This is so depressing, esp given the sometimes intrusive level of scrutiny NHS trusts face. Private providers used properly play and important role expanding NHS capacity, which shd benefit us all.

35 years since I left Halifax and the post-industrial grimness has finally been shaken off. Traffic free streets, a fabulous new-look Piece Hall and all those great Victoria buildings, somehow saved from the Sixties wrecking balls, look better than ever.

BBC R4 reporter says Starmer's giving speech about "putting thousands more bobbies on the beat". I really hope he's not. No one talks like that any more.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Fantastic article by @tomcalver.bsky.social: not only is the UK not a high-tax country, taxes on middle-income earners are low by international standards. If taxes are to rise - and they should - it can't/won't be just on "the rich". www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Nearly all stories I see about so-called two-tier justice, over-policing and so on are just tedious wailing by folk with an axe to grind. This raid at the Quaker Meeting House, however, is shockingly heavy-handedly, anti-democratic and will dismay most right-thinking people.

The press have caught up with this awful story of a violent police raid on a Quaker meeting house - front page of the Sunday Times today. Beautiful line from a Quaker Elder “The only resistance I could put up was to make tea and drink it in front of them without offering them any.” archive.ph/Ndh1z

Rachel Reeves v good on BBC's Kuenssberg this morning. Agree or not, she has a her story straight, easily batting aside Laura's all too predictable questions (who ignored RR's ref to May's Euro trade summit) #laurak
