Too busy with her efficiency savings which she will no doubt prepare with Glee.

Thérèse Coffey scraps promised paper on health inequality
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... SApp_Other

At last, a Tory politician who understands news management.

[Crabcakes]

Why would the Tories scrap a plan that would save the NHS money in favour of a scenario that would cost loads down the line, apart from for better off people who could afford private healthcare, and make tons of cash for junk food companies and oh right.

[Andy McDandy]

Same reason why Owen Paterson needed to be paid a few thousand to sing the praises of Randox, rather than do so out of the goodness of his heart and admiration of their products. If Labour seek to make political capital out of situations, the Tories will seek to make, erm, actual capital.

See, we don’t need all those doctors and nurses, anyone can do it!
Good job the friend didn’t have an allergic reaction, or worse, died.

We can be sure that the friend didn't complete the whole course.
And you know what happens next.
Superbugs, that's what.

More like him than you ever imagined

Thérèse Coffey: said: “It is not the role of government to provide free food.”
No, but it is your role, and the government you are a member of, to address the issues and factors that have lead us to this point. Although having said that, it’s the same government that has caused said issues and factors in the first place

[davidjay]

I would have thought it was a fairly basic role of government to prevent its people from starving, but I'm just a woke leftard.

[Andy McDandy]

Another Randian who'd be elbowing her way to the front of the food bank queue if things got tough.

[RedSparrows]

'What system? Oh this one, the one we have an enormous amount of power over? Nah mate, nothing to do with us'

Obviously no pub landlords or bra manufacturers put in a bid

Environment Agency pulls £50m scheme to protect homes in England from flooding

Well, face it, they'd only go and vote Green or Labour afterwards anyway, and with a bit of luck they either drown or they lose their ID. Hard to get a new passport delivered to the community centre.

[mattomac]

Does feel like a government that’s given up, will do very little and leave someone else to deal with it see also pensions.

I don’t think Sunak particularly craves power and a bit of reality to set in last week, yes Labour aren’t Blair levels of support but the Tories are less liked now than at any time anyone would remember.

Cull the wild birds. They shit in the water.

Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey MP has appeared to partially blame wild birds for the poor water quality found at a site on the Suffolk coast.

Ms Coffey was visiting Martlesham Creek in the weeks after a new sign was erected there, playfully renaming the site as 'Sh*t Creek (Formerly Martlesham Creek)' after the spot failed in a bid for bathing water status and. Water testing conducted at the creek by Eamonn O'Nolan, a representative of the Woodbridge Climate Action Centre and a former Woodbridge mayor, found high levels of E. coli in five places...

Thérèse Coffey] told the committee that some people’s homes were flooded by Storm Babet because the rain came from the east, not the west, so it was more difficult to predict,

Words fail me

"The wrong kind of rain"

[Andy McDandy]

I think she'll find that it mostly came from above.

But seriously, it's not so much the rain as the rivers, and the state of flood defences. Wherever it comes from, the rivers are going to swell and overspill and you'll have flooding. And if you allow homebuilding on flood plains without properly draining the land and not investing in flood defences, this will happen again and again.

It can be prevented, but it involves money and effort. So, not under this shower.
