NHS Radiology is stuck in a viscous cycle where a failure to recruit radiologists results in a capacity problem, which means departments have to outsource work, cutting the budge that could be spent on recruiting radiologists, while also 'encouraging' radiologists int private practice; you might call this stealth privatisation?

Some Labour MPs recognise the problem with Keir Starmer's direction....
As Rachael Maskell MP notes: 'The people I talk to feel a deep dismay as policy after policy that has come out, which is not Labour politics...
Our usual coalition of support is just melting away, & people who support progressive politics are going to the Greens or Lib Dems because they think they are more progressive, whether it’s on migration or on welfare'!
The Labour left may be about to depart!

Agreed; and that's why the political class is never going to deliver electoral change
Well, some certainly have, but my feeling is there are quite a lot still thinking Labour is the only Left show in town (obviously completely wrongly).... but of course, you may be right, they may have already left & I'm not seeing it from where I sit (which is perfectly plausible)

Fellow EU citizens, please sign this petition to the Commission to consider banning "conversion therapy". This is "therapy" that purports to turn LGBTQ+ people non-LGBTQ+. By telling them that what and who they are is somehow wrong. Let that sink in for a while.

Let's make this Union of ours stand for something. Let's ask the EU to do something that is going to have a direct, positive impact on actual people.
