"One patient on Monday ended up spending 39 hours in the [Wellington Hospital] emergency department but there had been previous cases of 100 hours."

100 hours. That's more than 4 days. Waiting to be seen in the *emergency* department at our capital city's main hospital. WTF.

Tory MP pleads for help ahead of local elections after discovering he has no valid form of Voter ID

Campaign groups have warned that controversial voter ID rules may prevent people from voting

The Independent

I'm not voting #Labour in May. Mainly because, despite the positive changes made by #TomHunt, I still see them as focusing on the short term (kowtowing to #petrolheads for example) rather than the long term (lower #emissions means improved #publichealth). For me, it's still all a bit white middle aged working man's club (if the comments on the councils Fb page are anything to go by), which is too exclusionary for my taste.

Can Labour win back Sheffield?

‘The party did want our votes but didn’t want to hear what we had to say’

Sheffield Tribune
I don’t feel a shed of pity for #tomhunt MP feeling fed with all these marches and protests, as he says. He is in Westminster to uphold the rights of everyone and not just his personal prejudices.
Tom Hunt, another entitled Tory MP that doesn’t like to hear the truth. If you don’t want to be accused of fascist rhetoric maybe don’t do it. The truth is there for everybody to see #KeepFightingFascism #TomHunt #PoliticsLive

Our local Tory MP #TomHunt (rhymes with ...) just sent me an alleged survey questionnaire which is really a thinly-disguised piece of race-bating.

Immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers are all conflated into a handy hate-em-all category of "not wanted here" by these hatemongers.

What bothers me most is that it was addressed to me by name. This tells me that, somewhere in the Conservative Party Data Mines, I'm on one of their lists, like a bloody paedophile.
