The NHS at its very, world leading best. @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social Are you going to allow the continuation of massive underfunding I every single aspect of the NHS? Or Will you deliver what the electorate want…. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is what Climate Change looks like, in case you thought it was “fake news”…

the govt can, & must, take the quick and correct decisions to raise, set & enforce higher standards. I feel that we are getting closer to a potential awakening of British discontent and action if they don’t… @greenparty.org.uk @libdems.org.uk @libdemdaisy.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social

The UK govt could do so much more, & quickly, to redress the balance of health & life expectancy through more effective & efficient taxation. Start with the mega rich. As @greenparty.org.uk says, those with the most must contribute more. @greenjennyjones.bsky.social @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social

Another step in the right direction. However, the govt must be bolder & quicker: enforce better quality new housing with full insulation, solar and battery, heat pump. Plus EV charging point. Retrofit ALL public buildings. Plenty of “growth” opportunities! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ofwat “confirmed it would be paid paid by the company and its investors, not by customers.” Why couldn’t Ofwat enforce previous fines in this way? What have you to say @emmahardymp.bsky.social ? Thames Water fined £122.7m in biggest ever penalty www.bbc.com/news/article...

£536m NHS cataract contracts given to private operators. 5 companies dominate, 3 private equity (PE) owned. £169m profit. Average profit margin 32%; range from 17% to 50%. £68m interest paid on PE debt NHS becoming a shell doling out contracts. Profiteering = money buys less. Expand NHS capacity

The EU on target to achieve 2030 climate targets. The UK, meanwhile….. www.ft.com/content/4abd...

When the govt says it has nationalised SW Railway…. Look at the small print….. Still paying private business for leasing the rolling stock!

This is good example of how farmers and environmentalists can work together for the benefit of nature. It also highlights the need to get landowners involved (@guyshrubsole.bsky.social) & pay sheep farmers to make it work. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Just putting this here…

Hi USA! How’s the self-destruction going?

Farage says Starmer's EU deal is a betrayal of British jobs and undermines our fishing sector Farage attended 1 out of 42 fishery committee meetings in the EU parliament,never speaking up for UK fisheries ..potentially why the common fisheries policy was not to our benefit. youtu.be/21WmR8p3rtk?...

"It's been a fantastic victory to see wild camping rights on Dartmoor confirmed... but we want to see those rights extended" ICYMI here's my interview with Channel 4 News yesterday evening from outside Alexander Darwall's estate at Cornwood, Dartmoor: www.channel4.com/news/supreme...

Is it just me, or are these twins?

Great news! Wouldn’t it be lovely to see lots of wild campers all over Darwall’s land over the bank holiday weekend… www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
