Great news that the maternity unit at Whittington Hospital has been saved after a vigorous campaign by Labour in Islington. Only Labour can save the NHS. #SaveWhittingtonMaternity

The Conservatives 'doubled the national debt', meaning debt interest payments now stand at £105.2 billion this year - more than is allocated to Defence, the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice combined. We need to stop kicking the can for future generations to pick up.

This is a scandal. With far fewer resources many of this kids could be educated in a mainstream setting. Private companies cash in on demand for special-needs schools www.thetimes.com/article/e19b...

Apple TV is losing $1bn a year. The advantage of having a parent company with deep pockets, but for how long will they tolerate such losses?

I could sing the praises of so many staff @uclh.bsky.social but Carol, the 78-year-old nurse who looked after me as I came out of surgery typifies the compassion and brilliance found here. Love the NHS.

A ridiculous headline. I have many friends in the civil service who would love to see backroom bureaucrats pared back in favour of frontline services.

Undercover Police Scandal was a brave commission for which ITV deserves great credit. A prime time slot for a documentary that was never going to be a ratings blockbuster, but a really important story that needs to be told @itvx.com

In recent years I’ve had two epic family holidays in the US. We had planned more, but will now not return until Trump has gone. He’s turning a wonderful country into a pariah nation.

I’m a BAFTA member and big fan of the organisation, but this year the Oscars made all the right calls and made BAFTA members look old-fashioned in their selections. Anora is a deserving winner.

I think this week has shown appeasement won’t work. The pandering to Trump must end — it only encourages his tyranny www.thetimes.com/article/5d18...

The best personal response to the Government’s cut to the aid budget is to ensure that you give at least 0.7% of your income to internationally focused charities.
