Rishi Sunak says Britain would go ‘back to square one’ with Labour ahead of first major campaign event of year – UK politics live

Prime minister to speak in north-west of England as MP says Tories have to accept ‘we have left the country sadder and less united’

The article writer has a good summary:

There are three types of campaign you can run during an election: ‘it’s time for a change’ (normally an opposition message, but a governing party can also campaign like this, as Boris Johnson did in 2019); ‘give us time to finish the job’ (the standard incumbent’s message); or (the last resort option) ‘you might not like us, but at least we’re not as bad as the other lot’.

All this albatross can tell is, if he’s saying that, there’s an election a coming.

    It’s fine, there are three easy ways to get a GPs appointment in a timely manner:

    • Be really rich
    • Have a parent who is a GP
    • Call your GP on 5 separate phone lines, spreading the start of the call between 07:59:40 and 08:00:20

      Honestly, most effective tactic I’ve found is to go in to the GP at opening time. The receptionists talk to you before answering the next phone call.

      Not ethical but :/

      Hey now that’s not fair. I called the doctors last week to get an appointment for my 3 year old, and was given one in only 3 weeks time! That’s the kind of speedy service one needs from the basic frontline healthcare provider in one of the richest countries in the world.

      Or go online about 6.00am and get one of the slots that were dropped onto the system overnight.
