Jeremy Hunt: I promised a dying friend I’d end infected blood scandal

http://archive.today/2024.05.18-231946/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/jeremy-hunt-infected-blood-compensation-bf2lskvs9

(cached)

Election campaigning is in full swing. And is busy trying to get credit for ‘solutions’ to the Scandal. Of course as Health minster he contributed to the destruction of the (his family are heavily involved in private healthcare) and will in due course tell us how he saved it. Pass the sick bag Alice 🤢

With the benefit of hindsight and the stripping away of government and media (especially the BBC) lies, Orgreave is being reassessed. Not least with art.

Bowie is getting his electioneering in early…

Andrew Bowie called out for spreading 'misinformation' about medical practice

https://www.thenational.scot/news/24258121.tory-mp-andrew-bowie-called-spreading-misinformation/

Spreading lies and disinformation about a medical practice closure (no such thing) in the hope that he can then blame Holyrood.

Garden centres in UK stockpile plants before new checks

Yet another

government will introduce physical checks for many plant and animal products coming into Britain from the EU on 30 April as part of its new border target operating model

However, plant sellers & growers have consistently raised concerns that checks could cause delays & lead to some being destroyed or damaged

STOP PRESS

Scottish Tories have not accepted Money from racist misogynistic Tory donor who donated £10M to the party while getting £500M of business from the maladministration.

It’s true. On Politics Scotland the Tory MSP told us. She was almost embarrassed (almost) when the BBC interviewer pointed out that Scottish Conservatives are the same as English Conservatives and donations were pooled in the unitary coffers, and didn’t blush once.

Conservative ‘aspirations' and net zero.

Guess what - Gove was lying on his ‘need for coal’. Pesky government reports or maybe he just didn't have time to read them while looking down the sofa for ‘Brexit Benefits’.

Hunt considers poaching Labour’s plan to scrap non-domiciled tax rules

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/28/hunt-considers-poaching-labours-plan-to-scrap-non-domiciled-tax-rules

But where will all of those donations to the Conservative party come from? His ‘colleagues’ will have him wrapped in a straitjacket, sectioned and whisked off to a remote Scottish Island (the preferred place of exile for London these days) before he can put pen to paper.

It's just about the only thing Labour have not u-turned on as well. For now

Health targets - U.K.

https://www.channel4.com/news/england-aes-worse-than-scotland-and-wales-on-key-4-hour-target-analysis-finds

The comparison between health services is a barren one unless it is used to improve things for all of us.

But as the BBC, Guardian, Times, Herald and Scotsman seem determined to use it to beat up Scotland, it is only fair to mention this.

They won’t.

Ps. Graph show top performer

No good news though

Today, the Office for National Statistics published a comparison of the proportion of patients waiting more than four hours in A&E and found that on this key NHS measure, the worst performing was England, followed by Wales, with Scotland faring best.

Though in all three nations, things have got worse over the past decade.

I am amused that C4 used the Scotland only graph to illustrate the clip though. Who would have thunk it?

"A look of panic began to cross [Tory MP] Gullis’s face as he realised he had been stitched up by Kemi. That she had been less than truthful with him and others. Who would have guessed? So unlike her. Gullis wasn’t the first to regret sticking up for the business secretary. Nor would he be the last. Gullis began to hastily backtrack."

More Post office lies and confusion

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/feb/27/tory-mps-have-badenochs-back-as-they-slog-it-out-with-former-post-office-chair

Crace's piece reads as a straight report (which it seems to be). Meantime Badenoch is being accused of lying and not even reading the report she quoted (nor have her defenders in Parliament), the Chief exec is under investigation, and the statements about post Brexit negotiations with Canada have been dismissed by the Canadians. And compensation is nowhere in sight What a shit show….
