Danny Sriskandaraja, "Steve Reed talked about he ideology and the question is why are we paying for the ineptitude of the water companies" #BBCQT
"We're not.. We paying for the ideology of the 1980s moment of deciding to privatise somethings human's can't do without, water"
"Worse still its based on awful economics.. Why would you privatise a service which is effectively a monopoly?"
"This is the biggest heist in plain site.. £85 billion has been paid to the shareholders of water companies.. While we have been treated like cash-cows.. How can that be right"

Before Brexit the UK was about as rich as Germany, and richer than France.
Now it is much poorer than either, by 2030 we will be poorer than Poland, and by 2040 we will be poorer than all 27 EU countries.
The magic of Brexit.

Few people take COVID seriously anymore. Part of this may be from experience - people got COVID a couple times, recovered, and think they're fine - but a lot can be blamed on the media. Here are some tactics the media continues to use to downplay COVID and mislead the public:

I promise you, Trump is watching this rally and throwing shit against the wall, absolutely losing his fucking mind.
He hates how good she’s getting.
He hates that the audience that looks like America instead of a convention of inbred catalytic-converter thieves.

After successfully lobbying to stop the Withnell Health Centre contract being awarded to an unsuitable provider, I am very pleased the right decision has now been reached & Dr Robinson has been awarded the contract.
Many thanks to everyone who has been involved in the campaign.

The National diabetic foot audit data is in;
Our (Salford) diabetic foot ulcer outcomes are twice the UK average!
Not only have we reduced amputation prevalence by 48% in 6 years but for diabetic foot ulcers…
1. Time to first expert assessment (<14 days) is 80% (40% nationally)
2. Alive and Ulcer free at 12 weeks for severe ulcers is 60% (30% nationally)
We’ve shown you can see non-diabetic foot ulcers AND leg ulcers in a ‘diabetic’ foot clinic without compromising diabetes care.
We’re proud that our system change over the past few years is yielding such positive results. We’ve done all this within existing resource and not employed any extra staff.
How? We worked hard to listen, co-design change, build networks and address the barriers to change. We’ve improved care for 210 000 people and now expanding out to over a million through the Manchester Amputation Reduction Strategy (MARS)
The photo before the photo wasn’t Twitter worthy - or so we thought 🤣

First they came for Donald Trump and I… was relieved, as I’d been waiting ages for them to come for Donald Trump.
