Maybe we should start paying them better and improve their conditions, that way we may lose less doctors...

    The majority had non dom status and left because of the ending of our almost unique history of having non dom status.

    So what unfair advantage would the fire service receive from the connection of a senior FBU member’s relationship with an MP? What financial gain did the MP, family members or friends receive? You do understand that lobbying is not only legal in the UK it is also seen as healthy to our...

    Breaking news. Labour has a relationship with the unions. She is not trying to enrich herself, family members or friends. She’s trying to achieve extra funding to the fire service, frankly a job all MP’s should be doing. Especially against the backdrop of austerity which cut funding to the fire...

    Boris certainly pledged to plant more trees at the 2019 GE but largely because Corbyn had put it in his manifesto and it was proving to be a popular pledge especially amongst young voters. It was widely reported that they were failing early doors although to be fair we did have the pandemic...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Can anyone explain why if as Trump said they’ve obliterated Irans nuclear weapon development sites why can’t the UN’s nuclear watchdog detect any increase in radiation at these locations? I don’t doubt that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons but I do doubt their ability to to develop...

    Not in real terms. The NHS also had to take up the slack from other areas. The obvious one being mental health services pre austerity largely being supported by local authorities. The NHS, police and prison service all had to pick up the slack at a time when the police force lost 10,000...

    Poor business on the Tories part then as they clearly signed up to a scheme with no get out clause. Thank god they didn’t get in and potentially spend another £9.7 billion on a gimmick that we’d never have gotten back or had any benefit from.

    Ha ha ha, trying it out for a while. Good one. The Tories tried it out for 2 years. They planned on spanking as much of £10 billion on it if re-elected. Labour saved the country £9.7 billion simply by being elected. I bet come the next GE no one will be running on a manifesto to bring it back...
