RT @doctorpallavi: In the #AutumnStatement Jeremy Hunt says he wants โScandinavian quality alongside Singaporean efficiencyโโ - even as he fails to address the very real problems of understaffing, poor pay and terrible working conditions in the #NHS and #socialcare

But we can't continue to put off addressing social care crisis. That's why @TheGreenParty is calling for a free at point of use system to give people certainty &dignity

The elephant in the room is #Brexit which caused:
-a drop of 15% in our trade
-a 4% fall in productivity
-a 6% food price rise
-lower wages
-highest inflation in G7
-workforce shortages
-AND most of the Governmentsโs budget deficit!

RT @cambsforeurope: @CarolineLucas @BestForBritain @euromove And in reply all Hunt could do was fall back on the usual vacuous nonsense about "opportunities".
In time "Brexit opportunities" will rank with "efficiency savings" as the marker of a politician who has run out of ideas.

Govt is pushing us into yet more damaging austerity, in the name of political ideology rather than economic necessity. Making "difficult decisions" as Chancellor said time and time again in #AutumnStatement is just code for hitting the poorest people hardest.

France has a v. good health service where you can see a doctor the same or the next day.
UK = high taxes, third world public services.
