Annual CQC report for 2013/14 apparently shows an NHS struggling to cope.
Denis Campbell has a piece in the Graun where as usual he mentions Mid Staffs yet Ctrl F & term Mid Staffs shows not a single result !
Anyway, here's the report & good luck to those of you who will fight Rusty & his Chicken sidekick who doubtless will be crowing all day.

First I've heard of it. (The NAO investigation, not the power-station!)In recent days both the Labour Party and the Commons Environmental Audit Committee have urged the spending watchdog to examine the deal, which commits consumers to pay up to £17bn in subsidies to developer EDF over a 35-year period.
But the NAO confirmed on Thursday night that an investigation was in fact already well underway.
It announced the move in a little-noticed statement on its website on October 21st last year, the day the headline terms of a subsidy contract with the Government were unveiled.
This time, I'm gonna be stronger I'm not giving in...

Morning all...will be staying off t'interweb today...too much exposure to the twatty-twitterers who are now saying...
'Fraud may have said it wrong, but at least he's started a debate about the disabled and employment' (How the f**k did HE start the debate?)
'Labours' Angela Eagle misjudges public mood and gets heckled on QT - 'cos the audience know what Fraud meant, and it wasn't what he said'
...and finally...enough to put anyone off their cornflakes...it's all because that nasty hypocritical Ed Miliband is 'besieged'...

What is conspicuous by its absence in the echo chamber of no debate-can anybody hazard a guess.Of course to point out the irony of the proven incompetent pontificating about the deemed "less able"would be scrupulously ignored.Good trick to play -you're too thick to understand we will talk for you,if you proffer a different view you're being used.

Liars, liars, liars.
Apparently Brokenshire said it had fallen a quarter since its peak under Labour. But that had already happened when Labour left government! Since when it fell further then climbed back again to, as you say, slightly higher than when the Coalition took over.
Unscrupulous, lying charlatans.

In other news, the economic miracle is going so well that the Bank is going to hold interest rates down.
I'm no economist, but I think we might have quite some work to do here over the next 7 months calling Osborne when he blames everyone but himself for the floundering economy.
While I'm on that, a reminder that when he blames the Euro for falling exports jump on him, because the most recent figures show it is exports to non-EU countries that have stalled.

This piece on the OBR and tax receipt forecasts completely nails the economic "miracle".

Low earners don't earn enough to pay tax.

High tax earners have delayed payments to take advantage of a tax cut.The Office for Budget Responsibility had forecast that income tax receipts would rise 6.5 percent this financial year, but so far they are down compared with 2013/14
Low earners don't earn enough to pay tax.
Separately, official figures showed the tax gap - the difference between the amount of tax due and the amount actually collected - increased to 6.8 percent in 2012/13, or 34 billion pounds, from 6.6 percent in 2011/12

I asked why he would be doing that but it got modded - can't point out the obvious that he's got a vested interest in seeing the NHS broken up.

Re: Friday 17th October
I don't watch all of QT, it's intolerable, but I usually flick over to it a couple of times to see if the Labour panelist is allowed to speak.
Last night I caught *unt spouting a line I've heard somewhere else recently, to the effect that Lansley's reforms were all about cutting bureaucracy and there are now 20k fewer 'managers' and x'000 more doctors and nurses.
I'm very curious about this 20k number which seems improbable given that they've approx trebled the number of organisations in the NHS, as Angela Eagle tried to point out.
My suspicion is that, if it's not a barefaced lie, it comes from the Commissioning Support Groups now being in the private sector and therefore their staff aren't NHS employees.
Would love to know if anyone has seen a source.
I've done a quick search and didn't find anything directly related, but I did find this

I think the purchaser/provider split has already been abolished in Scotland, hope someone's doing some research on it.

Sorry. The short story is that the guy Tol who coordinated the Economics chapter in a report to be released this week (on Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability) added - post review by independent reviewers - a bit saying that a bit of climate change might be economically advantageous. The author of this Guardian piece, Bob Ward, notes it has been removed for the final version now due out after he pointed out that some of the data Tol - presumably by accident - used were faulty.RobertSnozers wrote:Er... what??

From his profile:RobertSnozers wrote:I was always puzzled by OpenSeas. At times, the voice of his posts differed wildly. Sometimes he came across like an outraged Kipper, sometimes the number one member of the David Cameron fanclub, at other times simply an out-an-out windup merchant (usually with praise of Nick Clegg so fulsome and extravagent it could only be designed to get a rise out of aggrieved lefties). I called him on this once, can't remember what the response was. I came to the conclusion that there must be more than one person using the account - which suggests a number of accounts potentially shared across several people.

I'm amazed that my interpolation into an article about wasting time at work is sill up.
And sure enough Rusty bit...The average person wastes five days' worth of time each year chatting to colleagues, four days making cups of tea and coffee, another four checking personal emails and three days each on internet shopping, making personal phone calls, checking social media, checking the HSJ and other media for any anti-NHS stories that they can post on CiF, running errands and smoking.

Re: Friday 17th October
Sounds about right, the 'voice' does seem to vary and that could explain the incident I mentioned above.RobertSnozers wrote:I was always puzzled by OpenSeas. At times, the voice of his posts differed wildly. Sometimes he came across like an outraged Kipper, sometimes the number one member of the David Cameron fanclub, at other times simply an out-an-out windup merchant (usually with praise of Nick Clegg so fulsome and extravagent it could only be designed to get a rise out of aggrieved lefties). I called him on this once, can't remember what the response was. I came to the conclusion that there must be more than one person using the account - which suggests a number of accounts potentially shared across several people. The 'relationship' with Rusty seems to bear that out.TheGrimSqueaker wrote:Sockpuppet, and not the only multi ID Rusty has used. And there is certainly a connection between Rusty and OpenSeas, I remember one occasion where Rusty posted using OpenSeas 'voice; either he simply forgot what hat he was wearing or somebody sat at the wrong PC, but it was funny watching them try to cover their tracks.pk1 wrote:
You missed out Rusty's friend, the happy chickie. Whenever he's trolling, his chicken friend appears - every. single. time.
It must be one & the same or else they sit on the same desk - it's far too coincidental to be otherwise.
Rog, Rusty works for CCHQ, end of. He will attempt to get any comment getting close to the truth modded, not always successfully; on one occasion he responded to one of mine with "yes, that is what I do", trying to pass it off as a joke but then realising he'd outed himself - had to report his own post to cover his tracks!
Do the mods care? No, because they are plants like Fripouille who have an agenda.
Fripouille? Frip is exactly who he claims to be, an aging wannabe rockstar living in France, who thinks himself a ladies man and enjoys a drink or three (and gets very argumentative after the three); I know people who have met him (I declined to attend that meet up partially because I knew he was going to be there) and he can apparently be quite charming ....early on.

Re: Friday 17th October
Some are seeing this as sign that Basildon South and East Thurrock MP Stephen Metcalfe is on the verge of defecting to the Kippers, straw clutching?

I have sent an email to the Graun (and CC'd Rusbridger) asking about my pre-mod. I've also asked why rusty & happy get away with so much.letsskiptotheleft wrote:refitman wrote:Whoops, looks like Rusty forgot which computer he was using:

If you don't object, I will forward this onto Sparrow and ask if he has any further feedback from our earlier conversations.refitman wrote:I have sent an email to the Graun (and CC'd Rusbridger) asking about my pre-mod.
