TBF Corbyn pledged to scrap the planned ICS scheme at the last GE. Now I think he lost the last GE on brexit, you don’t. On that basis you probably need to rethink your approach to ICS’s as it’s clearly not a vote winner to scrap it. Part of the reason that the NHS is struggling is because it can’t discharge patients back into the community because the care isn’t available in the community. Obviously this needs addressing. On that basis on the surface of it an ICS is an obvious solution. How you go about it is the crux of the problem. I don’t trust the Tories to deliver it as I’m sure you don’t either, Labour are not yet clear on their solution but throwing the baby out with the bath water probably isn’t going to be the best starting point. I would wait until you hear what they have to say about it would be my first peace of advice. My second piece of advice would be to judge it against what the Tories are doing already and pledging to do at the next GE. There’s zero point of judging against what Corbyn would have done, that ship has sailed. You need to be comparing eggs with eggs.
Again, Labour are proposing reintroducing the additional tax rate cut by the Tories to help pay for improvements to the NHS and pay for social care including doubling the number of district nurses and adding 5000 healthcare visitors. You can’t deny that that isn’t going to part of a better funded ICS. Obviously there’s more details that need to come out but they’re already pledging to do some of the things you’re expecting them to pledge to do.Who said anything about Corbyn? Why are you people obsessed with Corbyn? He's gone. Left wing politics are not exclusive to him.
The ICS concept does nothing whatsoever to support social care, not a thing. There is no automatic pooling of budgets between NHS and social care and in any case if there is simply insufficient money the issues cannot be solved.
Great thread by the BBC economics correspondent. Shame this is only in Twitter and not on every single news show.

Yeah I've mentioned that book before, I actually saw the thread because Stephanie Kelton had retweeted it.I remember similar thinking in "The Deficit Myth" by Stephanie Kelton. Ive not managed to read all of it but what ive done so far has been pretty interesting (the bits i understood anyway).

I’d trust the police lead to know the law
The Met is all the evidence you need that the woke police are needed. People like Lee Anderson are more interested in turning the clock back to a time when domestic violence wasn’t considered a crime, misogyny was acceptable and there’s nothing wrong with a bit of “casual” racism. The reason the Met (and other police forces) are in such a mess is because of people of Lee’s narrow mindset running them. I hope that this new Met commissioner is every bit as woke as Lee thinks he is, it’s the only way it’s ever going to get sorted out.Even the woke police Pete!!??!?
I've no sympathy with the government in this matter at all but this is piss poor from the RCN
Nurses to cut short strike as court rules second day of action unlawful
Ruling prompts RCN leader Pat Cullen to condemn government for ‘taking its own nurses to court’www.theguardian.com
You either support their right to strike or you don'tThe striking across A&E, intensive care and maternity services risks turning the public against them too. So far people have generally been behind them, but it's a bit of an open goal when something bad happens - and it inevitably will, even if not directly related to the strike.
You might, I might, that wasn't really the point being made though.You either support their right to strike or you don't
I meant you as a collective nounYou might, I might, that wasn't really the point being made though.

Telegraph says his involvement in the £800k loan to the Clown was a 'technical breach' so he should get away with it. Funny that, I didn't realise you could use that term as a get out of jail free card.Would that be the 'left wing' BBC headed by Richard 'not a tory shill' Sharp?

And yet in amongst all this is Johnson himself borrowing money from all over the place. What's he spending it all on?So I guess if someone where to call him a technical Tory stooge on air then they should get away with it?
Surely the operative word there is 'breach'. I don't think adding 'technical' in front of it makes it any better or means he should be let off. If it's a technical breach it's still a breach and therefore should be liable to whatever penalties and sanctions come with it.
