@UKHouseofLords

WOW! Health & Social Care Statement in @UKHouseofLords
BARONESS BRINTON:
Eg Doctors
•Primary Care at breaking point
•Main problem is lack of doctors
•GP's workload increased 30% (BMA survey) clinical admin alone (not Covid) & doctors HAVE to do it.
@TheDA_UK @TheBMA @NHSuk

•More patients than ever never reflected by ministers
•Govt funding for doctor training not sustained:
"This yr, far too many, hundreds (just under a thousand) of newly qualified doctors, fresh out of University, could NOT get training places because there was no money funded..

@NHSuk

for hospitals to be able to do it.
•"Exodus of @NHSuk staff was reported in @thetimes last Saturday the net change is NOT positive now, it's negative!"

WOW @margarethodge🔥
#ConfidenceMotion 18/7/22
"It is not just about #partygate, dreadful though that was, nor the failed attempt to defend the indefensible behaviour of Owen #Paterson, nor the abhorrent culture of tolerating bullying & sexual harassment from political allies;
1/

..these contribute to a loss of confidence, but they do not stand alone. There is also the endless list of incompetence & waste—taxpayers’ money being tossed around like confetti, with £16 billion fraudulently squandered on #COVID business support.
2/

There are the shameful failures in ambulance waiting times, 6 million citizens waiting for hospital treatment, people unable to travel because of the crippling delays at the Passport Office, and a stream of rail strikes and chaos at the airports.

@13sarahmurphy

@13sarahmurphy @Jesse_Norman is husband of Kate Bingham has no confidence in #Johnson's leadership or policies!
1. "You have presided over a culture of casual law-breaking in 10 Downing St in relation to #Covid."
"To describe yourself as vindicated is GROTESQUE."

@13sarahmurphy

@13sarahmurphy @Jesse_Norman 2. "in the Queen's Speech & elsewhere, your current policies are DEEPLY QUESTIONABLE.
Breach of the #NIProtocol wd be ECONOMICALLY VERY DAMAGING,
POLITICALLY FOOLHARDY
& almost certainly ILLEGAL."

@13sarahmurphy

@13sarahmurphy @Jesse_Norman "#Rwanda policy is UGLY, likely counterproductive & of DOUBTFUL LEGALITY.
Privatisation of @Channel4News is UNNECESSARY & PROVOCATIVE..at significant cost to INDEPENDENT UK film & TV industry"
"NO genuinely Conservative govt should have supported the recent ban on noisy protest"!

@IoWBobSeely

OMG @IoWBobSeely = IMPORTANT speech atm on:
#SLAPP & eg major legal firms don't do "know your client checks" as know "inherently corrupt"😱
"I note some oligarchs are distancing themselves from President Putin: (names 3!!)..I'm sorry I do not buy it!"
@carolecadwalla @peterjukes

Go back to Ukraine
"Firtash, now wanted by the Americans was set up by #Gazprom & by Putin, he was given sweetheart deals, so to import vast amounts of cheap energy into Ukraine. The vast profits he was able to garner from those sweetheart deals gave him a good life, but..

..but much more importantly he funnelled that money to buy up chunks of East Ukrainian industry, effectively as a front for the FSB(?) the former KGB, but also critically to purchase politicians & to fund the pro-Russian political parties in Eastern Ukraine.

GREAT SPEECH Lord Newby 25/2/22 #russianinvasion #ukraine

"Ony 6 mths ago we were describing the chaotic retreat from #Afghanistan as the biggest failure of western foreign policy for decades.."
4 PTS
1."We are not a global military power, despite the Govt's hubristic rhetoric"!

"The pivot to the east was a MAJOR STRATEGIC MISTAKE & should be reversed..."
2. "our most important security and economic relationships are with Europe. Windy talk of GLOBAL BRITAIN CUTS NO ICE when the Russians can seize a friendly European democracy." 😢
#RussianWar
#Ukraine

3. "we need to strengthen global structures & programmes which promote our values. With #Russia & #China on the Security Council, this is not going to be easy, but we should at the very least do what we can within our own powers & resources to begin to address this..."
