Month after month the Conservatives are missing key targets for cancer, ambulance response times and A&E waiting times – Jonathan Ashworth
Jonathan Ashworth MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Health, commenting on the latest Combined Performance Summary from NHS England, said:
“Yet again, these shocking figures present stark evidence of the ongoing crisis facing our NHS. On almost every measurement, this February is the worst February on record which is a damning indictment of the Tories’ record of failure on the NHS.
“Month after month, the Conservatives are missing key targets for cancer, ambulance response times and A&E waiting times. Hospitals remain overstretched and understaffed, and morale amongst our hard working staff continues to be challenged by the unprecedented pressures they regularly face.
“This Tory Government has failed to get a grip on the situation facing our NHS and it’s patients and staff who are paying the price. Labour is urging the Government to take immediate action so that we never face a winter crisis like this again.”

Green Party condemns atrocities in Chechnya
13 April 2017
The Green Party has condemned the anti-gay crackdown in Chechnya [1] and has called for the international community to pressure Russia to intervene.
More than 100 men have allegedly been rounded up and imprisoned in ‘concentration camps’ and tortured.
Aimee Challenor, Green Party equalities spokesperson, said:
“What we are seeing in Chechnya is torture. LGBTIQA+ people already face significant levels of abuse and no one should be imprisoned or face violence just for being LGBTIQA+. The international community needs to do more to end this persecution and bring an end to barbaric laws restricting the rights of LGBTIQA+ people.
“The Green Party supports the ongoing work of the Russian LGBT Network in the area. Our sympathy goes out to those who are facing the horrific violence in Chechnya and we stand determined in our push for acceptance and equality for all.”
