Private equity bidders trump rival to buy doctors' surgeries, hospitals and hospices with £1.7bn Assura bid. NHS estate privatised by Tories/Blair, now bought/sold for profit. NHS pays escalating rents, less money left for frontline services. All part of creeping privatisation

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants. Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

Trump has shown his disregard for our collective security time and time again. The Prime Minister should propose a new, bilateral UK-Canada defence pact at the G7 this weekend, making us more secure.

Netanyahu is trying to replace social media images of suffering Palestinians and the destruction of their homes… with those of suffering Israelis and their destroyed homes. So he needs to: 1) bait Iran to attack and 2) cut all comms out of Gaza. Our mainstream media will swallow it whole.

Hopefully, the Spending Review is the start of Labour conducting itself like a Labour government. Next step? Deeper economic ties with our friends and neighbours in Europe. Time to be bold.
