Meanwhile, here in Wales, we have the equivalent of carbon paper and pencil sharpeners…. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Can anyone tell me why the BBC felt it pertinent to lead tonight’s 10pm news with the playground spat between trump & musk? Meanwhile, Israel continues its USA & UK backed genocide in Palestine…. But that’s not as important…

Profiteering. There is no excuse for exhorting large sums of £ for a trip of a few weeks from people who have had cancer. None whatsoever. Last time an insurance co. reported financial problems? Never. @premnsikka.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Does nothing to stop shareholders being paid with our money via dividends. Does nothing to force them to pay the £billions they have already siphoned off over the years to put right what should have been done: Infrastructure investment Criminal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The govt rejects legal opinions on the effects of this proposed piece of legislation. Why? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The truth about Reform Please share widely www.facebook.com/reel/1239145...

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/...
