The life expectancy for men in (Greater) Glasgow is 71.6.

Interesting, I wasn't familiar with the 'Glasgow effect'. If we go by cities, Satu Mare is the worst offender in Romania (73.2 irrespective of gender, 69.3 for men).

Boris is such a trustworthy guy. And it's brown ppl, they'll lap anything up! xp

There was that famous report a few years back that claimed life expectancy in Calton for men was 54 - don't know how accurate it was though!

Greater Glasgow has a population of 1.2 million, which more than 1 in 5 of the Scottish population, so, even if the rest of Scotland was superhuman - and believe me it isn't- it's hard to see how the North of England has the worst life expectancy rates in the UK.

'Skills' Wallace (Tom D.), Wednesday, 27 November 2019 10:28 (six years ago)

Xyzzz that's literally the opposite of what I'm saying. Idiot.

Oh was it sarcasm? You've been such a fool for so long it's hard to tell

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 10:32 (six years ago)

No, you're right, Tom, I keep getting regions mixed up – apologies. Scotland is indeed worse off than the North of England, even though it's still ahead of Romania, Turkey and Poland in terms of overall life expectancy.

pomenitul, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 10:32 (six years ago)

Leak the fucking NHS documents now.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 10:36 (six years ago)

Oh wait he literally handed then out to journalists.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 10:37 (six years ago)

Life expectancy in Norilsk is apparently 69, surprisingly not that far off

anvil, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 10:39 (six years ago)

That seems too high, 56 in Vorkuta seems about right

anvil, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 10:41 (six years ago)

Well it's 71.9 in Russia…

pomenitul, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 10:41 (six years ago)

66.4 for men!

Small brain: Jeremy Corbyn did poorly in the Neill interview
Regular brain: Corbyn was never going to do well against a footsoldier of the right
Galaxy brain: he threw it on purpose to turn the spotlight onto him cos he was sitting on the election-winning NHS memos

lol

This is all going to be furiously disputed through the day, no question ..trying to get link to the full documents so you can have a proper look - important tho Corbyn doesn't provide evidence that ministers have agreed that health service shoudl be part of a trade deal with US

lol at ‘corbyn doesn’t provide evidence’ minutes after he drops 451 pages of documents just because there’s not a section personally signed by boris stating that he will preside over the dismantling of the nhs

Gonna take a wild stab and assume the documents also don't have any evidence of UK govt rejecting or pushing back against US demands.

Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 11:04 (six years ago)

oh yes they've got an equaliser here, whatever comebacks they've got, this should be quite powerful. Even some potential tory voters who can't be arsed reading it know Boris is a lying fucker and it will stick with them to the polling booth I reckon.

calzino, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 11:16 (six years ago)

lol how can Kuenssberg post like a parody account like that and expect to get taken seriously ... never mind silly question.

calzino, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 11:21 (six years ago)

The message is basically "you can have the NHS or you can have Boris but you can't have both" from here on in right

Just a few words on this ridiculous position, from me, who grew up in America under American "health care" and what this would mean for our NHS.
The leading cause of bankruptcy in America is medical bills.

Look at the post highlighted at the top of the thread. It could also show up the Brexit Party's position but in places like Grimsby it's probably too far gone already.

Telegraph journal takes on 🔥

Jeremy Corbyn is giving out a 100-plus page unredacted document marked "OFFICIAL - SENSITIVE (UK eyes only)" to journalists. Civil Servants will have marked it like this for a reason. And he wants to be Prime Minister in just over a fortnight's time. #GE2019

Has the BBC always been like this? No one suspects its sheer awfulness abroad.

pomenitul, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 11:50 (six years ago)

No, it has been cowed by government bullying and internal fretting about liberal bias over the last ten years, or so.

I certainly expected them to be bad but not this bad. Pom is otm though, BBC is still seen as the be all and end all over here.

Journalists not actually doing any reporting. Just sitting and spewing thrash on social media all day long.

The secret government documents Jeremy Corbyn has revealed this morning appear to have been sitting on reddit for a month (go to the 'full document' link on this page: https://t.co/yqWaDVnqU7

Apparently Johnson is visiting a hospital in Penzance just as this story breaks. Good timing.

nashwan, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:09 (six years ago)

Laura is ... not good at context for the tweets she gives. That “evidence” one makes it look like she has either somehow read the docs and found nothing (or that a Downing Street Source has told her).

In fact she was talking about the answer to a question she put to Corbyn: “do you have any evidence that ministers have suggested to US that NHS could form part of trade deal?” and ... he hasn’t. (yet)

Tldr she does herself few favours and is clearly pro-Boris but Death Of An Institution stuff it shouldn’t be. Tory bias charges against BBC News feel a bit like the anti-semitism charges: there are genuine problems there, the response is being needlessly flubbed, but it is also being oversimplified.

stet, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:10 (six years ago)

clearly pro-Boris but

^^ this is hugely problematic though.
