No Syd, it is briefing from Labour HQ to try to set a news agenda.

On some occasions, the briefings are true.....other briefings are meant as disinformation.
It happens every day to lobby journos.

Will try another way, have you got a copy of the briefing?

PS: I know how parliamentary lobbying and think tanks work

Syd,

The lobby is a main plank of the UK system.
It is explained here;
https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/parliamentary-lobby

It is used to direct media interest towards certain topics and divert away from others.
In addition, it is used to try to frame the media narrative, so that how the story is covered supports a particular view.

Lots of info online if you want to check.

all these thinktanks I.e. institute for economic affairs

Sunday Times now reporting DA has been offered a place in the House of Lords, if she gives up her seat in Hackney for one of his parachute clones.

I thought he was supposed to be abolishing the HoL?
to summarise labour it is almost as if they know that by putting no effort in won't make a difference to getting votes.

Apologies for that. I'm genuinely bewildered at what the disagreement is about, and I do take it too personally when entirely unfair accusations get chucked my way.

I've made my point and am happy to draw a line.

I’ve heard that Hull are massively investing this year ! I work over there and the figure bounced about is £70 million, if indeed this is the case maybe they’ll release or offload TLT ! Thoughts ?

I meant to say that 32 of the 40 promised new hospitals SHOULD have been built (by 2030). The plan was to have all 40 completed between 2021 and 2030.
