I’m so fucking fed up of hearing stories of elderly people who are essentially being killed by science free, cruel visiting regimes in #ourNHS hospitals. Today I learned of a 93 year old Grandmother who has stopped eating & drinking since being in hospital but because she had 1/3
had a visit from her grandson that day her daughter was told she could not visit . She desperately needs help & encouragement to eat but the rules say only one visit per day. Why @nottmhospitals?!how can you justify this, it’s barbaric. @Tom_Randall this is happening to your 2/3
constituent and @SteveBarclay you are in charge of this. Get a bloody grip and sort it out.

The Sunday Times have reviewed the tape of my interview with them and agreed that I never said I was enraged by people saying they could not afford to buy a home. Both the Sunday Times & Times are removing all references to this statement in their online additions.
I would be grateful if other publications which repeated this false statement could do the same. The unaffordable nature of homes in many parts of the UK is something that has concerned me for a long time. The impact of this on society as a whole is very serious.
The premise that I had no sympathy or empathy for those who can’t afford to buy a home was entirely false. It struck at the heart of the work I’ve done for over 22 years, and in our internet age nothing is tomorrow’s chip paper.
