Do you think we care well enough for the more vulnerable in our society?
Have we figured out how best to care for people who've experienced bereavement, people who get ill in old age, those with mental ill-health or adults with learning disabilities?
My own personal experience tells me we haven't. Whether in my own life or for many constituents in my advice surgeries over 20 years, all too often the care and support systems either don't work well enough or aren't even there at all.
It was embarrassing, even humiliating, that the British prime minister was not given notice of the American assassination of the Iranian general

Boris Johnson's government has set out a disastrous agenda which will force through a hard Brexit, undermine our public services, destroy opportunities for our communities and cripple living standards.
Brexit will hinder our ability to safeguard our NHS and reduce our capacity to tackle the climate crisis.
