Imagine you’re PM of the UK like Sunak and were chancellor before that and helped shifting billions and billions of pounds away from the NHS, the populationsā€˜ Health System that the people of the UK finance via their tax. Away from patients, us. And then you shift it to your political Tory-mates, your own wife, to your father-in-law, to your grifter Banker mates. PPE VIP lane. PPE that never worked and therefore caused deaths of staff by the delay that corruption caused (Mone etc). And then you have the guts to say you gave the NHS ā€žrecord fundingā€œ,but you don’t say that 131 billion pounds of your privatization-grifting is in that funding. And you delete WhatsApp messages from the time, you cover up what your closest ministers like Hancock, Gove, Patel, Jenrick etc etc etc have done. And you lie and say you can’t remember what happened here and there in front of a committee. And you do all of the above during the UKā€˜s largest Public Health Emergency, the pandemic, you actively contribute to higher death rates (in fact the fifth highest in the world), you spend 131 billions pounds (between April 2020 and September 2021 alone!) - and then you have the cheek and insult to say to the Public in interviews repeatedly that ā€œa General Election is not what the British People wantā€. How low can you be, what despicable character you have to have, in order to act like that. The people of the UK want you out of politics, Sunak, never return to it, and then charges for Treason and Fraud and then criminal proceedings, Sunak. What a despicable Party the Tories are. They know no mercy for anyone in their brutal treatment of the population in the pandemic and of nature: to pollute the entire eco-system of the UK with toxic sewage: for profit of foreign shareholders - shame on you, Sunak, shame on you, Tories. And those who voted for the Tories again last Thursday: You’re complicit in this. Don’t do this again in the General Election. What else has to happen in the UK to Convince you after 232000 deaths, many of them avoidable? After beaches, lakes, rivers and national parks full of sewage, tortured refugees being sent to an unsafe country, the right to strike and protest having been largely demolished, the international reputation completely ruined and the UK being made a laughing stock after unnecessary but intentional Brexit by the Tories. Crumbling schools , closed fire and police stations, shut youth centres, dentists, Vets, libraries? Bankrupted councils and GP’s, completely burnout work force in the NHS and Care, farmers driving into London out of protests, the Hospitality sector on its knees, 300 Pubs closing every three months in the UK. WHAT ELSE needs to happen to convince you Tory-Voters that you have made the wrong political choices ober 14 years and that you have enabled toxic clowns and fraudster bankers to come into power who rob and take what they can. History will judge you, too. #GetTheToriesOut #GeneralElectionNOW
Rishi Sunak says no-one wants an Election, RT if you do. He's afraid of an Election, because he will lose.

Suella Braverman, "Conservative voters are saying to me: we're life long voters of the Conservative party but you're not a Conservative party any more and we can't vote for you... Sunak needs to lower taxes.. Cap legal migration.. Take us out of the ECHR.. That's how you send the message that he's serious about stopping the boats" Errr, no. Hola. Life-long Conservative voter here, well up until David Cameron (don't hate me šŸ‘€) āž”ļø We don't need lower taxes. We need to increase the tax free allowance for the lowest earners so they can keep and spend more of their income, which will help pull many out of poverty. We need higher taxes for the rich and super rich to help fund public services. We should also end non-dom allowances, and take back every penny of covid loan support given to companies that are based off shore and do not pay UK-taxes. We should also be part of a global initiative that taxes large corporates a higher rate of tax if they off shore. āž”ļø If we have a staff shortage, which we do, we don't need to cap legal migration, we need to incentivise people to come to the UK and work here. They will all pay tax/NI and they will all contribute to our society. If we do not have enough school spaces, GPs, have pot holes in our roads, etc. these are not because of legal migrants, these issue arise because government policy has not invested in these facilities. Don't blame migrants for Conservative party policy decisions and failures āž”ļø As a former Conservative voter, I don't want to leave the ECHR, I want the UK to behave in a way which fits within simple standards of international rules and law making. That means, staying in the ECHR and finding other solutions to addressing asylum seekers Most of the people I know who have stopped voting Conservative have stopped because the party is moving further to the right and no longer represents the values demonstrated by the likes of John Major, Dominic Grieve, Anna Soubry, Rory Stewart and many others

Some Brexiters have got in touch to tell me I’m making stuff up when I say that Vote Leave campaigned on the idea that Brexit would mean shorter wait times for medical treatment. So, here is the evidence:

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

Is there a version of Wordle where the words are spelt correctly? Rather than the incorrect American way? #wherestheU
Here are 21 defining principles of the Johnson guide to government. I'm sure there are more. 1) Accept responsibility for nothing.

Trying hard to remain calm about my order from IKEA. Got a new delivery date which means it will take them 2 months to deliver stuff they already had in stock. On hold atm 35 mins and counting. Pathetic #IKEA #IKEAUK

So, in 2016, every extra DAY missed from school had an impact on the chance of good GCSE grades. Four years later it appears that missing MONTHS of school doesn’t affect those grades.

And it appears Labour aren’t immune from stupidity by suggesting bolstering grades by region will ā€˜level the playing field’ - no it won’t!
And a quick (final) decision would be good too. No U-turns or mutant algorithms to screw things up so the kids all know where they stand.... #gcse2021

As I have boys studying both A levels and GCSEs with exams next summer I’m increasingly worried by the lack of any government plan. Looks like another ā€œalgorithm cock upā€ for youngsters is looming
The Government needs to ensure that the chaos of last year's exams is not repeated. ā°Time is running out. Help make Government listen. Share this video and sign our petition šŸ‘‰bit.ly/2RoxvNN #FairGrade2021

Still trying to sort out tax paid by my 14yr old last year. Left it while HMRC were dealing with the initial rush of COVID-related issues but thought I’d try again. The phone line said try webchat. Not impressed with this page for all sorts of design reasons.

Do I just wait? Been here over 2 hours and nothing... do I refresh the page? Is there a queue? Where am I in the queue? Can I not post my initial query to get things started? It says an adviser ā€˜may become available’ - wow, there’s expectation setting for you

What happened to Gov.uk GDS design principles @hmrc?
