In an attempt to deflect the tidal wave of blame looming
over this inept and mendacious UK government, Dominic Raab boasted at PMQs yesterday:
”People said that we
couldn’t build a hospital in this country at that kind of speed, and we’ve
built several, with more to come.”
Unsurprisingly,
he neglected to mention the 100,000 unfilled staff vacancies arising from 10
years of neglecting the NHS, which mean that there aren’t enough ICU staff for
those new hospitals, and patients are being turned away (see report here). Not to mention the homicidal
negligence shown by the government with regard to PPE procurement, so even if
there were available staff, they’d be inadequately protected (See
Philip Pullman's excellent essay on the subject here).
More proof, as if
it were needed, that we can’t rely on Johnson & his cronies to lead the
country anywhere other than a crashing out of the EU. (See
analysis here) Except when it comes to keeping access to Europol databases, obvs
One bit of good
news is that the Labour party seem to have elected an effective leader of the
opposition, capable of holding the complacent and useless bastards to account.
