The only acceptable Keynesianism to the Labour right is military / weaponised Keynesianism. Impossible to harness state capacity for jobs & infrastructure in eg the NHS, council housing, social care or education. But loadsa cash to funnel to arms manufacturers to build munitions that'll gather dust

I find it weird that anyone would listen to Rory Stewart on anything, but especially economic policy given his support for austerity economics and the outcome of that being a tanked economy *and* hundreds of thousands of dead people

Gambling addicts risk losing ‘life-saving’ help due to funding overhaul, say UK charities
Specialist clinics and support groups call for government emergency support due to delays caused by new levy system
Gambling addicts are at risk of missing out on “life-saving” help unless the government provides emergency support, charities have warned, after an overhaul of funding left treatment providers facing a cash crunch.
Until this year, money for problem gambling research, education and treatment had been provided on a voluntary basis by casinos and bookmakers who contributed about 0.1% of their takings. Continue reading...

Hey, you know how we make lots and lots of money of an unjust and unfair system? And those shafted by the system need medicine to tolerate it? I think we can make even *more* money by stopping them having that medicine! There are no concievable consequences to this plan!

It is comical how disliked Wes Streeting is by everyone other than Labour MPs and centrist journalists.
I'm not sure even they actually like him, they just see him as "electoral dynamite" for reasons that are beyond the rest of us.
Even a paper-thin win at the last election didn't change this.

Pay attention to whose flirtations with Nazism and Hitler worship are to be endlessly indulged and forgiven, and whose liking a Facebook comment five years ago are regarded as utterly disqualifying. Does that give us any information about how things work?

Interesting thing to take away here.
BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded.
And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔

Ah yes we're doing antisemitic conspiracy theory against the Jewish leader of the highest profile left party in the country, cool cool cool.
The #ItWasAScam crowd have allowed the Right's framing of the war on Corbynism to seep into their souls, turning them into a mockery of actual socialists.

Just looked this up: Palestine tried to join the European Broadcasting Union in 2012 but was rejected because the International Telecommunications Union has not recognised Palestine as a part of the European Broadcasting Area but does recognise Israel.
Israel also blew up the HQ of the PBC in 2002.

On reflection I think it would have been smarter to demand that Palestine be included in Eurovision rather than Israel be excluded. It would have shown that the real international boycott is not of Israel but of Palestine, whose right to exist is constantly denied.

Apparently this is the wrong answer, so Wes Streeting is launching another review by a team picked to deliver a more convenient answer 🙄
Whichever review gives the answer they want will be hailed as "gold standard science", the other will be ignored.

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."

all available evidence suggests that neurodivergence is underdiagnosed.
so why is wes streeting conducting a review based on the presumption of overdiagnosis?
bcos he read about it on x and he thinks what he reads on there is more likely to be true than what experts in healthcare tell him.
