This poem of mine was sparked by a prompt from @Jo_Bell of The Poetic Licence and is in the latest 'The Cannon's Mouth'.

I'm pleased and grateful that I have two poems in the latest The Cannon's Mouth #93

You know what's disgraceful? The fact that heading into the election @UKLabour said they would end the badger cull. And now badger culling looks set to continue until 2026.

Already my POEM OF THE DAY!!! Don't. Miss. This! Every phrase, every line....just brilliant!! And what a thrilling reading - chilling, taut, crackling with feeling.....you're see , hear & feel it....just watch this...

The NHS may be broken, according to @UKLabour @wesstreeting, but here’s how to fix it. Prevention, Prevention, Prevention, Prevention…. 1. Prevent poverty. It’s the single biggest determinant of ill health, and health and social care demand, both now and in the future. Blair and Brown made good progress in reducing it. So it can be done. 2. Prevent illness, with a relentless focus on living well, self-care, mental health support and tackling the commercial determinants of illness. Dental disease is the commonest cause of childhood operations, and yet it’s almost 100% preventable. 3. Prevent existing risks and diseases getting worse, with evidence-based screening and a substantial shift in resources to primary, community and social care 4. Preventing waste and medical harm, by ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, from the right people at the right time. This is the toughest nut to crack, as it requires adequate numbers of well trained and well rested staff working in safe, clean environments with the right equipment. We currently spent three times as much litigating harms from maternity care than we do on maternity care. This is a permanent disaster and would be a very good place to start. Instead of repeating our mistakes, we need to learn from them.

Two early mornings reading through this, two poems for my last fling in Dreich. Thanks to Jack, sorry to see you go. Paul Stephenson made me smile. Steven Taylor sent chills down the spine. I know Hyde. Lots of others admired and enjoyed.
