Yes, I know. People are being sent to foreign gulags without due process. RFK Jr. is killing our public health. Trump is driving the economy off a cliff.

But don't let this fall under the radar: DOGE wants *your* personal info sucked into mass systemsโ€”data very tempting for an authoritarian.

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?

once again the health service has been pushed into false economies by the Tory engineered crisis that Labour needs to speedily reverse!

When my daughter trained as a Speech and Language Therapist she had her degree fees paid for and received a bursary. A year or two later these were abolished. Her degree used to be massively oversubscribed and there were plenty of recruits for jobs. Neither of these is now true. OTOH the ยฃ rewards for private therapy work are significant. Drawing staff away from f/t NHS roles. You may argue that we donโ€™t want therapists who are motivated by cash. But they still have to pay the bills

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 itโ€™s on migration or on welfare'!

The Labour left may be about to depart!

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)
