Flu positive rate rose to 11.6% weekending Nov 25 (from 10.7%). Health chiefs said the highest positivity was in children aged 5–14.

Why are Tories not being hauled over the coals about this.
They said 350m could be saved and given to NHS.

Yet Labour getting trolled at budget.

David Davis said there wouldn't be a single downside to Brexit.
Yorkshire Bylines recorded >2,000 of them from 2021-2024.
