Hope this isn't a total "find and replace" on all official NHS documents - if I'm asked if I have "a warm hand over" in my pants next time I have thrush, I'm going to be very confused.

And now, presumably we watch as the Clacton conman offers a $5,000 bribe to any UK citizen prepared to vote for his party Happy days I for one will feel a lot safer knowing the country's going to be run by these charming cryptoboys who've definitely got their money through entirely legitimate means

I don't know if it's just that this UK government missed the context of growing up in Ireland in the 90s, but they should probably be aware that gangs of lads in balaclavas don't have the best intentions for the public.

Another patient told by a private clinic that she won't be able to access HRT via her GP - again had to explain that this is not true - we prescribe it all the time. Bioidentical, in pretty much whatever format the patient wants as long as it's available and patient is well informed. #HRT

I think he's misjudged this. Just a protracted bleating whinge about how hard life is, delivered by a man who accepts huge donations from convicted criminal billionaires. It's not giving man of the people.
