PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

tbf the NHS was being destroyed well before the Tories/austerity took over

my wife was in that same hospital with TB in 2008, it was shit then too. no nurses then either. she used to take her own drips out when they were done because no nurses would come if she pressed the buzzer. New Labour played their part in this

although as I've gone into in far too much detail elsewhere, the NHS is a complete disaster area nowadays, literally every part of it is fucked, at least where I live

good thing we can use that weekly £350m we'll be saving from the eu to give us the health service we deserve post-brexit

What a cool and normal thing to say (now deleted)

at the weekend I was chatting to a friend who's gone from working for a charity that won govt contracts for health/social work to working directly for the NHS and she cannot believe how slow and useless everything is and is going to leave in a few months when her contract's up. hard to know where to start

Would say NHS major problems date back to creation of internal market in 1990, though ofc blair did nothing to reverse the slide

It's great that after a decade of this shit it is getting extremely difficult for a Con leader to turn up anywhere without getting yelled at by angry citizens. McD got into trouble for saying he wanted it to be difficult for these cunts to walk the streets for their crimes against the people - it took long enough but it's happening!

the people's champion mcd vindicated yet again

according to D Edgerton, Blair accelerated the PFIing of NHS to levels that Major thought would get a Conservative government into deep trouble with the electorate.

The gutter press have doxxed the Boris heckler.

of course they have

say what you like about the heckler but at least we know for sure how many kids he's got, unlike the fucking prime minister

in a sense we are all his kids

and he's dropping us all off at the pool

The gutter press have doxxed the Boris heckler.

this fuckin' guy deliberately planned to have a sick kid just days before the prime minister would visit the hospital in which she was born in order to stage a publicity stunt during boris' perfectly innocent attempt to learn more about the nhs while being respectfully observed by the media

is there no low to which corbyn's deranged acolytes will not sink

Is this the same press that got angry at ppl for objecting to David Cameron’s expressions of grief about his sick child?

Has he had a single successful walkabout yet? If the campaign is like this it's going to be amazing

Laura now in it.

This is him here https://t.co/77Hqqo9Avz

given the UK press's unswerving commitment to truth and transparency you can see how they would resent being manipulated by a political propagandist

"afaict he openly responded himself to the original mirror tweet, so in this particular case less doxxing, more gutter press ascribing deliberately problematising “man with sick kid also a labour activist.”"

Right, don't know the exact timeline but I first saw Gu*do on it.

i was gonna make a joke about his name being Omar but jesus do NOT read the comments

I don’t like her insinuation that he’s disqualified from commenting because he worked for Emily Thornberry ten years ago. LK’s rapport with BJ is also a lil bit barf-in-my-mouth, actually- what’s up with the mateyness?

Has he had a single successful walkabout yet? If the campaign is like this it's going to be amazing

Why has no-one milkshaked him yet, what is wrong with this country?

xp would it be too much to hope that the worst comments are ppl making annoying the wire jokes

Come at the king you best not miss

LK’s rapport with BJ is also a lil bit barf-in-my-mouth, actually- what’s up with the mateyness?

i am 100% convinced they have fucked

great that's another night i won't sleep

Sounds like a pub conversation about Ally McCoist/Hazel Irvine ca. 2000.

there is something mantid about Kuenssberg but clearly not all situations

I don’t like Laura K full stop. It’s not like that long since she was feigning ignorance over Tory MPs calling themselves the grand wizards, completely unshocking she’d go for some random member of the public the day a fucking cabinet member admitted “they didn’t mean to” flout the Saudi Arabia arms ban. No real injustice will ever be tackled while these bootlickers and morons insist on going after members of the public and not the people in charge.

great that's another night i won't sleep

too aroused for slumber, eh

why i oughta

"I am the one who can make the bhaji disappear..."

My recent NHS experiences have been pretty good all in all (a few tests for a long-term minor issue, a few reschedules of short stay surgery which couldn't really be helped, 8 hours for the actual day surgery which all went fine, then due to post-op infection (v hard to avoid for the treatment required) a surprisingly and reassuringly quick check-up at a day centre after calling 111 and then a 4 hour wait in A&E for non-urgent care on a late Summer Saturday night in London which you'd expect really) and all without one crabby dismissive attendee at any point but then I do live 20 mins from a gigantic teaching hospital in south London. Communication could've been better at some points in the process but nothing intolerable.

Not to detract from the legit criticisms of others but got to give the credit where due.

This one is worse than the last one I posted, responding to a tweet by the BBC. She is very eager to point out he is a labour activist.

Turns out the man who challenged the PM is also a Labour activist

— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) September 18, 2019

pretty good labour activism imo

congrats laura, you've managed a new low

Shocked that the PM ran into an activist of Europe’s largest party (by membership). The biggest grassroots group in the country and it matters that BJ met one of them at a NHS hospital?

She’s acting like she discovered this rather than reading it on some dickhead’s Guido RT.

Yeah this is really bad from LK. "I'm not saying, and I'm just saying, but labour activist nudge nudge wink wink eh lads"

That's a big fuck-up, it's basically inviting a pile-on of a dude who's child in hospital. I'd be surprised if there wasn't some disciplinary action for that.

The PM lying to a citizen about there being no press there *right in front of the cameras* should be the story there.

Just want to point out this follows a story in the Mail yesterday where they linked a video of some gammon abusing a Labour campaigner that came to their door, because fuck knows the dog whistles weren’t going hard enough.

Nothing will happen to Laura K, she’s still in a job after misrepresenting Corbyn’s views on shoot to kill and having a complaint upheld against her.

Well done for encouraging the hounding of a man with a sick newborn who is probably already experiencing more stress and worry than we can imagine and likely hasn’t slept for a week. You’re right, his decision to support a party he thinks will care for people better is damning

plot twist as aditya reveals that boris is actually the father of omar salem's daughter

Just to clarify: the man who went to Whipps Cross hospital to make a political point and grandstand for cameras was not the father of a sick little girl being treated there.
It was the Prime Minister.

Yah nothing will happen to lk, consequences are for proles.

FS at the mcshitter lauding the paras & posh af LK hounding a labour activist

just heard with zero irony a discussion on R4 about political impartiality and so on in broadcasting, and the two guest interviewees were the ex torygraph writer + pal of boris/nigel + current editor of the Today program and some arsehole from LBC.

Is Boris in danger of being undermined by these protesters, ask Evan Davies on PM.

and the leading headline is Corbyn's refusal to explicitly back remain in a 2nd ref. love these guys.

Imagine being a Labour voter or potential one and not knowing which way you'd vote in a 2nd ref. I can't.

Not that hard to imagine tbf, just statistically insignificant.
