I was told it was an 18 week wait for my 'urgent' operation, reveals radio star IAIN DALE. That's why I had to make a decision I know some may judge...

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 25, 2024
When radio presenter Iain Dale was rushed into the emergency department at Tunbridge Wells Hospital in July, he was told he'd need to undergo an invasive surgery as soon as possible. The 62-year-old, who helms the Evening Show on LBC Radio, had been suffering severe pain down the right-hand side of his abdomen for several days and had repeatedly been sick. Within minutes of being seen, a doctor diagnosed a perforated gallbladder, and told him that the pear-shaped organ would need to come out the moment an operating room became available. The condition usually occurs when the opening to the gallbladder becomes blocked, leading to inflammation and swelling. Left untreated, it can lead to life-threatening infections. He was told that due to the record length of the NHS waiting list for surgical procedures, he would not be able to get his gallbladder out once the necessary six weeks had passed. Instead, Iain would have to wait 18 weeks before his severely damaged gallbladder could be removed - meaning the procedure would not happen until December.

Suella Braverman slams 'liberal' Tories who opposed taking LGBTQ+ Progress Pride flag down from Government buildings as leadership infighting gathers pace

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 9, 2024
Suella Braverman has been widely condemned after she branded the LGBTQ+ Progress Pride flag as 'horrible' and 'monstrous'. The former home secretary hit out at 'far, far too many Tory politicians' who wanted the flag flown in Whitehall to show 'how liberal and progressive we are'. Mrs Braverman, who is expected to run for the Conservative leadership, moaned she was too enfeebled as a minister to get the flag removed from her own department. She blamed 'other Tory politicians' for her failure, while also delivering a wider attack on 'liberal Conservatives' who 'trashed' the party. Mrs Braverman's blistering speech in Washington DC stirred up a backlash within Conservative ranks, with some Tories vowing to thwart her leadership ambitions. They labelled her address to the National Conservatism conference as 'disgusting' and 'intentionally inflammatory' and pledged to stop her becoming party leader.
