Be afraid. Be very afraid.

It’s so late there’s no-one awake on Twitter; but I don’t want to go to bed yet, because I’ve just watched Labour’s latest party election broadcast, and I don’t want nightmares. The film has attracted some criticism, even from within

Tories: We’re the progressive party…well, not him. Or him. Or him.

The day Twitter went Bevanite

Inspired by the lies Dan Hannan has been telling the US media about our wonderful health service (and don’t forget that Cameron has still not condemned Hannan’s comments), the American right has started laying into it even more. The Brits

The hive-mind takes on Hannan

If you’re reading this, you probably read last night’s post on Dan Hannan’s contempt for the NHS. But it wasn’t just me: some of the finest minds on the internet were having a crack at Hannan and his Tory cronies

Our doctors and nurses: an electoral bloc, says Hannan

Dan Hannan’s still off on his badmouthing-the-NHS-around-the-world tour, this time telling the Army & Navy Club in Washington that free healthcare (like what we’ve got) represents a ‘huge power grab by the state machine’. Someone give the boy a biscuit.

Tuesday = telly

There’s an interesting contrast on TV at the moment in terms of guilting-the-public-into-feeding-their-kids-better adverts. The Department of Health/NHS Choices’ friendly, cuddly, no-long-words Change4Life advert launched just after New Year – I’m a big fan of its non-specific exhortation to ‘Move
