      The NHS crisis appears to be causing problems for Rishi Sunak, as a new poll conducted for the Daily Express has shown the public supports Sir Keir Starmer‘s plan for tackling the problem. Writing in the Telegraph last week, the Labour leader said he wants to be “ruthless with the bureaucratic nonsense you encounter every day in the health service”. He said he will be pushing for patients to self-refer to secondary care without needing a referral from a GP.

Where once the cost of doing business drove investment decisions, firms must now consider geopolitical and national security factors that increasingly drive governments’ policymaking. Tinglong Dai, an…
