After thirteen years of failure, the Conservative Government handed control of NHS dentistry to local "Integrated Care Partnerships".
Less than six months later, Lostwithiel is the first NHS dentist to sign an innovative new contract.

Boris Johnson claims a "kangaroo court" has "forced" him out of Parliament.
In fact the committee only makes a recommendation.
650 MPs can only suspend him for a few days.
Only the voters in his constituency can "force" him out.
But apparently he doesn't want to ask them...
Correction: The state can't do its job properly due to short-sighted funding cuts, so the populist politician seeks to create a false division between "the good people" and "the bureaucratic elite". In fact they both want to see the back of a failing Conservative Government.

Voter fraud just got easier! If someone says they're not going to vote, you can apply for an "emergency proxy vote" to cast on their behalf. Previously an employer or doctor had to verify the emergency. But the new #VoterID law allows you to self-certify the emergency of LOST ID!
One Cornish Conservative MP stands up to boast that after thirteen years in power, they are now *MEASURING* most of the sewage being dumped in our rivers and seas. Wow. Then all six of them voted against doing anything to stop it! #SewageScandal

I have no opinion whatsoever on Dr Virr's performance as an NHS employee. My criticism of Cllr Virr relates entirely to his performance as a Cabinet Member.
A coal mine which claims to be "net zero" by ignoring the emissions from coal is as crazy as @CornwallCouncil's claim to make the airport it owns "net zero" by ignoring the emissions from aeroplanes 🤦🏻♂️

The most shocking thing about the sewage being pumped onto our beaches is that it's LEGAL!
Only six people in Cornwall have the power to stop this @DerekThomasUK @thisischerilyn @stevedouble @scottmann4NC @SheryllMurray (Ex environment secretary George Eustace has quit Twitter)
‘90% rain’ yeah…”SWW sewage discharge this morning at StAgnes. Unbelievable. A dad just got out this arvo and said to his 3 year old ‘Best wash the sewage off…’ It is still stinking. No way am I surfing in that.

Yet another new Conservative PM, taking over at a time of crisis and uncertainty, asking the public to trust them to sort out the mess left by the last Conservative PM!
What the country needs is a general election to get the Conservatives out of Downing Street altogether!

Honestly, when we sent her in undercover, we never thought it would work this well. As we celebrate/mourn today 100 years since the last Liberal PM, Agent Liz is ensuring that the Conservatives now get their opportunity to have a century out of power…
A new, independent online newspaper for Cornwall has chosen to cover the housing crisis as its very first story.

2017: Poor coordination between @CornwallCouncil and @RCHTWeCare caused delays in patients getting the packages of social care they needed in order to leave hospital safely.
Result: NINE ambulances queued up outside Emergency Department (1/4) – at United Kingdom
2021: @Conservatives win election and put Cllr Andy Virr in charge of Social Care AND Public Health; he does the job PART-TIME alongside 2nd job as Emergency Department consultant. His budget spirals out of control and three top Social Care officers quit within a year. (3/4)
Today: @CornwallCouncil Social Care is in meltdown; 200 people stranded in hospital.
TWENTY ambulances queue to unload patients.
999 response time for heart attack is now over 2 HOURS!
Cabinet Member for Social Care is not a part-time job!
#VirrOut (4/4)
There's nothing quite like hearing an election result and knowing you helped make it happen.
It took 1,700 volunteers and 850,000 leaflets to win in Tiverton, and now I need YOUR help to win in Cornwall.

The Conservative Council has totally lost its grip on Adult Social Care. Spending is up by £60m but huge amounts are being wasted. The top three officers have quit and hundreds of people are left without care. Healthy patients can't get out of hospital, so sick ones can't get in.
In early 2020, COVID hit the whole world, but only the UK had the benefit of doing a Brexit. The results speak for themselves... #BrexitOpportunities
