@MichaelRosenYes I loved reading the diary entries while you were in intensive care. These people who sat with you and cared for you were incredible. I cried reading their posts as no doubt you did when you were able. ORRsome people. I read your book in one go. Much love to you and yours. X

Rather strangely, someone posted here that I mentioned the countries because I couldn't remember the people's names. But I have the Intensive Care diary that the people wrote and it has their names in.
@MichaelRosenYes always the mensch. He wrote this in his book in response to Keir Starmer’s “Island of Strangers”. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️🔥

Just to clear something up, The money spent on PPE was not “wasted” It was not “misappropriated” It was stolen… From all of us. Money that could have saved thousands of lives was stolen!

Ed Balls suggests its either more money for doctors or improving capacity in the NHS If the doctors demand are met capacity in the NHS will improve. Better pay helps deal with the retention crisis by keeping doctors in post & more training places means more doctors #GMB

The poorest lose right to financial privacy The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025 empowers the state to 24/7 snoop on bank accounts of recipients of universal credit; employment & support allowance; pension credit. No court order needed. No right of appeal

@DevanSinha @ExplosiveEnema2 @wesstreeting It’s outrageous - and I’m sure not widely known. It’s no wonder doctors are leaving the NHS to work in countries that value them properly.

@valhumphreys51 @ExplosiveEnema2 @wesstreeting NHS purposefully isn't creating substantive consultant posts for docs across specialties- including neurosurgery- who finished their training. They're forced to work these short term 'fellow' jobs that pay at or below resident/registrar lvl= cheap specialist for monopoly employer

Michelle Mone's company PPE Medpro has been wound up without repaying the £122m it owes for ripping off the NHS. But luckily, she gets to keep the private jet and the superyacht.

PPE Medpro has been liquidated but because it has only £0.6m only £0.6m of the £148m debt will be repaid. A Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), placed against Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman (worth £500m+) would allow all the money to be recovered. Why hasn't it happened?

NB, Alan Milburn is the man who brought us PFIs, one of the greatest squanderings of public money in recent history. The PFI regime imposed on NHS, councils & schools raising £57b costs over £300b diverting money from patients & pupils to pay huge interest

Amazon is reportedly in talks to invest at least $10 billion in OpenAI — a few weeks after OpenAI committed to buying $38 billion worth of capacity from Amazon Web Services. These circular deals are a bright red warning sign of a bubble. Watch:
