Extra £900 a year this year, keeping the triple lock, plus the extra tax allowance can only be a good thing…for pensioners.
Hoping it carries on this way.

Anyhow, I'm pleased that Angela Raynor has this cloud lifted although she's always maintained she hadn't done anything wrong anyway and followed all the legal and financial advice she requested at the time.
Which the police will have seen and scrutinised.

Good luck to her from a HARD-LINE Labour supporter and member, namely myself.
This is good news for her today.

Raynors case hasn't been dropped per se, the Police have just lumped it over to HMRC and the Council, not sure why the would do that if they fully investigated it and found nothing

The SNP say they are the party to vote for as they will concentrate on Scotland, like have they ever done anything else, imagine any other party coming out with that line, they would be trounced

absolute wallopers

they have done so well with the NHS etc, their record speaks for itself

I actually think that labour might get a shock in Scotland and find that it is the tories that pick up the most seats from the SNP. Scotland has never followed england like sheep with their politics

Because if she has done anything wrong, I'm going to guess that the sum isn't that huge for the Police to take that seriously.

No Mock
The reason it was referred to the Council and HMRC is that's not the part of the issue the police would normally deal with.

However, the Council nor HMRC also see no action to take .

It won't stop the smears though.
The Cons either hate or fear Angela Raynor so will look for anything at all to attempt to discredit her.

It's a pity she wouldn't set out to prosecute those who falsely accuse her of things.
If she did of course, then she'd be attacked for being spiteful and vindictive from those who intensely dislike her.

There was nothing here.
Even if anything had been incorrect.
She took Independent legal and financial advice on going about this sale.
Which she followed to the letter.

So it would have more likely been the advice was wrong but it's been found that it wasn't wrong and neither is she.
Pure and simple.
Much to the Cons smouldering frustration to discredit her.

I agree with you personally.

I'm just thinking on the off chance that there is even an offence that she might've committed, I'm gathering that it would've been minor, as like you've said yourself Joey, the Police have struggled to find anything on her.

The Tories love using the police as their own personal propaganda force, what with ‘curry gate’ and now this, forcing the police to investigate their opponents multiple times for farcical reasons, it’s politics at its worst

Joey, maybe you can answer this, Starmer wants to get NHS appointment waiting lists down which is good,but how can he do that if as we are told they are short of staff ? they can only deal with what they are dealing with now, so how will that be possible ?

It's not possible unless you remove people from lists

He'll have to try and find a way of creating new jobs at the NHS would be my guess.

Joey will definitely have the better answer though.

Yes I'll try to in a small way hopefully Kazanne.

I think you'll recall when Mr ugh Blair won in 1997.
He started to get the then waiting lists down by bringing in private sources.
This is Streeting's plan too to help with that.

I'm pleased too that Wes Streeting realises that major reform of the NHS will be necessary.
Not to break it's core founding of care free at the point of need.
However to make more of the resources already in place which are not being used more efficiently.

Plus, he's looking to have weekend working too, which will help considerably in dealing with the backlog in conjunction too with the private input too.

That's the starting point and sorry I was only 5 when this was done from 1997.
However it had a big impact on the then high waiting list that had built up to 1997.

I think too, and he's rightly said even today, he cannot give the Junior Doctors anything like 35% on wages.
However he will meet regularly and negotiate across the board on all their concerns not just pay.

Myself, I believe he can then just with those things, start to substantially bring down the waiting lists.
It's scandalous to me that elderly people are on the list for operations for cataracts, knee and hip operations for a year and in many cases years.

Plus too, digressing now, if Streeting's looking for ideas to fully reform the NHS .
Then if I was him, I'd start by phasing out the parasitical trust management set up.
Get back to something like Matrons running hospitals.

Those trust managers and their endless number of admin staff for them.
Contribute not a single thing to hands on care.
I'd rather see them replaced by new Doctors and Nurses.
That's what I'd like to see.

It's not going to be easy and I don't want to get party political with you because I know you genuinely believe in the Conservatives and respect that.

However the confrontational attitude towards Junior Doctors and the lip service to the NHS as to how great it is, is NOT going to do much to bring down waiting lists.

Hope I've said some little thing to help answer your query there Kazanne

Thankyou Joey . I am undecided at the moment as to who to vote for , but I am agreeing with you in the fact that some of the old style NHS would be better (matrons etc) also i think those at the top should be overhauled. I do think a lot is wasted, I wish you luck with your campaign,exciting times for you x
