The NHS is not functioning because many of people running it do not want it to function. They want you to pay for private healthcare which they own and make huge profits from. Things like ADHD diagnosis and other 'non-essential' services are the best example. Soon they won't exist.

Sharron Davies has been suspended from heading the homeless charity in Portsmouth for this post. But she is still on the BBC. Its time to ban her from there too. They banned Gary Lineker for nothing.

Terrorism is as defined by UK Law, an act which aims to kill or seriously injure civilians. Putting spray paint on planes is not terrorism, we are living in a truly ridiculous nation if anyone who opposes the Government in any way is a 'terrorist'.

BBC News, "The US intelligence community says they have seen no evidence that Tehran is actually trying to build a bomb" "But Donald Trump said today he doesn't believe that"

Keir Starmer wants to talk about disgraceful? Try standing with Netanyahu during a genocide. Arming Israel. Sharing intelligence. Refusing to rule out joining an illegal war. That’s the real disgrace.

🚨BREAKING: We’re deeply concerned at the use of counter terrorism powers to target protest groups. This is the latest in a succession of measures taken by the UK government to clamp down on protest in the UK.

If I knifed my neighbour because I thought at some point he might buy a gun like mine I'd rightly go to jail - but Israel gets the full support of Western politicians & media "Israel's attack on Iran: The violent new world being born is going to horrify you" www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/isra...

There is no justification whatsoever for the US or UK to provide any support, material or diplomatic, for Israel's attack on Iran. It is a war of aggression, clearly contrary to international law.

There's bare-faced lying and lying by omission at which the BBC excels every hour of every day Via People's Chancellor

Did you know that the BBC gives Israeli deaths 33 times more coverage than Palestinian deaths In other words the BBC is operating an apartheid regime and just like Israeli children are taught in school is teaching us that Palestinians lives don't matter like "vermin"

BREAKING: The BBC has explained it can't air the Gaza Medics documentary because it could give the impression the BBC is biased against genocide x

Palestine Action spray painted British jets because they are supporting Israel's Genocide. The only thing that is despicable is using the British Army to aid War Criminals.

Northumberland MP warns he will oppose welfare reforms ‘with every fibre’ of his being A Northumberland Labour MP has slammed the government’s proposed welfare reforms and said he is committed to opposing them northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

Thames Water must not be bailed out, their debts are their debts that they stole and which are sitting in their bank accounts.

HMRC failed to collect £46.8bn tax in 2023-24. 40% relates to small businesses. Total doesn't include taxes lost due to wealthy stashing wealth offshore, profit shifting by companies. HMRC was starved of resources. Skilled labour lost, real wage cuts. Govts hit low/middle earners instead.

170 unhappy Labour MPs. Labour loses far more support from its own base than any it might gain from those who think benefit recipients are scroungers - they'll just bank the win and then find another excuse to hate Labour. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

The BBC is continuing its sickening promotion of the far-right. This must end. Starmer must act to defend our democracy. Brexit extremist Robbie Gibb has warped BBC output for far too long. He must be sacked. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Yep - can we put them on trial for Brexit as well.

APOLOGIES- my post yesterday about Darren Jones MP missed an important detail. He was given a donation-in-kind, and provided with a free staff member by a management consultancy firm. All posts about this have been taken down, will post again with new detail momentarily. Huge …

Assisted dying bill result: 314 voted for. 291 voted against. Majority of 23. It passed. My thoughts? I’m fortunate enough to have not had to watch a loved one slowly die in pain and now I may not have to. My thoughts are with those that have. Next, the Lords. It will likely become law.

Next time you read a media piece bashing NHS staff, ask yourself “does this piece make it sound like the staff are possessions, owned by the state?” and then please ask if you think the media should be talking about humans in this way.

True

In worrying times, at least there’s this. They have returned.

UK Minister says govt stepping up preparations for temporary nationalisation of Thames Water. Must not be temporary, no return to private sector. Water companies have stolen plenty, dumped sewage, unplugged leaks. No compensation, as was the case with Railtrack and Northern Rock.

If you take away the “Don’t Knows”, then, of those who have reached a view: - by 64.4% to 35.6%, the British public think it was wrong to leave the EU - by 62.2% to 37.8%, they want to rejoin the EU And this even despite no leading politician (yet) making the case to rejoin…

Students in England graduate with average £53,000 debt. Total debt £266bn, up to 7.3% interest. Most European nations don't charge university tuition fees, England does. What was public debt, is now personal debt. People penalised for education, can't start family, business. Abolish uni fees.

Angela Rayner says that Labour MPs who rebel against the Welfare Bill will lose the whip There are 403 Labour MPs Any Labour MP who votes for withdrawing PIP support from the disabled as outlined in this welfare bill is an absolute disgrace

High speed rail built in China in 12 years. HS2 started in 2009 it won’t be finished till 2042 and will be 8x more expensive than any other Railway in the world at more than £500,000,000 per mile. It‘s one huge scam.
