We strongly advise the public not to do this, it’s unsafe. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.

It was overseas care workers who tended to my Dad as he lay dying with such gentleness, expertise and understanding that it made our grief easier to cope with. They were angels and we'd had to fight for 4 years to get them because of staff shortages. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Privatised social care is a back door into privatising health care Much that used to be considered health care has already been redesignated as social care (that most people can be charged for). Meanwhile, corporate care home businesses like Care UK get paid to take over NHS 111 etc.

So Plibersek goes from being the one put out to explain why they're approving new coal mines to be the one put out to explain why they're not raising Jobseeker.

While the government inevitably tries to out Reform the Reform party, how about focussing on the fact that more and more kids are becoming homeless on your watch? www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

A joint Sky News and Sunday Times investigation found the trust may have downplayed previous concerns, with a report identifying issues with specialist surgeon Kuldeep Stohr back in 2016.

Concerns were first raised about Kuldeep Stohr in 2015 by colleagues. An external review found concerns and made some recommendations. But @CUH_NHS has ordered an inquiry into what was known and when. Colleagues again spoke up in October last year.

This is not trans-related healthcare so will not receive any emergency legislation despite many of these people being children.

Does anyone remember when Starmer said he was going to rebuild the NHS? This is disgraceful🚨 “Hundreds of doctors and nurses' jobs could be scrapped and maternity and A&E services scaled back to meet the government's “eye watering” NHS savings.” www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Imagine if Keir Starmer just decided to tax extremely wealthy people properly instead. I wonder how many lives would be saved? www.bbc.com/news/article...

#BREAKING 🚨 Statement from ex-PM Paul Keating after Ed Husic was dumped from Albanese’s frontbench: “As the cabinet's sole Muslim member, Husic's expulsion proffers contempt for the measured and centrist support provided by the broader Muslim community to the Labor Party at the general election”

The ALP dumping Ed Husic is just a confirmation of how much change is still needed. Absolutely gross decision given what he has had to do and done for the party over the past 2 years.

Dumping a Jewish minister and cancelling it out by dumping the Muslim minister is not really a great start to this term.

Paul Keating has commented on Ed Husic’s exclusion from the new Albanese ministry, making the point that it’s showing contempt for the Muslim community who supported Labor
