Interesting to see Lansley criticising NHS Head Stevens for cost cutting when Lansley was the architect of reforms which led to this mess.

I agree with much of that but be fair. Respect Aisleyne1 who was not set up she’s an intelligent woman but like so many intelligent people were fed lies repeatedly by brexiteers who treated fellow citizens with total disrespect.
@VictoriaLIVE @ProfRWinston @Aisleyne1 @BBCTwo @BBCNews I don't know the Bexit loving lady in the clip but I'm dismayed at how patronising everyone is being towards her based on a 2 minute interview clearly designed to set her up. Comments labelling her an 'air head' are out of order. This is not discourse.

Thank you. I made a very weak joke at the end of two long prerecorded slightly edited interviews -incidentally Mr Shardlow I never use insecticides my family kept bees since I was about four. Why not apologise?.
@MattEAShardlow @DavidButler34 @Jes_Squirrell @ProfRWinston @BBCPM @Buzz_dont_tweet @CarolineLucas @TonyJuniper @CraigBennett3 @DaveGoulson @Team4Nature @MarkAvery @ZacGoldsmith To be honest Matt, picking a remark out of context and sensationalising it tabloid style to promote your charity is beneath you. I'd suggest you reword your original post and encourage your followers to listen to the whole interview rather than cherry picking a remark.

@graceblakeley Yes - strange that isn’t it? I wonder if it’s because they’ve seen it fail in the USSR, East Europe, Latin America, everywhere in Africa, China, Albania; come to think of it, where has it been successful?.
