  • Interesting overview of the national picture re the nhs. But unfortuntely we dont have a national health service. Its a post code lottery, with excellence in some ltd geographic areas and massive inefficiencies in others. The GP issue was glossed over. Access to treatment is ltd to your access to a GP. There is no other route. Improved National spend and technology improvements is of little relevance if you dont have acess to a GP.

  • Consistently one of the best podcasts

    Punchy, relevant and insightful. Always a good listen. Although I thought I was listening to an episode of Yes Minister in the last episode 😊

  • Freedom of the Press

    Speaking as a European, I think Katya Adler gives free reign to wishful thinking whentalking abouthas a limited Europe, rather than reporting dispassionately. Just one example: her comment about Denmark‘s concerns over losing freedom of the press as a result of Brexit. On the Reporters without Frontiers ranking 2021, 13 EU countries rank above the UK for press freedom with Denmark 4th and the UK 33rd.
