Keir Starmer says he will take away the power of the PM to make appointments to the House of Lords because public confidence has been reduced after the appointment of party lackeys and donors.
Good. Shut the whole place down.

£3.3bn for the NHS sounds a lot but it's less than 1% increase in funding. How much of that stays within the NHS. I think we should be told how much of 'NHS funding' immediately wing's its way out of the door into the coffers of private providers of clinical services. And while I'm on a rant, how come private hospitals are allowed charitable status while NHS aren't? NHS hospitals pay business rates while charities get an 80% rebate. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Social workers in Derbyshire have apparently been told not to ask the question "Who is the Prime minister?" during dementia assessments as the occupant of this position has changed so often. I generally felt this was an irrelevant question to ask during a very person specific assessment of capacity anyway. How does knowing who the current PM is have any bearing on their understanding of their care needs or deciding their level of risk? Far more important to know if they can make a drink unaided.

Hi everyone. First Post here and first ever. Too scared to post on twitter, I just read and tried to block the crazies.
It will take me a while but eventually I'll get the hang and join in. Apologies in advance for errors.
