JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS:

Health spending was 5.4% in 2010

It is now about 1.4%

This is a fall of 74%

This is the lowest in 70 years - IFS

So, the next time the Tories say we are putting more into the NHS than ever before

JUST SHOW THEM THIS RT

Two themes of right-wing politicians tweeting about Luxembourg PM:

1) Luxembourg is tiny
2) We freed them in the war

The underlying attitude is “know your place”/ “we are your betters”

It’s the colonial attitude that resists an egalitarian world & substantially drove Brexit.

There is only one country in the world that trades solely under WTO rules. It’s Mauritania 🇲🇷

Mauritania GDP is $4.7 million (0.2% of UK’s) and 10% of the population live in slavery.

So this is the no-deal WTO Brexit that many Brexiters wish to emulate - The Mauritania option.

I just got pitched "the Uber for kids," which I think is a great idea.

Since they're kids, you don't have to pay them as much, and it's not a big deal if they accidentally kill someone, as they're under the age of criminal responsibility.

So if Jeremy Corbyn flounced out of a press conference because of a couple of protesters the tabloids would be photoshopping him as a chicken again.

Boris Johnson does it, and we're supposed to believe our heroic Prime Minister is being bullied by LUXEMBOURG. #FreePressMyArse

UK radiology services are collapsing. Huge implications for cancer care. Government has abjectly failed to invest in diagnostic services and it will take years to solve current recruitment crisis. Lots of early retirements due to severe job stress #NHSCrisis
