2006: 1 GP for every 1,843 people 2025: 1 GP for every 2,482 people The problem isn't the NHS, it's the shortage of GPs which neither the Conservatives hired nor Labour today are hiring, even though we have thousands of unemployed GPs

Global capitalist oligarchs buying democracy. Itโ€™s happened in the US and itโ€™s happening here. Unregulated capitalism is what they want - thatโ€™s not what a democracy should allow - it exacerbates inequality and it will wreck OUR planet. Itโ€™s why they bought the #Brexit vote.

โ€œStarmer Urged To Use Brexit To Beat Farage Amid Reform's Surge In The Pollsโ€ฆLabourโ€™s biggest problem is not that itโ€™s haemorrhaging votes to Reform. Itโ€™s haemorrhaging votes to the left, to the Greens and the Lib Dems, who are avowedly Remain parties.โ€ https://t.co/L5Wn9kmfpS

The growth in the number of huge donations to political parties from ultra rich individuals threatens democracy. Donations should be capped at a low level. Foreign donations should be banned. Democracy should not be for sale!

A handy reminder that in 2019 Farage did a deal to put Boris Johnson in No10 and push through his disastrous Brexit deal. But instead of taking responsibility, of course Farage plays the victim.

A false story in the FT tonight claims Reform would do a deal with the Tories. After 14 years of dishonesty & lies they should never be forgiven. The idea Iโ€™d work with them is ludicrous. They betrayed my trust in 2019 & we will ensure they cease to be a national party in May.

Why is the Prime Minister ignoring his own Chief Economic Advisor, who recommended a Customs Union with the EU to boost growth? Instead he's choosing to hike taxes in a cost of living crisis.

Although Starmer is now more openly critical of Brexit, he is still couching it in terms of it being implemented badly, rather than inherently unworkable. This is a gift to Reform, and makes it clear that Labour's position on Brexit is shifting at the speed of continental drift.

David Davis famously said there would be no downsides to Brexit only considerable upsides - so we started recording them.

Masks shouldโ€™ve never left healthcare. They are essential to patient care. Masks (FFP3s & above) are scientifically proven - way before 2020 - to protect against a load of diseases. Why should anyone risk getting infected with ANY preventable disease while seeking medical care?
