With impunity… I’m sure you’d take a different view if this happened to the Democrat presumptive presidential nominee under a Republican administration. Trump joked that he’d send Clinton to jail before the 2016 election, he didn’t try to prosecute the Clintons. The cat is out the bag and...

Exactly - it’s not a good either way. I don’t think they should’ve went after Trump, especially in an election year and likewise with Hunter Biden. Both sides of the political spectrum have accused the other of ‘stealing’ the elections in 2016 and 2020. It undermines and polarises the...

I disagree and the one area of politics that’s genuinely interesting to me is election, how they’re fought and so on. Disunited political parties rarely win general elections in Europe and in the USA. This could be an issue that blows over in a week but as the policies start to be announced and...

Ok, we’ll see how this plays out in the election… 😊 No need for quite a nasty response tbh. Do you go round telling people they’ve OD’d on drugs in person or only when you’re behind your smartphone or keyboard?

Exactly and the party then wasn’t fit for office. Factional infighting is not befitting of a government. The Tories are infighting because they’ve been in government for so long and not achieved a whole lot. Labour really ought to bury all hatchets and get the election over and done. One week...

No, they’ll react by vindictively trying to prosecute Democrats whenever and wherever they get the chance. Put aside any personal feelings towards Trump and this is a truly worrying precedent to set. A can of worms has been opened. The political environment is far more polarised in the USA and...

Back to the UK election now, I just find it miraculous that Labour is deciding to have petty ‘civil war’ over Diane Abbott at the start of a general election campaign. Rayner (and others) undermining Starmer is ridiculous. You’re on the cusp of forming the next government if you don’t fuck it...

To be fair, socialist and communist regimes don’t have the best records on LGBT right… The iconic Che Guevara was involved in persecuting homosexuals after the Cuban Revolution. Perhaps your tongue-in-cheek quote is right? 😉

What’s he got on the money? What have I missed?

He played most games as a CM last season both he and Browne can play DM, CM and AM apparently.

This was interesting and I'm glad you shared it. One of the advantages the NHS has is its integration and centralised database of patient records. I don't think anyone can argue with the poor morale and lack of equipment impacting productivity. It's the funding model that is unsustainable in...

How much more money do we need to give the NHS what it needs and how do we fund that? Bear in mind the cost is already 40% of all government expenditure. The last question, how much is too much? Healthcare isn’t the only public service to fund Ultimately, as long as healthcare is free to the...

So the issues regarding the NHS is purely funding and more money would make all the issues go away? Have I understood you correctly?

The NHS is underfunded, you’re right. The argument is this: is our current funding model sustainable? We need more hospitals We need more frontline staff We need more equipment Our clinical staff deserve higher wages and better working conditions Now, this will cost a lot of money and the NHS...

No, most European systems have universal social insurance systems that is free at the point of use. The funding model is slughtly Singapore has a mandatory health savings that functions similar to NI but patients can withdraw that to pay for private care should they need. Australia utilises a...

That’s such a blatant politicians answer. Do you accept the NHS doesn’t achieve the best health outcomes in Europe if you’re shifting the blame on poverty on the outcomes? Does the NHS and Britain as a country have nothing to learn from anyone else? Come on, don’t back down now when you’ve...

Since you’ve done your research and appear to to be an expert, I’d like your help support answering the following: 1. Why is the UK the only country in the developed world to fund healthcare via direct taxation? 2. Where do our healthcare outcomes compare internationally? Pre-2010 as well as...

Yes, every doctor and physio I know who works in the NHS seems to think there’s too much middle management. All of whom, for your context, are of the Labour left / Greens.

My point now is that you look rather silly for telling me to ‘do some real research’ for citing one Telegraph article which was probably quoting the NHS itself. This is what happens when you dismiss a source bc you don’t like it rather than the merits of what it’s saying.

We’re all ‘legacy’ fans according to the big wigs and analysts at these big Prem clubs. Unfortunately.
