Worshiping and Defiling Britain’s NHS
Tories worshipping Britain’s National Health System are akin to fanatical carnivores who suddenly extol the virtues of vegans. Has the grave response to COVID-19 signalled a change of heart?

The smearing of Ken Loach and Jeremy Corbyn is the face of our new toxic politics
Last month Loach found himself plunged into the heart of a pitiless drama that could have come straight from one of his own films.
