable?
@srcoooer2024@kelvmackenzie You have Gordon Brown to thank for that, in scrapping Advance Corporation Tax relief he single handedly scuppered final salary pensions. Got little attention at the time, personally I’m still angry!
Happy St Andrew's Day to everyone celebrating in Scotland and across the UK!
Labour will extend the Scottish bank holiday to all in the UK and introduce four new bank holidays to celebrate each of our nations.
@LBC@rcolvile@BenKentish I live in Barnet because of the proximity to Greenbelt land. We’ve had years of super intensive building, with none of the infrastructure promised delivered. I’m pro-growth- trees and grass thank you.
@BarnetCouncil Well….you could start by closing down the crack house that Councillors and Police know about and do nothing, metres from a primary school and my sisters’ house. So they don’t have addicts breaking into their hall or car weekly. Zero action: for a year.
@BarnetLabour Is anyone looking at the systemic problems of sky high bills in the first place, we are paying so much more than the rest of Europe. Our bills shouldn’t need to be subsidised 🤦♀️
I get the feeling that some MPs haven't scrutinised the #AssistedDying bill& are voting for this because they feel that Kim Leadbeater is a good egg, which undoubtedly she is. But this is NOT voting 4 your favourite act at Eurovision, this is seismic law change at breakneck speed
@MartinSLewis Yes! My daughter, 7yrs, counsels me against excess spending “Mamma, do we really need more plants”…hard to argue with really. She always wins Monopoly so I think she’s got a good head for money!
Just a reminder that Musk’s companies have received over $15 billion from the US government — he’s happy to go after USAID but not the agencies that have been feeding him.
