A writer on a hiatus that is so long it's starting to look like a retirement. Lives with Multiple Sclerosis and has survived a stroke.
And Starmer's comment on Housing has directly led me cancel my Labour membership. I'm not on the look for a new party to support because I can't give that showers of tossers my vote

Farage wants to replace the NHS with U.S style insurance schemes. Americans pay twice as much per head as we do for healthcare,yet millions aren't covered. The top health insurance company in the U.S queries 1/3 of claims.1/3 of the money goes to administration. What benefits come from the switch?

I had an appointment to get an Endoscope today and had never seen a ward be so busy and so many people having their issues sorted. The PM isn't popular but he is getting lists dealt with in the NHS it would seem :)

So, NHS waiting times have dropped for the 4th month in a row. I don't think I'd ever go for a pint with Starmer but he's getting the job done not that the media would ever tell you... #NHS #surviving #disability

I'm having a 'MS' day. Tired, grumpy, in pain, and dropping anything that can be dropped. Three consecutive days at hospital this week has drained me of spoons! Better days ahead... #disabilty #MS #spoonthepry #determination

So my #wheelchair was returned and, true to the word, the motors both work. Unfortunately they managed to smash one of the hangers and that means a foot rest swings uncontrollably - another repair call to lodge but at least I got to go to a Christmas market today. #disability
