He doesn’t like it up him!
I did, I made my point on surveillance?
Nothing to make a right wing argument on when it’s just character assassinations.
“This ones rich so we don’t like him”.
Wow, with arguments like that the Trots may well get in.
Don’t have a non-emergency health problem in St Helens.
An NHS commissioning group has proposed a temporary ban on non-vital operations in a bid to tackle funding problems.
St Helens Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in Merseyside could suspend all non-essential hospital referrals for four months during the winter.
The CCG’s lay chair, Geoffrey Appleton, said the group recognises the move “won’t be popular” but is facing a funding gap of £12.5m this year.
The British Medical Association (BMA) called the move “unacceptable”.
I won’t post the rest them… Jeez. Boris did say that though…
PS - What do you expect from an article from Socialist Worker?
It’s okay, the NHS is only pressured because of foreigners and we’ve sorted all that - and it’s going to get a massive financial boost as soon as May pulls her finger out on the EU.
Apparently.

Don’t we have to Leave first? 
Or get Prime Minister Johnson’s approval?
Don’t worry, the Leave poster boy has power and the wheels will soon be set in motion to clear foreign staff from the NHS - the 52% will get what they asked for.

The BMA are not happy about not urgent operations being cancelled? Remind me, what did their strike action result in?
Tongue firmly in cheek
Postponements.
St Helens CCG look like they might have permanent problems.
So is the St Helens one albeit 4 months.
Energy policy is fucked, then.
I don’t see us doing a great trade deal with China anytime soon.
But I thought if we left the EU then…oh, nevermind.

The beautiful thing about this?
There was a news story today concerning the fact that for the first time, Scottish wind power provided leccy for the entire country (EDIT: Scotland, not UK).
Remember when Dodgy Dave used to swerve about on a bike positioning himself as environmentally friendly?

Wind power may work well for one day but it’s not the answer.
ah, Bowie’s final single.
We could be wind-powered, just for one day.
We were reassured by Jeremy Hunt that the impending exodus of junior doctors was scaremongering. We were reassured that people won’t vote with their feet – despite the high number of disgruntled medics requesting their Certificate of Good Standing, the document that allows them to leave the UK and practice elsewhere, during the junior doctors’ dispute.
Incentives were put forward for doctors to train in under filled specialities by the last Tory government – but this hasn’t worked. Hunt has essentially pushed medics out of NHS training and into a tin can in the sky towards a sunnier climate in the Southern Hemisphere.
The news that an NHS hospital is being forced to shut down its A&E department due to staff shortages didn’t come as a surprise to me. This is not the first department to struggle and it won’t be the last.
