Meanwhile, the underfunded, cash-strapped NHS seeks to recruit more essential staff.

Service users? You mean 'patients'?

And 'reaching out to communities'? People who are marooned from civilisation, cut off from the rest of the world? Isn't that what District Nurses are meant to do?

This role is to pay some dope over £40k a year to maintain a Twitter feed, for God's sake. It is a criminal waste of resources.

I think your choice of words is revealing. The idea is to encourage people to keep well before they become patients. You just make cheap shots with no real understanding of the rationale.

Tory attack ad misrepresents Corbyn views on IRA, says Labour.

Widely shared video uses misleading edit of Corbyn’s interview on Sky News, cut to suggest he did not condemn bombing.

Looks like its true and the part where Corbyn condemns all bombing is removed.

The idea that Corbyn was an IRA sympathizer is nonsense to anyone who is honest enough to question the Tory press. He was working for peace. On both sides there are bad people - the USA rocket program wouldn't have been the success it was without former Nazi's who were previously very relaxed about the Holocaust. They should have been in prison rather than earning a living in the USA.

I find it odd that those that criticize JC on his IRA stance also criticize him for not wanting to enter a suicide pact with humanity and declare a joy at pressing "the button." Its like saying every life the IRA destroyed was valuable but they rest of us are not.

I don't feel that was and I don't think he does either.

Also when it comes to terrorism people need see what the British state got up to when supporting Pol Pot - after it was known he killed thousands. The death toll in the Irish wars is tiny in comparison - though no less painful if you and yours were caught up in it.

Thatcher tried to put Pol Pot back into power and that has got to be one of the darkest moment of our history. Yet the Daily Mail, The Sun, The Express and the Telegraph have not a word on it.

Enough said.

Senior Conservatives have said there are "no plans" to raise income tax if the party wins the general election, in an apparent change of policy.

Sir Michael Fallon said high earners had nothing to worry about, while Boris Johnson said there were "absolutely no plans to raise income tax".

So there we are a guarantee of tax increases probably severe can the disabled and people 'getting by' afford to pay?

The Chancellor whose job is to raise the taxes not available for comment.
