Thirteen(!) ambulances stacked outside A&E at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary at 10.30 a.m. on a Tuesday.
The system is clearly badly broken.

Tory MP Chris Philp: “Keir Starmer has accepted more freebies than any other MP”
I remember when he was just as annoyed his former boss, Boris Johnson, accepted around 64 times the amount Starmer received

I’m seeing lots of people confidently pronounce that today’s good economic numbers prove that Sunak should have waited to call the election later, because the economic uptick would have boosted the Tories.
One problem: that isn’t what happened at all in 2023 or 2024.

The water companies that gave out £78 billion in dividends
Are now proposing water bill rises
How does that make you feel?
After a great time at #odcamp I got back and reflected on missing having done anything with #wikidata. My bad.
So I checked WD for Open Data Camp and found only 2 events of 9 on there. I've added all instances now.
You can find them here

Some items are more complete than others.
Where I could work out geo-coordinates I used those but Winchester, and, I think, Wolverhampton, are approximate.
If the organisers, @ODcamp, have attendance numbers, we could add those as we do for CTC events, for each day.
Hi @johnmcternan - do you know if Labour has anyone at Open Data Camp in Manchester this weekend?
So many great sessions on areas which would benefit new Government's immediate and longer term policy areas.
