Another great issue with an excellent cover CD.

This is a cracking good issue from cover to cover, and the CD is great.

Depends. Books from a secondhand bookshop can smell...interesting.

Sajid Javid has called for patients to pay for GP and A&E visits. This is what the Conservatives have in store for us all. We strongly oppose anything that might prevent or dissuade someone from seeking the care they need. Please RT if you do too. theguardian.com/politics/202…

This just gets worse. The gowns were not packaged in a way that would keep them sterile so were useless. Mone's family made £70M from these deals. Whole idea of a VIP lane for friends of government to get contracts is corrupt. Where are the police? theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

Unelected prime minister tells elected union leaders that a majority vote is not a good enough mandate for a strike

Pls don’t let the govt gaslight you into thinking it’s ‘normal’ for patients to be dying in their droves at home, in ambulances, in corridors, in cupboards. Excess deaths are 26% higher than usual. This isn’t normal, it’s grotesque. A humanitarian crisis, yet Sunak does nothing.

They know full well this is unworkable. It's another attempt to find a dividing line. But being prepared to fire nurses is probably not the side of the line you want to be on.
BREAKING: Government confirms new anti-strike laws to enforce “minimum level service” during industrial action. Will apply across key public services including rail, health and education.

I still can’t quite believe that as we hit 2,500 EXTRA deaths per week - due mainly to insufficient access to basic medical care - that Sunak and his govt have decided to do absolutely NOTHING.

I can’t help feeling that the Conservative Party has no interest in governing the UK, they are AWOL while the country’s infrastructure grumbles after a decade of austerity.

It’s like the late 90s over again, a decade or Tory misrule, sleaze and corruption (but far, far worse) with the hope of renewal under Labour. I fear not until 2024.

My natural optimism hopes that 2023 will be better than 2022, but my realism suggests that with the Tory non-Government at the helm, everything will continue to deteriorate apace.

We don’t actually have a Government that is willing to govern.

Johnson was not betrayed - stabbed in the back - as he would like you to believe. As Ian Hislop points out, he was STABBED IN THE FRONT BY HIS OWN MINISTERS. Not because he lied - they didn’t mind that, they cared only about power - but because VOTERS HAD SEEN THROUGH HIS LIES.
