Slashing aid isn’t just cruel—it’s reckless. From active conflict zones to developing nations, these cuts weaken peacebuilding and hand influence to Russia and China. Security means tackling cyber threats, pandemics, and the climate crisis, not just spending on bombs and guns.

"There is no solution to the crisis in the NHS that doesn’t include a solution for social care." Dismayed to see Wes Streeting acknowledge this - yet kick the issue into long grass with a commission that won't report until 2028. What hope for the NHS now? What hope for those needing care now?

This is Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy, appointed by Nigel Farrage. Nick Candy boasted to a FT journalist in 2010 "I don't pay tax!" (From his home in Monaco) He and his brother developed property in London through an offshore company to avoid tax. Patriotic? Anti-Establishment? It's a con.

This is a reminder, that now, under Labour and @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social - 20% of NHS funding (from us the tax payer) - gets rediverted to the private sector. In return they see 10% of patients (the simplest cases no less). This is not a good business model. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

It remains to be seen whether Reform actually has 131,000 members, & if so how many of these are in the UK. But it's not impossible given that an estimated 10% of Britons fell victim to online scams in 2022-23. Fools & their money are easily parted.
