Yes, I wondered what you thought of Victoria Atkins' (the Shadow Health Secretary) response to the Prime Minister's outline for his vision on the NHS today

So that's why Starmer was reticent about producing impact assessment details about the possible health impact, hospitalisations & deaths during the Winter period due to cutting the pensioners Winter fuel payments.

Starmer / Labour simply didn't bother to carry out any assessments. 

 

Pensioners of the UK. Starmer / Labour simply don't care about you!

Food prices increased 6%, the cost of goods and services even more!

A fiscal hole of ~£30bn pa, that the highest tax burden since the war can't fill.

An economy in the dumps and significantly smaller than it should be.

 

That's Brexit, a mere 3 weeks worth!

 

Pensioners of the UK. Anyone who voted leave doesn't care about you!

 

 

Your misplaced indignation though, priceless! 🤣

Not sure what observers, biased or otherwise have said.

No when she responded to the PM's vision for building the NHS back up from the past calamitous 14 years, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing; so much so that I fear I may have missed something of substance.
