    Mark my words, Weds and Thurs are going to be Fake News central.

    Strap yourself in for last minute smears, last minute interventions and testimonies from so-called 'neutral' bodies and anything else Cummings thinks of.

    Question everything.

    Paul Mason is one of my political heroes. He should of put himself up for selection.

    If you haven't read it his book Post Capitalism, recommend it.

    Let's take them back.

    This is what 'let's take back control' should have been all about.

    Not letting them disintegrate for the benefit of foreign corporate elites.

    Britain’s biggest employer is already state owned and it’s appallingly inefficient and poorly run. Maybe if they could figure out how to run that one properly, I might be more inclined to let them have a go with another one.

    It needs reform and funding.

    It can be done. If Labour got in, the state of the NHS would be a barometer of its success.

    The reason the NHS is struggle is because it's had real terms cut of 20% per capita since 2010.

    Also the top down reorganisation which the Tories promised not to do and the Health and Social Care act hasn't helped.

    Decent video summarising the Fake News story.

    Whatever your political persuasion, if you value ethics and integrity, this must surely concern you:

    That was over a couple of millennia ago, before Christmas puds were invented.
    Fake news again.

    I know we shouldn't base too much on image, and we should focus on content, but I think she usually looks like she's auditioning for a role in The Borrowers.

    Sorry DMD - I'd probably laugh if I knew what "The Borrowers" were/was, but unfortunately I don''t.<doh>

    Edit: Just googled it. I'll give you a smile :emoticon-0100-smile

    The amount that Labour is proposing to inject into the NHS, is less than the amount it would cost to implement a four day working week in the NHS.
