Waiting lists had pretty much risen month on month since *checks graph* 2010/2011, trebling from 2.5 million to 7.5 million.
They've now started to fall, month on month, for the first time in 15 years, from around *checks graph* August 2024.
Wonder if anything happened around those dates?
Farcking 'ell. Have you been appointed as the new Roger O Thornhill of this board, or something? Anytime anyone criticises Labour, it's like you're activated to leap to the defence.

Doctors going back helps.
January 25 figures
73.4% urgently referred for suspected cancer met within 28 days, down from 78.1%
6.25 million waiting for operations up from 6.24 million
Beds blocked by people well enough to leave but don’t up from 13,450 to 13,740.
NHS reforms, benefits reforms. Needed and something the Tories should have done but didn’t have the balls, though lots of other crap going on. Nah, they didn’t have the balls. For once looking forward to Reeves statement. Labour. Eyes right. They know it makes sense.
Benefit reforms dont look right to me. I thought it was obvious that with the increase in claimants they just needed to raise the bar for who can claim, but they seem to have made a mess of it and will be punishing pretty much everyone instead.
I've been looking at these welfare cuts and honestly , I can't tell the difference between the Tories and the Labour Party . They are both the same except Starmer is a more convincing lier than Boris . Two cheeks of the same arse .

Have to agree. Whilst I believe reform is needed to make sure those with a genuine need are well supported whilst ensuring benefits can never be a lifestyle choice, I’m not convinced these, as I understand them, are a solution at all. Shambles.

The benefits cuts are just turbo charged austerity and to pay for arms to Ukraine. They are immoral.
They only want our kids and money for war.
Austerity is alive and well right now. People, young to old, are getting a kicking one way or another and it will get worse. Makes a whole new meaning to “four more years”

Don't be Stupid.
Boris & Co fraudulently stole £21 billion from the country during covid.
Sunak did a deal with his wife & dad's company for a Billion & a half .

That paragraph is the only shambles.
Meaningless Drivel.
Just watched a Garys Economics video and he says Labour will fail because although they're being 'sensible' with the economy they aren't tackling inequality and are making the same mistakes the democrats did. Unless they can halt the slide in living standards they'll lose the next election.

Did he do that thing where he takes 20 minutes to sum up a point that could be made in under 5?
