Labour's Second Rate NHS
Health has been in the news this week. The NHS waiting list is back to over 1 Million. We now have 250,000 managers and administrators in the NHS. That figure is more than the total number of doctors and nurses! The Government keeps piling on extra targets and launching new initiatives. Each new target and initiative needs to be measured so there is relentless recruitment of yet more managers to do the measuring. The Government is spending more on the NHS but we are not getting the benefit where it really counts, in getting people the care they need when they need it.

A digital world fit for the next generation
For too long, tech giants have treated children as data to be mined, using addictive algorithms and harmful content to keep them scrolling. While some are calling for blanket bans, we know these are impractical and risk isolating vulnerable groups.

Britain’s nuclear deterrent depends on Trump. It’s time to change that
If the answer to “Is our nuclear deterrent working?” depends on what Donald Trump had for breakfast, then the answer is no, it’s not. And our deterrent is not truly independent.
