has courage and experience to speak the truth about the disaster of a no-deal Brexit. He should be praised not attacked
Thanks. I accept

13y of neglect ….where life expectancy ⬇️, children are <7 cm shorter due to stunted growth & fantasy ‘40 new hospitals’ 🤬
As a former NHS doctor, it makes me sad and angry to see doctors involved in action which I believe to be unethical and unforgivable, given the harm being done to patients and the NHS itself
So let me get this right
