What a tragedy. The NHS is not failing; it is being failed. Whether ethics, health equity or access to care, the NHS has historically been a model for efficient care. However, it needs resources, staff and protection, and has been neglected by this government.
I found this bit of the speech pretty worrying as it could mean anything! Are we scrapping environmental regulations? What about EU regs that are now UK law? What about laws which we’ve been told would be continued as UK regulations…

Govt have today published very worrying new guidance on Investment Zones
Ministers appear willing to consider Investment Zones covering SSSIs & National Parks
And guidance includes mention of "a new streamlined planning system"

Another astonishing story from the scoop machine that is @Gabriel_Pogrund - so in other words a paid lobbyist is the chief of staff to the British PM
EXCL: Liz Truss chief of staff is being paid his salary via his lobbying firm and is only "seconded" to No10 in arrangement he won't explain
Mark Fullbrook says he's not using company for tax benefit days after govt junked IR35 reforms to make this easier

Still deeply troubled by Truss observation that "So many Jewish values are Conservative values and British values too." Which Jewish values aren't British values then?

As I just mentioned to someone on here, this is the first time I have genuinely felt that Labour might lose the next general election. What a grim misreading of the mood.

Here's your reminder that banks give billions to the fossil fuel corporations that are causing the climate crisis.
Without their money, fossil fuels would go out of business. #EndFossilFinance

Unashamed lies. Unbounded contempt for voters. Unconcerned by the pandemic. Unconscious of the sacrifices of ordinary people over the last 2 years. Unfit for office. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

It took 42 minutes of the press conference until a mention of #LongCovid and only once. Policy decisions continue to ignore long-term impact.

Looks like @TotalEnergies are feeling the heat!
Right now, they're removing ALL critical comments on their facebook page.
Total doesn't want to be called out on their climate-wrecking profits.
Let's make sure they can't ignore us - RT now! #StopTotal #OOTT

Energy price hikes announced on the same day that oil giant Shell reports highest profits in 8 years.
There's something very wrong with a system that allows this to happen.
We need to tackle the root causes of this crisis. We need a Green New Deal --> 350.org/uk/

The scam of 'net zero by 2050' demonstrated again:
1) Bristol airport gets the go ahead for expansion.
2) Govt approves development of Abigail Oil field in the N.Sea.
Just turn up the 'Negative emission' dial & all is rosy - i.e. we pass our mitigation burden on to our children.

It’s time for Scots to confront role in India: "Scotland’s role in the colonial exploitation of India should be taught in schools... Dalrymple argues that younger generations are largely unaware of the shameful episode in the nation’s past."
