Wes Streeting: there is overdiagnosis of mental health conditions

Imagine the level of self confidence you need to have to have a degree in history and say such a thing.

Wes Streeting should resign. He is no position to make such a statement as Health Secretary and he should be rebutted by the GMC right away.

Let’s buy it, not invest in its upkeep or maintenance- rob every penny out of it, put prices up, take tax payer subsidies all the while paying ourselves and shareholders vast salaries and profits … oh no that’s already been fucking done. How much will this cost us? people need to be jailed for this

"From the beginning, I opposed Russia’s invasion and called for an end to the conflict as soon as possible to save human life. Three years on, and hundreds of thousands of grieving mothers later, I renew this call. There is no glory to war — there is only death and destruction. When leaders neglect to use the language of peace, they should remember that it’s those who are sent to die on the battlefield who end up paying the price.

Meanwhile, the government is failing to tackle what is by far the largest threat to global security: climate disaster. As we speak, people are dying from droughts and floods, yet their lives aren’t deemed important for emergency press conferences outside Downing Street. They don’t have a place in a macho political strategy based on beating one’s chest in the name of war.

Instead, the government’s thoughts are reserved for those who profit from destruction. This week, the defense secretary said that military spending can be “a driver of economic growth.” What he really means is that taxpayers’ money will be paid directly to arms companies. If the government was really interested in building a safer world, it would understand that there is no such thing as growth on a dead planet, and spend the £13.4 billion on species-saving resources like renewable energy instead."

Interesting to compare with the #uk where a member of parliament was suspended from membership of the #labourparty after allegations of assault and has since been sentenced by a magistrate to ten weeks in jail. He is there already despite having appealed the sentence. He is under pressure to resign and if the sentence is upheld he is likely to face a recall petition which would trigger a byelection so long as 10%of voters signed it - which seems almost certain.

Look at these two leaders, one upright, engaged, lucid and logical. One bored, slouching , not interested. Trump will no doubt rant on social media about this, as he’s too much of a coward to do it to Macron’s face. Trump knows he’s out of his depth

Social housing essentially pays for itself - due to 'ring fencing' - while the costs of temporary accommodation fall on the main council budget. So one way of easing financial strains on local authorities is to promote social housing. Unfortunately this argument does not necessarily appeal to some of the people running the #labourparty !
