Still struggling to comprehend what happened yesterday. I know many of my friends and neighbours are terrified. Standing in deep solidarity with the Jewish community and against those perpetrating hate. Devastating for this to happen in our country on this holy day. You are not alone ❤️

We've lifted 150,000 people off waiting lists.

If we can do that in 4 months, imagine what we can do in 4 years, says Wes Streeting at @thefabians.bsky.social New Year Conference.
