So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda. For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax” 🚜🌾 vs. 🧐💰

How many times do I need to say this? These are not expats, they are immigrants. You don’t “expat” somewhere, you emigrate, and that makes you an immigrant. I have never heard anyone refer to “Bangladeshi Expats” or “Polish Expats”, it’s always immigrants, so why not here?

Phone is buzzing this weekend with campaigns and MPs on both sides of the assisted dying debate. Been a long time since I’ve known a vote in Parliament that’s attracting this level of passion and lobbying. Think not since the Brexit years.

I have been a doctor for over 4 years now. Working in general practice is rewarding, and I wouldn’t change my job. However, the complexity of the work is immense. Articles like this make me wonder why we continue when we are demonised no matter how hard we work. When did GPs become the enemy?

I never know how helpful 'Imagine ifs' are - although I am partial to reminding people of the media meltdowns when Diane Abbott had a mojito on a train - but seriously, imagine a major Labour politician publicly advertising this level of pant-wetting ignorance. He is shadow Justice Secretary ffs.

Average annual energy bill to rise by £21 to £1,738 from January. One of the highest prices in the world. No curbs on profiteering - oil, gas, energy companies making record profits, fueling poverty, business costs. Profiteers also get public subsidies. www.theguardian.com/money/2024/n...

Sir Tom wrote a book which he said was to raise funds for the NHS. He died, his daughter made herself head of his charity, and gave the entire £1.47m raised to herself. We really should be talking about prison.

Following the ICC's arrest warrants, the Independent Alliance have written to the Prime Minister asking if he will comply with the ruling. The UK government must decide: is it on the side of Israeli impunity or international law?

The farmers protesting with Nigel Farage is as embarrassing as anyone with a mortgage protesting with Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng. No shame or no intelligence. Probably, both.
