One way to reduce those pesky NHS waiting lists.....

Targets that ensure patients see a cancer specialist within two weeks of being urgently referred by their GP in England could be scrapped, it has been revealed.

The new plans, known as the Faster Diagnosis Standard, propose that patients who have been urgently referred should have cancer ruled out or receive a diagnosis within 28 days. According to the BBC, the outcome of a consultation is set to be announced in the coming days, although this would be subject to a final sign-off by Health Secretary Steve Barclay.

However a leading cancer charity has called the news "ominous and deeply worrying". It comes after new data revealed cancer wait times in England remain well below targets set by the government and NHS.

Another great plan by the party that brought you "floating prison ship full of viruses "

The cut n paste king strikes again.
Try using your own words, it's very liberating.

1.
Steve's post made no mention of Brexit. It was used by me entirely to illustrate the fallacy of his argument.
2.
In several surveys taken just after the referendum the two reasons that consistently came out on top were 'Control of Immigration' and 'Sovereignty'.

The first three are why I voted for Brexit. Why should my opinion have changed?

Is it liberating to support a government that is so incompetent it can't even treat people with cancer in a decent manner?

Or do you just not give a f**k?

What!??

My point was alluding to the fact that the chairman of the Conservative Party recently told an interviewer that migrants could "f**k off back to France"

That pathetic, irresponsible and idiotic attitude is hardly going to help this awful situation

People are dying and drowning and we need politicians that dont behave like 12 year olds

Oh It was meant to be sarcastic!, Shame! that never works out well on Internet forums, but obviously you haven't learned that yet.
Try controlling your urge to be sarcastic & actually say what you mean, first time through, you might find it truly enlightening.

Ummm nah!

In the 70's the new york lawyer Rudy Giuliani used RICO to smash the mafia and organised crime

Now after associating with the mango moron , he himself is the subject of RICO charges

Let's hope the two idiots end up sharing a jail cell soon...

Having just finished [i[Painkiller[/i] - an excellent drama series about the OxyContin scandal - it seems he's was part of the defence team that got Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family off lightly.
He made a phone-call to friend in high-places, apparently.
Job done.

The guy is trash...

A former associate of Rudy Giuliani sued the former New York mayor, presidential candidate and attorney to Donald Trump for $10m on Monday, alleging "abuses of power, wide-ranging sexual assault and harassment, wage theft and other misconduct" including "alcohol-drenched rants that included sexist, racist and antisemitic remarks".
Filed in New York state, Noelle Dunphy's suit includes the allegation that Giuliani "often demanded oral sex while he took phone calls on speaker phone from high-profile friends and clients, including then-President Trump".
Giuliani is alleged to have told Dunphy "he enjoyed engaging in this conduct while on the telephone because it made him 'feel like Bill Clinton'".

The Borat film springs to mind.
😂

Where is Labour MP Nick Brown?
Is he going for World Champion hide n seek contender?

Nah Nadine Dorries won that months ago

He's winning by a mile.
Suspended 8 months ago - not a muff about why.
Keir is keen on saying 'Labour is the transparent party.

When the going gets tough, wheel out Nick Brown.
😂
No idea what the allegations are.
I have a feeling that when we find out it all might be a bit disappointing.
