Hi George,

Excellent analysis and reminder of the disastrous effects of Brexit.

I hope Wes Streeting's restructuring of the NHS will include mandatory links to welfare benefit

claimants, many of whom seem content to avoid work at all cost.

For all it's faults, New Deal under the Blair government did help to move very many 'shirkers' into work.

Please pose this question. Preferably directly to Mr Trump -

Would Mr Trump please confirm that he will still insist on an abortion ban if approached by a woman who had by a stranger rapist and her name was IVANKA?

Dear new statesman staff - kindly deal with me anonymously. I am a nearly 79 years old widower living on my own and with the usual frailties of old age. I could not stand any adverse reactions.
