Mick-b private health i used to pay 1.5k a year

Work benefit but got taxed on it so I stopped it.

Surgeons are carrying out scheduled operations just one day a fortnight, the head of the profession has warned, amid growing NHS chaos.

Prof Neil Mortensen, the president of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, revealed that, despite record health service backlogs, productivity among surgeons has been driven ever lower as a result of staff shortages and a lack of operating theatre space.

It comes as the NHS braces for the most extreme strikes in its history, with the head of Great Ormond Street Hospital warning that walkouts by nurses will put the lives of sick children at risk.

Health officials have warned that there will be “exceptionally low” staffing levels in some hospitals after the strikes start at 8pm on Sunday, when members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) are set to abandon A&E departments, cancer services and intensive care units at 125 hospitals and health systems across England.

Mick-b radio 4 this week talked about funding and various ways of getting the NHS to work again. Something will have to be done for sure. The private health care companies has had a good intake of new yearly paying customers lately.

Mick-b the NHS needs funding and a new model like paying for trans gender ops should be considered or otherwise non vital health condition surgery.

University talks

The only reason students invite Conservatives to speak at their universities, I’ve long suspected, is to give themselves the pleasure of disinviting them. Now, however, they may need to find a new source of amusement. Because, miraculously, a university vice-chancellor has at last had the guts to stand up to them.

James Sunderland, the Conservative MP for Bracknell, recently accepted an invitation to address the University of Reading’s Politics Association. The students, predictably, then withdrew their invitation – because, they loftily explained, his views on immigration “conflict with the ethos of the society”.

You might have thought that this was all the more reason to invite him. After all, it’s a strange sort of politics society that doesn’t wish to debate politics. None the less, they cancelled him – only to U-turn once more, and re-invite him. This abrupt change of heart appears to have come after an intervention by Robert van de Noort, Reading’s vice-chancellor. He has apologised to Mr Sunderland, and reminded student groups of their responsibility to uphold free speech.

Perhaps, emboldened by Prof van de Noort’s excellent example, other universities will now pluck up the courage to defy their students.

Mick-b sunac

Trying sunak

I think he has done a good job considering what mess we have been left with after 12years of CONS. The next election will be very interesting

Mick-b that's great news

The inflation rate on oil and gas should have a positive effect for sure. I like oil boilers we used to have on but they got a gas supply to the village now.

Energy bills arleast mine half the price

Octopus energy has finally put me on the tracker tariff after Months of waiting. So I am happy with that for sure.
