‘This is our last chance to keep the NHS as it was entrusted to us’ - theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
before anyone points to BoJo saying the NHS is not for sale, I'm very aware of the mechanics of asset stripping, the amount of land that has been identified for sale and how the NHS is destined to be flogged off without ever being put up for "sale" ... it's an ongoing process ...
... so yes, you can technically say "it's not for sale" whilst asset stripping the entire system so it no longer exists. Focus on the end result.

Regardless of whether this breaches electoral rules, it can certainly influence peoples decision to vote.

Much of this campaign from outrage to misleading ads has been about disenfranchising voters.

Your vote matters. Ignore what is said, make your voice heard. Vote tomorrow.
For reference ...

1.9 Anyone attending an opening session must not attempt to see how individual ballot papers have been
marked. It follows therefore that keeping a tally of how ballot
papers have been marked is not allowed.

...
1.10 anyone attending a postal vote opening must not attempt to look at identifying marks on ballot
papers ... Anyone found guilty of breaching these requirements
can face a fine or imprisonment.

"The rewards for political lying are massive: they include winning referendums and elections. The penalties are either nonexistent or tiny." - theguardian.com/commentisfree/… ... this partially sums up the election ...
... much of this election has been about the deliberate use of outrage, misleading statements, alternative truths, outright lies and fear to confuse the electorate to the point that they feel they don't know who to vote for. That's the point, to rob you of your voice ...
... and to lead you into the arms of "strongman" politics where someone else can make the decisions for you.

Make your voice heard. Make sure you understand what you're voting for -

Bought two @EmmaMattress based on recommendation - emma-mattress.co.uk - one turned up (less than perfect delivery), other ... who knows.

Basically, good mattress, hopeless distribution. Just sell through Amazon and let professionals deal with distribution & tracking.
@EmmaMattress I mean "Parcel Status: Order data received from sender" ... what is that supposed to mean to me as a customer?

Focus on the customer and their needs. I want to know where my sodding mattress is ... not on where your internal bits of data are.
@EmmaMattress ... or "You'll receive a Predict 1hr delivery window notification" ... excellent.

When? Tomorrow? Next Month?
How? Courier pigeon? A letter n the post?

Why can't you just tell me now? It's farcical. They really should let professionals manage it for them.

1/10 An #immigration and #nhs thread. This govt the two have linked the two and this week sees this link leading toward further disaster:

The NHS is short of psychiatrists, esp child psychiatrists - the Home office during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/o…
2/10 Meanwhile in the wake of #brexit, with a govt insisting on an arbitary salary threshold for immigration policy an NHS already short of 100000 staff looks set for a worsening staffing crisis

3/10 The govt insistence on using the #NHS as a means of immigration control continues, with the news of sharing of patient data with credit firms - a story with implications well beyond ill advised border control

Exceptional times; exceptional measures

Today I’m calling for backbenchers to form a coalition Govt of National Unity, short term for ONE POLICY

...a people’s vote to give a #FinalSay on the biggest political decision of our lifetimes.

Thread... theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Our country is divided and what motivated many to vote Leave in 16 are now admitted to be lies: no job losses, £350m wk to #NHS, easy trade deals etc.

Polls now say we’re a Remain country; the wafer thin mandate of 2016 advisory poll is over

When facts change; minds change
To my backbencher colleagues...

You MUST prevent an incoming Tory leader proroguing parliament and forcing a no-deal Brexit.

Do not put #PartyAboveCountry

If Brexit isn't bad enough for you, take a look at this glimpse of a future dystopian post Brexit world as the BBC platform (again) the opaquely funded IEA's Kate Andrews peddling the annihilation of our #NHS with a replacement private healthcare scheme
And just in case you're wondering why the lobbyists at Tufton Towers are all over Brexit like a rash and how the NHS could possibly be effected by the UK leaving the EU, wonder no more.....
independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
The IEA are nothing but lobbyists for those business interests that wish to effect change on a specific issue for material gain; being a charity is fooling nobody.

At the heart of this piece is a coded call to recognise the 'legitimate concerns' of voters about immigration. I think that's wrong in principle - and isn't going to happen.
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
This messaging - let's describe it as the "third way unicorn" - comes from a very particular place in the Remain campaign. And its important to recognise it for a number of reasons.
Some from the political past see a Referendum as a chance to put themselves at the forefront of political relevance again. But their presence is toxic to many who we might want to support a campaign to stay in the EU.

 . @neil_parish MP for Tiverton & Honiton

When you voted to trigger A50 you knew that the
Govt ref. leaflet sent to every household did not mention the
Good Friday Agreement & how leaving the EU will impact it.

Why did you vote to trigger A50?
Ken Clarke MP didn't.

 @neil_parish MP for Tiverton & Honiton

When you voted to trigger A50
you knew that regulatory alignment would be required for
Northern Ireland, as highlighted by the phase 1 report from 2017,
requiring both the SM & CU.
Does it not make sense to stay in the CU & SM?

 @neil_parish MP for Tiverton & Honiton

When you voted to trigger A50
you knew that it would have customs implications for everything from cars to fresh food.

If there is no deal how long will supermarkets have fresh produce on their shelves?
