Until 2024, a long-serving NHS Trust CEO. Still active in and around the NHS. Interested in healthcare, equality, news, politics, Ukraine, cricket (Somerset), rugby (Exeter), football (Bristol City) and life.

1/2 One of the reasons this is such a powerful story is the newspaper which published it. The ST has a stable of opinion writers who support almost every stance taken by Reform and they editorialise in their news coverage to the same effect.

If you’re not watching #RSAvENG #Rugby. Well done.

Brilliant performance from England in the semifinal of the Women’s T20 World Cup. Dominant. 🤞for Sunday’s final against Australia.

The U.S. Embassy’s party celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence will bring together ministers, military brass, industry titans and ambassadors in London. But Britain's likely next prime minister, Andy Burnham, is sitting this one out.

I’m supporting Andy Burnham to be the next men’s England Cricket captain now that Ben Stokes has stood aside to make way for him. #Burnham #BenStokes #Cricket

For many years “news” has gone from what HAS happened to what MIGHT happen. Speculation rather than reporting, speculation that often influences events. Last week Reform lost a by election badly and that IS news, it happened, and it’s barely being reported.

Perhaps we should all join the DHSS reenactment society. All dress like it’s 1988 and fax each other memos. Although I think Reform look back to the halcyon days of the 1920/30s when poverty pushed some people to populist politics and there was no NHS.

The UK healthcare system is dominated by vested interests that will destroy it. The powerful players are DHSS civil servants, NHS top managers (jobs with private sector) private providers (via lobbying and donations of politicians) and HM Treasury (who believe health care is a bottomless money sink)

Newspaper readers like me, are suffering all the hot takes on the tragedy of Henry Nowak’s murder and the disgraceful far-right riots in Southampton. Let’s hope that future policy entirely ignores these takes including editorialised news reports. Macpherson took 20 months to complete his report.

“Reform's lawyer says that until all three demands are met, neither Mr Farage nor any representative from Reform UK will appear on any BBC programme or platform.” Let’s hope the BBC take their time. Let’s say 3 years.

Blair’s position on Europe (as opposed to his view on the USA) seems sensible. But it’s a reverse Catch 22 - we should only re-enter the EU from a position of strength, but if we were in a position of strength why would we want to re-enter the EU?

000

I’m going to read Blair’s essay. Whilst, no doubt, I will disagree with much of it - he is the UK’s last largely successful PM, particularly to the electorate (despite Iraq). Worth reading. I also think that a coherent policy position is more important than personality in a new PM, is correct.

In reality this scary rise in prices will be blamed, by voters, on our government rather the governments in Washington and Tehran. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

To be fair, Brexit has been a remarkable success….. ….for these people. Their deceit brought us Brexit 10 years ago and their continuing deceit makes them a healthy living as columnists in a newspaper that was part of the original con.

Completely agree with this. Not saying the media should never do vox pops but they are completely useless in helping us to understand the position of political parties and seeing them challenged though evidence and good research. They are just part of the shallow populist world we seem to suffer.
