There appears to be no reporting whatsoever in the MSM on the fact that NHS waiting lists are the lowest in three years thanks to the govt focusing on the most impoverished areas of the UK.

Waiting lists cut three times faster in highest joblessness areas
Waiting lists in 20 areas in England fall three times faster than the national average thanks to experts deployed by government to help supercharge NHS care.

From my first catechism lesson in 1960, i believed that God loved all of us. Many confused moments later, i can say that this new pope is bringing the same clarity back. It is that simple. No one here gets to change that rule. Wealth and power has earthly limitations. Sorry.

Law’s journey into Green politics reminds me of my own, 12 years ago, when I was looking for some kindness & campaigning/NHS support - the Labour Party was treating me like I should shut up & stick to making sandwiches, the Greens were a) kind & b) had me speaking in front of 400 people within weeks

It doesn't have to be like this: with a bit of thought, we could satisfy our timber needs AND have huge tracts of natural forest ecosystems, bursting with life.

The greatest hero of course, is Ahmed al Ahmed, the Syrian Muslim fruit shop owner who was seriously wounded disarming the gunman and saving many lives. He seems to have faded a bit from the story because his actions don't support the narrative that support for Palestinians generates antisemitism.

So, you ask, if they can’t just do a simple thing like release the files as the law requires, how can we trust them to do hard things like run the economy and keep us safe?
The answer, of course, is that we can’t. We can never trust they can and will do the right thing.
