this is what the labour mp jonathan ashworth had to say about the health secretary's decision to allowt covid just before 19july — causing the prime minister to have to self—isolate, predicted that case numbers could soar. he set the startjuly that... then there were those who said — one expert said there was a unique opportunity here to become a "petri dish for the world." this is a slight gamble, this is a slight experiment at the moment. i think it's justifiable and i'm reasonably optimistic. so has the government's gamble paid off? well, in the past six weeks, we have certainly seen enough to make critics of the government's plan nervous. scenes like this at the london bar heaven at the stroke of midnight on so—called "freedom day". various festivals, people flocking to beaches, crowded bars and restauarants. case numbers have certainly risen — but not to the levels that were feared. the highest they have reached since 19july is just over 54,000 cases per day — less than half of that 100,000 figure that was feared. meanwhile, the average death rate is 100 per day — which is far bel

stress and burnout, as well as health and work life balance were significantly improved across practically all groups. so you're telling me that abuse been last time labouring in a miserable office place. you end up happier. well, that can't be true. now you're going to tell me dog. what's up with we do what? that seems uncalled for. anyway, working a little last makes people happier and healthier. ok noted, but still i bet productivity. totally greater during this study. right. and isn't that what capitalism is all about? your happiness and health doesn't matter, as long as the widget get made and shipped and, and very rich fat people get richer, right? but actually, productivity and service provision remained the same or improved across the majority of workplaces included in the trial. but it gets even easier after iceland review this study. they did something bananas. they took what they learned and they applied it to their society. as a result of new agreement struck in 2019 to 2021 after the trials ended, 86 percent devices, entire working population. now either a reduced hours or flexibility within their contracts to reduce hours. but here's something

health care workers who work in medical facilities that participate in medicare, which is a lot of different hospitals, 25,000 medical workers covered will have to get vaccinated. no options to do testing. the labour have regulations that require any employer with over 100 employees to either mandate vaccinations for their workers or have those workers up their workers or have those workers up tested on a weekly basis. not quite as forceful for what biden is doing, but i think that will still put pressures on these employers to get these employees vaccinated. we're talking about 100 million american workers, about two thirds of the us labour force will be under some sort of vaccine mandate or at least extreme pressure to get vaccinated. d0 least extreme pressure to get vaccinated-— least extreme pressure to get vaccinated. ~ ., , ., vaccinated. do we know exactly how enforcement — vaccinated. do we know exactly how enforcement will _ vaccinated. do we know exactly how enforcement will work? _ vaccinated. do we know exactly how enforcement will work? well, - vaccinated. do we know exactly how enforcement will work? well, with l enforcement will work? well, with this employer _ enforcement will work

health and social care tax based on national insurance. where is she? i can't see her. she said this was to be the country's favorite moment. as the labour party really going to vote against her tonight? mr. speaker, that me tell you what an ambitious young member said in 2002 in his house. what he said in his house, national insurance increases are regressive. i wonder what happened to him. mr. speaker, at the prime minister is going ahead with this unfair tax, could he at least tell us this -- will his plan clear the nhs waiting list backlog by the end of this parliament, yes or no? i think the whole country can appreciate that we at least have a plan. to fix the backlog. we at least understand that the only way to fix the long term, underlying problems in the nhs as the problem relates to judges is to fix the crisis in social care as well, which labor failed to address for decades. we are going ahead and doing it. i think as of that nonsense, he is going to vote against the measure tonight. they are to vote against plans to fix the backlog and social care. labor, mr. speaker, wait longer. >> mr. speaker, here's my question, you either

the demands on all parts of the health service make far from straightforward. let's talk to wayne who is a labourim and what the medical conditions where that led him trying to see a gp. iie medical conditions where that led him trying to see a gp.— medical conditions where that led him trying to see a gp. he was the kind of man _ him trying to see a gp. he was the kind of man who _ him trying to see a gp. he was the kind of man who never— him trying to see a gp. he was the kind of man who never complained about anything, in 2011 he had a couple of minor strokes and went to work. it was only after he was really struggling to speak that he went to see medical help. that gives you an idea of what he was like in terms of his health. he was waiting to have a gall bladder removed due to have a gall bladder removed due to persistent gallstone issues and an october of last year, woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp pain in his abdomen, contacted the doctors, and the assumed it was the gallstones. that continued for months. he was not seen until i believe december in face—to—face and he was ta

health for some time. let's return to one of our top this evening. the labourighton has been dogged by internal rows, including the resignation of the shadow employment secretary, andy mcdonald, from the labour front bench. last night, he said the party was more divided than ever under sir keir�*s leadership. two much of what he's heard at labour�*s conference has been insipid. gary smith said there needs to be a plan for morejobs. the to be a plan for more “obs. the infrastructure h to be a plan for more “obs. the infrastructure is _ to be a plan for more jobs. tie: infrastructure is getting produced after a around the world. it's bad for the environment and jobs, and what's ultimately happened as we are all paying higher energy bills for thejobs we promised all paying higher energy bills for the jobs we promised and have all paying higher energy bills for thejobs we promised and have not been delivered. we don't want vague promises from labour, we need to plan forjobs. too much of the stuff this week has been insipid. we'd like to see things get to us, becaus

health support, around self—harm, we have seen astronomical numbers around domestic violence, around eating disorders. all of these matters affecting so many young people, they all need to be addressed and their own labours but from educational psychologists, professional mentors, language therapists. if we're going to be really ambitious about this catch up, we cannotjust look at one single target, we have to look ambitiously at education provision over the next 5—10 years. my school for example, we are using our core budget to pay for our own counselling service because there is virtually nothing outside so parents quite rightly have expectations. i am using around £40,000 of my normal budget which should be for things like english and maths and the like to provide these extra services because when we look around, it is not available to us elsewhere. i want to come back to that because the whole of the mental health area is very important. natalie, is there anything your institute has found in research that amounts to best practice in this area? is there evidence on which we could draw to know what might help because the pandemic might be a new experience globally but lots of country that might countr

national insurance contributions to help pay for the health and social care sector in england comfortably passed through a vote in the commons last night. labourause despite the way the government presented it, this is not a plan to fix social care. all it is is a tax raid on hard—working families at a time when they can least afford it with the economy struggling to recover from what was one of the worst recessions of any major economy, and the money the government is raising is not actually going to fund social care. what it will do is partially plug the gigantic financial black hole in the gigantic financial black hole in the national health service that the conservative government has spent the last ten years creating. the institute for fiscal studies and the national care association have both said that this might actually result in no money going into social care at all, so all of that pain for no gain is an absolute con trick, what the government was proposing a stay. what was labour's plan? the government _ what was labour's plan? he government doesn't what was labour's plan? tie government doesn't actually what was labour's plan? “iie

labour heartland. in a way they straddle the centre left in the centre right, don't they? you see that in the spending for the they spent £36 billion on healthig tax increase is coming, he's now pledging seemingly more housing. because he is but one of his key ministers there, michael gove, more spending on infrastructure. ijust wonder if you are in the traditional conservative party member whether you recognise this as a conservative government. i you recognise this as a conservative government-— government. i stand correctly chastised _ government. i stand correctly chastised by _ government. i stand correctly chastised by you, _ government. i stand correctly chastised by you, christian. i government. i stand correctly i chastised by you, christian. that serves me right for using phrases that trip off the tongue. certainly it's pro brexit, it's populist. i think you're right. in some ways to describe it as center—right, sorted to me because it makes you think of a small state, low tax government. of a small state, low tax government. of course that is not the direction this government is heading in. of course what some inside the party wor
