It has been a fascinating last few days politically with the landslide for Labour in the UK and the turnaround in France with the right wing National Rally being relegated to third place.Could it be that the rise of right wing parties is frightening ‘normal’ people into voting to keep them out?

While I realize that our voting system is largely to blame for this, Reform were supposed to be getting 13 seats on the basis of polls but ended up with 4. National Rally in France were supposed to become the government but failed. Signs of hope?

    If you have read my blog fairly regularly, you will know that I am always banging on about how grateful I am to the NHS for keeping me going despite my various medical conditions. Well my dear wife and I now have another reason for gratitude. Unfortunately, just over a week ago, Heather had a…
