Let's do something Putin will hate. Let's rejoin the #EU. And if that means we have to have cheaper food and fuel; the right to live, work, and retire in 31 other countries; higher environmental standards; and peace secured in NI, then that's a price I'm willing to pay...

#JuniorDoctors #strike starts today, and so as before; when your appointment has been cancelled, when your #healthcare has been disrupted, please do not get annoyed at the striking #HealthService staff.
They have gone on strike as a last resort, after years of #tory attrition towards the #NHS and a radical decade long program of defunding of our health service.
Direct your anger & blame towards the #Tories & #JeremyHunt who have been instrumental in causing the #nhscrisis
“Comparisons to the 1930s are deeply inappropriate and tasteless” says Tory MP Simon Clarke.
No, Simon.
Comparisons to 1930s Germany are completely appropriate and needed when govt behaviour demands it. And your ugly rhetoric and illegal Bill demand it. Tasteless to claim otherwise.
@ellapple I wonder re BBC if some of it is due to fear about the future of the licence fee. I listened to a programme about that (on Radio 4, naturally), and it seemed to me that the only viable way forward was going to be making it part of general taxation. Apparently that had been considered right at the outset of the Beeb, but it was rejected on the grounds of fear of government influence (oh the irony).
Since then there have been countries (I forget which) who did take that route, and didn't feel that that had been the outcome, as it was carefully legislated to avoid that - and that might be where the fear lies, that when that does get legislated they want to have given government as little weaponry or excuses as possible to limit their independence.
We shall see, I suppose, because as far as I can see there's really no way the licence fee approach can continue much longer in this streaming age.
