Never heard of the guy before but some of his comments and the replies are hilarious. Anyone who has 15 min to spare should look through his timeline since his phone was nicked.

It’s a belting read. He just keeps digging a bigger hole for himself

Maybe? 

I'd say that's the exception rather than the rule though. Maybe I've just been unlucky. 

What area are you in?

None. Those are paragraphs from Karl Marx's 'Capital'.

I swear, if I hear a Tory MP say 'Labour Don't have a plan' on telly one more time I'm going to stick my foot through the screen!

That prick Jonathan Gullis was a teacher when he was elected in 2019. 
 

Now he’s worth a couple of million. 
 

That's why these fuckers want to do it. 

He was elected. By the public, like any other mp. Why pick him over any other?

He didn't apply for a job in the way teachers or anyone else do.

Having to stand on a ticket, and do stuff for constituents etc, with only a guarantee of a job for a few years is a risk. Especially as someone can be a fine constituency mp, but lose out in a national vote. 

Good luck to them if they get the gig.

As an aside, being in post for 5 years, under an mps salary doesn't yield that sort of earnings.

You’ve missed the point entirely.

"Advisory work" no doubt

[Not in Crawley]

Luckily, I don't normally have to go into Hospital. This weekend I spent 24 hours there (before RW, Bolty and Mounts start worrying, it wasn't for me) also sorry if this is a rant but had 5 hours sleep in the last 3 days.

I honestly can't describe how much they are doing with so much with so little, spent 24 hours with 15 other patients and families in a corridor. Having said that over the weekend we got health and mental health assesments (the CAMS team out at 2am on a saturday with a two hour session) but as the consultant said on his morning rounds, not enough beds, not enough nurses, not enough doctors.

Despite the security team we had to notifiy them as some dodgy bloke was wandering around the corridor ward all night and trying to speak/follow round an 16 year old girl who was there overnight on with a drip with a severe chest infection by herself, she was next to an old bloke who had a kidney problem - the best the patients got as bigger seats and at least I could drive home and get food, change of clothes etc. Me and my mrs were getting water and buying snacks for folks as there wasn't anyone to sort out for them (the teams on food service when it was there , were brilliant though) None of the patients had any private areas - folk embarresed to vomit despite obvious sickness because, well its in front of people.

We got amazing treatment, but just seeing everything was a real eyeopener on how stretched to capacity things are. Again, no issues with the treatment - totally first class by every person who we saw, lord knows how they do it and keep their calm with some people.

Hats off to the NHS, not so much perhaps how its valued.

Well, quite the thing, aside from the four doctors we saw all british Asian (admitly a presumption but Dr Hassan, Dr Patel, Dr Akram and Arif the consultant) the nurses and support staff who were black (one of the poor trainee nurses who were looking after the canulers and drips throughout the night got a gob full of Black bitch shit from the bloke we called security on) asian or chinese and the CAMS woman who was a black lady from Kent it was all yer white folk on the corridor ward. 

There was the 'Hot Doc' who was a six foot long haired young bloke who my daughter and partner kept drooling over though.

[Not in Crawley]

Also despite the worst saw some of the best in human support. One woman had been there 19 hours and was about to be discharged but stayed with this old fella who was in real pain because his phone had died for another two hours to get through to his daughter.

About 3am, my daughter was trying to get to sleep on a chair and this young woman gave up her reclining chair - despite being in pain herself so my daughter could spend the night on her chair whilst she pushed two seats together.

People are good, forced division by some doesn't help. We are a great country with good, accepting values, we should celebrate what we are, not our differences.

As I say, I had to be up at 5am this morning for work after not sleeping all weekend - so I'm pretty broken/emotional.

Thanks, really appreciate it. I think we've started on a positive path, I don't know, just putting one foot in front of the other like everyone else.

The step mum is doing the real hard graft - fuck knows where we'd be without a non bullshit North Easterner on the team.

Two friends were there this weekend with family and their experiences echo yours NiC. Both elderly patients, over 24 hours in the corridor, with 6 or 7 patients in front of them and ambulances parked outside waiting to drop patients off.

As frustrated as they both were, they were full of admiration too for the staff.  Doing everything imaginable in incredibly tough circumstances.

Hope all works out OK.
