The main problem with Brutalism is not the architecture but that the buildings have been left to rot with little in the way of maintenance. Concrete looks especially bad when it's dirty. A good power wash and a lick of paint and our town centres would instantly look 200% better.

🚨 Private hospitals are threatening to pull out of the NHS deal unless they can squeeze even MORE profit from public funds. This is exactly why we need to invest in NHS capacity, not hand billions to companies that put profits before patients. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Zelenskyy is greeted with a warm hug by Starmer and crowds of supporters in the street, he is then given full assurance that he is supported for as long as it takes. That is precisely what we all needed to see after the despicable and ugly scenes yesterday.

Capitalism may not be deliberately malicious, but nobody can deny that we'd be far better off if as much effort was put into things like ending poverty or protecting the environment as trying to get people to spend their money on stuff

A reminder to everyone, the French spend 30% more than us on their NHS per person, and the Germans 50% more. The NHS is underfunded.

The richest 3,000 people have $15tn that is $5,000,000,000 each. If you made them all live with just $1bn there would be $12tn to spend. And they wouldn't even notice.

We need to reimpose price controls on staple foods. There are too many people choosing to go without food so their kids can eat. Ensuring basics ranges are always available and have very low prices will stop people from starving.

The media are crying out for a serving politician to decry Trump, so here goes: he’s a lying, corrupt, incompetent criminal who is a useful idiot to Putin. Together they are literally destroying the fabric of western democracy and European security. Is any MP prepared to agree?

Over the last 30 years, the NHS has paid private companies £82bn to build hospitals and health facilities. We only got £13bn worth of buildings. So we GAVE private companies £69bn for doing nothing. Read that again.

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Health Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way. Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

Anyone spouting Britain is the "best country on earth" is deluded. We are an island museum exhibiting ill-gotten-gains of a dark imperial past. With decaying Victorian infrastructure that we can't afford to replace because ignorant & bigoted pensioners keep voting to make us poor

A bit of good news: NHS England hospital waiting list falls for 4th month in row. The lowest figures since April 2023. Considering the “quademic” and winter months, this is an achievement for both the NHS and Labour government. So it’ll obviously be all over the news, right?

What this piece lets out of the bag is, whatever is driving the far/right's hatred of trans people it is absolutely, positively not a desire to protect women from sexual violence. They are happy to celebrate a perpetrator of sexual violence, so long as he shares their hatred of trans people.
