Here’s a must-read article from the Independent. It reports that David Cameron resigned as MP for Witney Monday, meaning his role in the House of Commons will end and a by-election will take place. The 11 charts are not dreamed up by populists, they are evidence of his legacy.

Surely we need political leaders who have experienced real life?

Sometimes it’s better to read the original source, not a biased viewpoint presented by journalists looking to score career points with editors and newspaper owners.

Unfortunately, the political establishment are not being honest with voters about the future of public healthcare in the UK under the NHS.

It’s time for politicians to get honest about the NHS before it becomes the next political football seized by populists either from the far-right or the far-left.
