Such a good article despite being profoundly depressing.

Yes made for very sobering reading, makes you want to weep.

Hospitals are preparing to cut spending on doctors and nurses by hundreds of millions of pounds after being ordered to plug a £4.5 billion hole in the NHS budget.

Bastards. The government could plug this gap and save so many lives if they chose to.

Flipping heck, what an impossible burden on those two surgeons.

"King's Majora Trauma Centre serves south London, Kent and Medway. 3 locum trauma surgeons have been cut to save cash leaving just 2 trauma surgeons on a 24/7 rota and staff tell me they fear it is unsafe."

Good to see the right wing nut jobs clawing each others eyes out:

I see Tice has threatened Gullis with revealing personal information about him unless Gullis stops posting about Reform.

All very normal.

Ha! Grin

Wonder what information Tice is sitting on.

DuncinToffee · 31/03/2024 15:17

Anderson spilling the beans?

It's funny however it comes accross as blackmail and that is not acceptable.

Yes, Tice is showing what a nasty piece of work he really is. Just the sort of person you want in a position of power.

Well, Angela Rayner had a word for the Tories. What was that again?

newnamethanks · 31/03/2024 22:01

I thought Angela's comment wasn't specific enough. But it'll do for now.

AdamRyan · 31/03/2024 22:14

Oh come on. You can't vote for someone who calls Tories scum. It's so common.

newnamethanks · 31/03/2024 22:30

Fair point AdamRyan but as she wasn't telling desperate people to Fuck Off Back to France or laughing about shooting a Black female MP, I'll stick with common for now. I know I should try for sophistication like Anderson and Hester possess but frankly, I wouldn't measure up to them. Thank god.

If only she’d copied Bevan and called them vermin.

I was being sarcastic! Not very well obvs
It is ridiculous the Tories act so hurt by her saying that, years ago

newnamethanks · 01/04/2024 11:15

I'm sorry @AdamRyan, I know you were. I thought I was supporting your comment, not undermining you, my failure not yours. My apologies. And no Tories are hurt by her perfectly reasonable and quite moderate description of them, it's just another Keir's Beer to them.

The ode to Rishi Sunak at the end of this week's Last Leg made me chuckle. It starts around 45.45.

Had ds and I in hysterics. So clever (and true 🫣)

That's really clever! (And sadly true)

The “overwhelming” question listeners wanted to ask was when the election will be.
