This is how Quisling "Labour" betrays the NHS.

The Starmer/Reeves gang, like the Blair/Brown gang, poisons the NHS with huge PFI debts. Then steals it with more thieving privatisation. And apathetic mugs let them do it.

Thousands of Palestinian HOSTAGES referred to as "detainees" and "prisoners". Occupied Palestine as "the territories".

Absolutely delighted with it. Once initial teething problems are sorted the fans will settle in to new matchgoing routines. It's a superb venue, one of the best in Europe.

Glad to leave Goodison. Some slight nostalgia but no regrets whatever. It was well past its sell by date.
