As stated it's misreported for cheap headlines. In fairness the Leicester mercury have run the same story, also incorrectly. The original story was for another trust and it was repeated by MPs, representatives from unions and the RCN. All of which was contradictory to what the food bank said. Phew well I'm glad it's just another normal food bank and not specifically for health workers. It really is a sign of progress that health workers don't need a specific food bank while the need for more and more general food banks is increasing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then perhaps that should have been the story rather than a cheap click headline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raj Posted 25 October 2022 Share Posted 25 October 2022 A new footy manager isnt going to get a whole new line up of new players in his team, hes got to have some stability and people with some knowledge and experience. Surely this is the same for a new PM? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazzer 7 Posted 25 October 2022 Share Posted 25 October 2022 Was there all this fuss and resentment when Blair handed over to Brown in a deal hatched between the pair. Brown went on to serve as PM for around 3 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't any evidence bar one quote from Claire deeney which is vague in its wording. The food banks already operate in the 3 Leicester hospitals as per the provided link and have always been available to hospital staff if they needed to use them.

Available elsewhere sure, but the story makes clear this one is *specifically* for NHS staff. Nothing ambiguous about the quote at all. It makes clear it's to support "our colleagues", as in UHL staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah comparing Blair standing down and Brown taking over for a decent length of time compared to this sh**show is a reach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they set up a food bank next door to one that operates already and would already supply NHS staff if it was required? One with volunteers and a regular supply of food already?

Brown went on to serve as PM for around 3 years! There was a bit of disgruntlement.The constant PM change’s of recent years is different gravy.Besides Brown should’ve called an election at the earliest possible time.He would’ve won.Smaller majority granted but enough to get him leeway.He bottled it. Anyway I don’t count anyone as PM until they’ve gone to the Polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
