We remember today the tragic loss of 3 lives, 79 people injured in a motivated hate crime aimed at the local community at the Admiral Duncan.
With great sadness our thoughts are with those affected, their family and friends and the local community. There is no place for hate.

NEW: we need to talk about NHS staff retention.
At a time when Britain’s healthcare system is acutely short of workers, *1 in 7* UK-trained doctors are practising overseas. No other developed country is like this, which immediately tells you there’s a problem.
