DCJonah Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Britons’ earlier deaths linked to NHS underinvestment – study I'm sure refusing to pay doctors and nurses more money will help make this better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 The thing that I don’t understand is that there’s several hundred thousand vacancies in the NHS so you’d assume budget exists for hundreds of millions of headcount. Why not pay the people who are doing the work of more than 1 person a fair salary from that budget? They aren’t filling the roles any time soon, in fact they’ll need more and more people.

If you're still voting for these absolute scumbags then you seriously need to take a hard look at yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we've seen here and in the states that being a vile heartless c*** is no longer a barrier to public office. In fact it is a way to get undying support from certain elements of society.

The Fun Factory Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Hasn't there been a bit of an issue in selecting the candidate as everyone thought it was going to be Shaun Bailey? I fully expect some throbbed to want Johnson to run again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect some throbbed to want Johnson to run again. Don't think anyone expected it to be Bailey. The issue they had is that they think Bailey outperformed expectations last time because nobody knew who he was, so they could turn into a Khan "yes or no" question rather than a comparison of two candidates. They've very deliberately chosen candidates that they can do the same with - hence why Paul Scully, Minister for London was kept off the shortlist - because people know who he is (and wanted to avoid another by-election). At least Daniel Korski will have name recognition now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 This is pretty incredible Quote It could cost an estimated £63,000 more to send a migrant to a "safe country" such as Rwanda than to keep them in the UK, the government has said. An economic impact assessment of the Illegal Migration Bill, which is going through Parliament, found a gross cost of £169,000 to relocate an individual. But the estimated £106,000 spent on housing support if they remained in the UK would be avoided. The government said the policy would also have a deterrent impact. However, the Home Office assessment said it was "uncertain" what level of deterrence impact it would have because the bill was "novel and untested". link It’s funny how the money tree still exists for certain projects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Covid enquiry featuring Matt Hancock is interesting. Quote "The central failure that hampered the UK's response was the refusal and the explicit decision that it would not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic," he says. "That is wrong. That is at the centre of the failure of preparation." He continues: "All of the other considerations are small - important but small, compared with the colossal scale of failure in the assumption that it would not be possible... to stop the spread of a disease." "It's an absolute tragedy," he concludes. It certainly felt that way at the time, and the massive reluctance to do lockdowns etc preferring to “let the bodies pile high”. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not in the Government so there's no position to sack him from. And they're not going to withdrawn the whip from every MP that acts like a bell-end on Twitter. He'll probably be voted out at the next election, so he doesn't "survive" long term. But there's nothing to really be done about it at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accusing her of anti-seminism because she made fun of Gullis in a picture where he's signing something to do with the Holocaust. Absolutely shameless.
