Watching #Casualty and I’m so fucking angry. Tory cronyism and arrogance has put us in the worst possible position- perhaps bar USA policy. ‘We are the mighty U.K.- we will be fine’ Brexit mentality of Britain being the king of the world made us ill prepared. We refused to /1

Staff forced to work with no protection in hospitals and schools, no extra budget. No extra help. Build a couple of fancy looking hospitals that could never be used because there are NO staff for them. It could have been spent on staff. Refusing offers of free PPE to fulfil /4

And on and on. But we know all of this and we are powerless to the narcissistic self serving twonks in no10. So I’ll just watch #Casualty and sob and be angry. /end
