The meningitis outbreak in England: media criticism targeted on the Biosecurity agency BUT none on the lack of UKGovt’s leadership. Why is Wes Streeting not being called to account for sitting on his hands & allowing the crisis to develop? BBC Scotland would already have called for SNP resignations!

Finding BBC and #r4today analysis of Trump’s insults of Starmer to be bizarre. Why are we even considering what Trump said? It’s meaningless. Genuinely. Not even Trump knows what he means. The story is - Starmer stood firm and acted in the national interest. Trump threw some toys out of his pram.
