He says he’s grateful for his NHS care & talks about his humble upbringing & the mindset of family criminals. Yet, here we are talking about lack of ethics & dodgy donations. We’re right back to asking:What does intense unbridled ambition do to character? People do get a 2nd chance but piss it away🤷‍♀️

He should be sacked, surely there should be rules against bribing government officials? And yet there are those who will swear bling that the NHS is not up for sale. This looks dodgy as they come. Link from @goodlawproject.bsky.social goodlawproject.org/health-secre...

I found this thread by George Monbiot, as well as his article quoted, well worth a read. It gets to the heart of the problem of politics in the U.K. at the moment, and some pretty straightforward solutions staring our leaders in the face.

Bay Street bankers are sweating Mark Carney’s rise. Why? Back in ’08, when U.S. banks tanked on risky loans and shady deals, Carney tightened the screws on banks, kept lending in check, and made damn sure their execs didn’t drown in bonuses while the economy burned. #cdnpoli

NHS England was created to fix what Cameron’s government considered a broken system. Now it's being scrapped, having arguably broken it further. Guy Chapman explains why its demise won’t fix things.
