Hang on. I thought 50k more nurses were @BorisJohnson’s top priority?

Well, his pledge to reinstate the nursing bursary just unravelled.

A token bursary, sure. But student nurses will still have to pay uni tuition fees.

This is stunningly deceitful.

This matters because patients matter. Applicants to nursing degrees fell by 20% when the Tories axed the bursary. And we’re short of 43k nurses.

But the bursary *included* paid tuition fees.

Now it doesn’t.

Why isn’t Johnson being held to account for this electoral dishonesty?

2/"Young people historically vote at lower rates, typically, than other age groups, and that has been especially true of the midterms. But this year, registration for younger voters is up substantially, with some studies anticipating the highest youth turnout in decades.

3/"We wanted to know what issues are motivating young people at such impressive rates this year, so we asked. In just a few days we had more than 800 passionate, sharp and often surprising responses. The respondents frequently mentioned climate change, no matter their party

Opening arguments should start within the hour. ITMT check out @ZachZagger’s great recap of what’s at stake. law360.com/articles/10743…

The judge is in the courtroom. She says she read each side's opening statements, which were submitted in writing. Just a recap - this is a 10-day bench trial and each side has 22 hours and 30 minutes to argue their case. bit.ly/2LvIeB7
