Reported to me earlier today  :

An undertaker tells me that they have received a letter from the UK Government, stating that they will soon be inundated with bodies and they will not be able to cope! Emergency chapels of rest will be set up locally to deal with the huge influx!

Ex-Army MP demands more help for suicidal soldiers but only handful of MPs turn up to listen -


“I never received any support from the military. How can the Army not follow up members of the forces to see if they are okay when people have died on patrols they have led.

“How can they risk more casualties in the form of suicide? My greatest fear is this letter will be used as an exhibit in a bundle collated for a coroner. This can’t continue.”

Great find by the BBC's Faisal Islam.


It shows US lobbyists saying the Tory-Trump deal should lead to our NHS paying "market-derived" medicine prices. They say the UK government “dictates prices” meaning “artificially depressed prices” in the UK. 

Only Labour will protect our NHS.

When Jeremy Corbyn said his first act as Prime Minister would be to end homelessness the media told us it couldn’t be done.


And yet...

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. The reason: The country applies the “Housing First” concept. Those affected by homelessness receive a small apartment and counselling – without any preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected thus make their way back into a stable life. And: All this is cheaper than accepting homelessness.
