For some this may not appear of any significance… but for anyone from ED it’s a game changer… brand new pillows delivered to ED - is it a sign we are turning the corner for Emergency care in the UK? Or just luck?

This is what a government can actually do… make difficult decisions that are at most an ‘inconvenience’ for some but actually reduce casualties on the roads. But sadly it’s hard to own the success while SM and some gutter politics use the inconvenience for political gain 🤦🏻‍♂️

To the hand-wringing Europeans who felt offended by President Trump rejecting being lectured by President Zelensky: Be my guest to defend Ukraine from Putin.
It is long past time for the Europeans to show they are capable of defending their own continent.
They've allowed their militaries to be hollowed out and when Europe speaks, no bad guy listens.
