“Wes Streeting says he wants to take the NHS ‘back to basics’,” says @shawncharlwood.bsky.social “Ending scenes that belong outside bakeries in the Soviet bloc would be a good start.” “Making promises won’t restore access to millions.” “Only action will.” 👇 www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Richard Tice and Nigel Farage caught NODDING at #PMQs when Keir Starmer says Reform UK would replace the principle of the NHS being free at the point of use, for everyone, with an insurance-based model. Selling off our country's greatest achievement.

“When Labour negotiates our country loses” says Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs Imagine the shock when she finds out the last Tory Government negotiated the first deal in history which involved walling the country off from a trading block made up of its nearest neighbours youtu.be/Kqkvnk35Bls?...

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Like a pathetic exiled kinglet, turfed off his throne and lingering at the fringes of a foreign warlord’s court to provide a fig leaf for his aggression in return for victuals, wine and a warm cloak.

UK govt must improve the economic condition of the bottom 50%, necessary for building economy and a just society. 1% has more than 70% of the population combined. The bottom 50% has 5% of wealth, bottom 20% has only 0.5%. No austerity. Must redistribute. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/labo...

Half of the 40 new England hospitals promised by Boris Johnson won't be built for yrs. Many weren't "new", not properly costed, and over the budgets. But Labour govt can build more, refusal means less NHS capacity. All part of Streeting plan for privatisation. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I mean it’s sort of amazing that the incoming US President has basically said he’s going to declare war on Denmark, annex Canada and rename bits of the globe to his liking and broadcast news is just rolling with it like he’s delivered a sombre and thoughtful policy announcement. Absolute insanity.

England govt & regulators broke the law by being too lenient on sewage dumping water companies, says environment watchdog. They protect companies and capital, not people. Water companies have 1,100 criminal convictions, still allowed to control industry. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
