They shall be set in a nice garden with play areas and shaded seating, and every one of them shall have a full-time attendant.

In 2020/2021, £86bn in Covid money was added to the NHS budget. The NHS directly received only £18bn of it.

Billions went to Tory donors, their mates, neighbours, and family.

If this isn’t fraud and misconduct in public office, then WTF is?

Starmer consistently refused to name his donors. He received a £50,000 donation from pro-Israel lobbyist Trevor Chinn – which was not disclosed until after polls had closed in the leadership election.
