It may be too early to call it but I think that misinformation & disinformation are going to be in the top 5 of those who won during COVID. It's thanks to them that the following are still somehow deemed to be contentious: 1. COVID is airborne 2. Masks work & are essential. (1/7)

I want a future where we stop falsely blaming immigration for the destruction of public services that has been driven by your ugly ideologies that don’t support me, my family or patients. I’ve already seen the last 9 years of worsening hospitals, fewer police and school cuts.
I want a future where Brexit is done and we’re focusing on the issues that matter to you and your family. A future with better hospitals, safer streets, world-class schools and a strong economy.

1. Don’t thank us. 2. Don’t blame patients. 3. Own this. 4. You’ve been in power for *nine* years, for heaven’s sake. 5. And your NHS underfunding, understaffing & deliberate, strategic, managed decline has run us into the ground. How can you not hang your head in shame?
Challenging NHS stats out this morning reflecting unprecedented demand for NHS services. Huge thanks to every member of staff in the NHS who do so much to serve.

Lack of humanity for children, another reason not to vote for this dreadful government. “Patel, Wallace and chancellor Sajid Javid felt the children posed “security concerns”. Really !!!! Bromsgrove take note ⁦@djnicholl⁩ is a much better bet theguardian.com/politics/201…

My colleague Sir John Curtice has a brain the size of Cornwall. But he also has the ability to make things really, really simple (this is unusual). So take a look at what he thinks this election is all about, because this clip makes it all clear:

Could we pls focus on the last 9 of those years? In that time, your govt has: 🔹Cut 15k beds 🔹Cut half all district nurses 🔹Cut 6k mental health nurses 🔹Caused soaring ED & cancer waits 🔹Forced junior drs to strike 🔹Decimated staff morale A track record of utter shame.

Conservatives have run the NHS for 44 of its 71 years And now, we Conservatives are giving the NHS it’s longest and largest rise in funding in a generation - only possible thanks to the strong economy Conservatives are the party of the NHS

Terrifying and sad to see #boltonfire It's hard to believe the government cares when we already know: 309 Conservative MPs voted against legislation to make housing 'fit for human habitation' No work had started to remove #cladding from 221 High-rises 2 YEARS after Grenfell💚

It’s deeply depressing that so many politicians are either refusing to answer questions in interviews or avoiding interviews altogether. Surely an election campaign in a functioning democracy is about being prepared to be challenged on your policies so voters can decide? #GE2019

There’s a vital statistic you’ve omitted, Mr Hancock. Over 4 million people are now stuck on waiting lists for NHS operations. The highest number since records began. Untold misery for patients. Anguish for doctors like me. You are underfunding our NHS into oblivion 😔
More operations, less cancellations. Just another reason to #VoteConservative

'We simply cannot wait until the next tax year for a solution. Every week the issue remains, more hard-working doctors will reduce their hours, driving up waiting times for patients and driving down staff morale.' says @bodgoddard in today's @MailOnline: dailymail.co.uk/health/artic…
