Thanks from all us @TheBDA for your support Mary. The Treasury love the idea of health professionals delivering care at a financial loss. But a service millions depend on is built on sand working on this basis. NHS dentistry needs reform & sustainable funding.

Today, we are thinking very strongly of Clarence “Big Man” Clemons. Gone 15 years ago, on June 18, 2011, he left a huge hole in the E Street Band and in our hearts. The bond he shared with Bruce was unique. Their friendship could be felt at every concert, in every look, in every solo. We miss you, Big Man. Today is your day.

"Without dental practices doing private dentistry many would not be able to carry on providing NHS work," says @EddieCrouch. No health professional can be expected to lose money delivering NHS care. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czrx…

"Millions make a positive decision to go private," says @eddiecrouch But many have felt forced to do so or simply gone without the care they need as a direct result of political choices made at the Treasury and the Department of Health. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czrx…

"At the heart of the problem is the NHS dental contract says @william_pett from @HealthwatchE "It's not working for dentists and it's not working for patients." Spot on. We have a system that suits government accountants, but fails this profession and the millions we serve.

The public and the profession are on the same page. Politicians need to catch up.

Nice to speak to @CharlotteCane8 MP today. Thank you for your support as we call for sustainable funding NHS dentistry, and urgent reform of the dysfunctional contract driving the ongoing access crisis. @theBDA

This wee guy busking in town on Buchanan street.😍

It’s a cracking idea Jon but every government in my 25 year career has neglected dentistry and the only reason an NHS system still exists is that some of us are to stubborn to give in despite the shit we have to go through

Please retweet. This Sunday take action to #SaveNHSDentists NHS dentists need our support now more than ever. Together, we can work to ensure that every person has access to dental care they need. Let's fight for the future of NHS dentistry.@jamesmurray_ldn

One Sikh man committed a murder. 535,000 British Sikhs did not. They served in our armies. They built our cities. They fed our homeless. They sheltered our children after Manchester. Know your allies. Don’t let hatred win. #BritainTogether #BritishIndians

Do the women there have fat bellies & weird shapes?

Don't forget to knock on No 12, and say hi to Steve.... #Reform #Makerfield #Rob

This morning I asked myself, not for the first time, who is Nigel and I made some notes. And it does add up. Here is a man who sells himself as the ordinary bloke with a pint, the man of the people, the great outsider standing up against the establishment. And yet somehow this ordinary bloke always seems to arrive with a camera crew, a donor network, a friendly broadcaster, and now a parliamentary investigation into a £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire. Very normal. Very grassroots. Very “just one of the lads”. The peoples revolt, apparently, now comes with lighting, branding, fundraising dinners, professional outrage, and a small question about whether millions should have been declared properly. Everything is a betrayal when Labour does it. Everything is “nothing to see here” when Nigel does it. Housing? Blame Labour. The NHS? Blame Labour. The economy? Blame Labour. Boats? Blame Labour. A £5 million gift? Suddenly everybody must calm down and respect the process. And then came Tuesday. A young man died. A family was grieving. A country was trying to understand something horrific. And Farage stepped forward. Not with calm. Not with care. Not with responsibilty. But with his announcement of “pure cold rage”. That phrase matters. Because anger is human. Anger can be moral. Anger can demand answers, justice, accountability and truth. I understand anger. A lot of people are angry. They have every right to ask serious questions. But rage is different. Rage does not ask careful questions. Rage does not wait for investigations. Rage does not protect grieving families from becoming political props. Rage looks for a target. And that is where Farage always seems most comfertable. Not solving the pain. Not calming the country. Not asking how institutions failed and how they can be fixed. But standing beside the pain with a microphone, turning the temprature up, and calling it leadership. Warm enough to repost. Warm enough to donate. Warm enough to vote. But never calm enough to ask: “Hang on, who benefits from keeping us this angry?” That is the trick. He does not need Britain to feel hopeful. He does not even need Britain to feel informed. He needs Britain permanently one headline away from rage. Because rage is usefull. It fills rallies. It drives clicks. It turns grief into theatre. It makes slogans feel like solutions. And while everyone is shouting, nobody asks the boring questions. Where is the plan? Where is the funding? Where are the costings? Where is the responsibilty? Maybe that is who Nigel Farage is. Not the man of the people. But the man who knows exactly how to turn peoples pain into his own political stage. The Reform & Tory Sitcom continues. Same chaos. Different rosette. Anger can demand answers. Rage just sells tickets. If this speaks to you, please add your comments, repost it, and maybe follow me — not for me, but because politics needs fewer slogans and more people asking proper questions. #Farage #ReformUK
