Rachel Reeves to put saving crisis-hit NHS at heart of Labour’s first Budget
Rachel Reeves will put saving the crisis-hit NHS at the heart of Labour ’s first Budget in over 14 years.
The Chancellor will prioritise putting any spare cash on cutting record waiting lists of over 7 million and repairing the broken health service. A Treasury insider told The Mirror “we know that cutting NHS waiting lists is a priority for people”.
Keir Starmer has made building a health service “fit for the future” and cutting NHS waiting times a key mission for his government. And during her conference speech last week, the Chancellor also made clear she sees the backlog as a key hurdle in getting people back into work.
BBC Strictly Come Dancing ‘fix’ row erupts as first elimination sparks uproar
BBC viewers have blasted the outcome of the first Strictly Come Dancing elimination of the series, with one of the show’s professional dancers issuing a telling comment online.

With Anton Du Beke wanting to keep Tom, while Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Toyah, it was down to Shirley. In the end, she decided to keep the 66-year-old, sending Tom home. However, viewers have been left furious with the decision and many have called the outcome a fix.
