Good news! No doubt the next Labour government will try again though.

Why’s that?

I get why they’re using Twitter, as they want to reach as huge audience, but they really should look into running their own Mastodon instance and promoting that instead.

- Comment on Why the NHS still wastes billions on patients who shouldn't be in hospital 3 days ago:
Plus there are a further 4,000 around the rest of the UK - which means around one in eight beds are occupied by people who don’t necessarily need to be there.
Many of these “delayed discharge” patients are older and may be frail and living with multiple health conditions who need support in the community.
This was the case for my Dad. He’d recovered but was awaiting a place at rehabilitiation, but there weren’t any spaces (the rehab places are at care homes). The physio’s wouldn’t let him be discharged home so he was in hospital for over a week longer than he needed to be until a space opened up.

- Comment on Drivers over 70 to undergo eye tests every three years under plans to improve road safety | LBC 1 week ago:
Making it harder for poorer working people to get to work. This would be yet another cost that people have to face. Those that can’t afford to re-take it but need their car to get to work would end up criminalised.

A quick Google suggests the salary is around £30,000, which would put it above the living wage. It’s not an amazing salary, but let’s say that got bumped to £40,000 and then you’d need to hire probably at least 10x the number of examiners to be able to cope with the demand, then suddenly that gets very expensive.
There’d be arguments about whether it’s actually financially worth it and whether there’s even though labour supply to achieve the number of examiners required.

- Comment on Apartment blocks causing issues for UK fiber broadband 1 month ago:
When I rented a flat nearly 10 years ago, we had to get a wireless broadband solution as the local area hadn’t got any decent broadband installed yet (despite being a brand new village between two towns), however to install it they needed to drill through the entire wall. To do that I needed the landlords permission, but it turns out it was owned by someone (or an entity) in China and the estate agent couldn’t get ahold of them, so I said fuck it and just said yes they can go ahead and do it.
