Even in platforming our success - there's still more spin.
We're not backing "small boat migrants."
We're backing people - including people who are in desperate circumstances.

Chief executives are now paid hundreds of times more than the people who actually create value in their companies. This is not innovation or entrepreneurship – it is extraction.
In this video, I explain how fair pay ratios could be enforced through the tax system.

I suspect this article framing is a way to criticise the upcoming doctors' strikes.
The real cause for alarm for me is that the NHS is going into this winter stressed and stretched *yet again*.
We should have a health system that can cope much better with winter pressures and we just don’t. 7/8
