One A&E consultant said:
“We're not just running out of cubicles; we're running out of corridors. And we‘ve run out of trollies."
Govt must recognise the true scale of need in our NHS this winter and act to support the services we all rely upon.

The 10-Year Health Plan is desperately needed, but we must also remember the damage Brexit has caused to the NHS.

Govt's 10 year NHS Plan deepens privatisation.
Govt "will enter discussions enter with private providers".
Pushes PFI. For every £1 investment public purse repays £6 or more. NHS already suffering previous PFI.
Corporate profits guaranteed. We pay more for less.
Say NO to privatisation.

America is just going backwards in human rights and standards of living. Its not great. Feel pity for all women living in Handmaidens Tale Land.

George Floyd should be alive today.
He should be raising his daughter, living his life.
5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags.
His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.”
Let’s stop failing her, and him.
Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
Having a president and government who don't care about the people is appalling. Letting people deliberately suffer is just sickening. America not doing so great at all.
