It is disgraceful that Andy Burnham took an hour out to appear on Gogglebox just to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. If he's going to do a TV show he should do what I did and pocket £1.5million for eating some kangaroo bollocks.

UK Tory govt failures led to Covid spreading ‘like wildfire’ in care homes. Ministers lied. Residents sent home without protection. 43,000 died from Covid-19 in UK care homes between March 2020 and July 2022. 2016 Exercise Cygnus showed NHS couldn't cope with a flu pandemic. Govt did nothing.

Mark Zuckerberg is interfering in the elections in Brazil, he is interfering with them in the US too. He should be investigated and Meta should be forced sold as Tiktok was, for a pittance.

Electricity costs put UK steelmakers in worst position against EU rivals. Govt subsidising energy cost of 10,000 businesses via public purse. Others suffer too. Govt not attending to real causes - faulty pricing formula based on cost of gas, profiteering by energy companies. Nationalise energy.
