GPs being made redundant. No jobs for newly trained GPs. All while there is a massive shortage of GPs. Surgeries unable to hire more GPs- funding only for replacing the, with PAs and pharmacists. It is a huge scandal and NOBODY in the media will talk about it. #socialistsunday

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Poverty kills. Cancer death rates are 60% higher for people living in deprived UK areas compared with those in more affluent areas. 28,400 extra deaths due to deprivation, people seek comfort in smoking. Poor healthcare, late diagnosis, 'must work pressure' punishes the poor.

Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.

Bear in mind: the stuff here is what we said at the time was happening, and mostly the exact people we said were planting stories. And we were called conspiracy theorists for this by the same reporters who were being fed this drivel by these very people www.middleeasteye.net/discover/get...

Starmer vows to quickly close legal 'loophole' that allowed a brown family from Gaza to gain refuge from Israel's genocide in a scheme intended only to help white families from Ukraine. In other news, the UK is still sending arms to Israel to murder Palestinians in Gaza.

i just realised that if anyone tried to do this crudely there would be huge uproar like who remembers when the BBC tried to get rid of the recipes bit of their website. it was like oh you can destroy the planet and our wages and our futures and make us homeless but don't you dare touch our recipes

Becoming homeless due to Russian air strikes - bad & sad, you may come and stay. Becoming homeless due to Israeli air strikes - you brought it on yourself, clear off. We are witnessing a grotesque spectacle at the moment www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This stuff makes me absolutely viscerally angry. Everyone jeered and laughed and said we were fucking idiots, and these guys were the sensible grownups who would fix everything. And now it turns out that they're failing in the exact way that we said they would fail. We were right, fuck you.

The PolProfs are way too late here: their heroes long since established, reasserted and underlined that this is hatefully extreme communism and possibly treason, and they will now drive the whole country into the sea again rather than concede an inch on that or anything else

Reminder that the UK did vote for the Lesser Of Two Evils, we were in the situation where the "fuck you all, we only need 14 marginal votes to take the whole thing" strategy worked. The Lesser Evil party won big. And it's now desperately trying to appeal to the Greater Evil anyway.

All governments around the world must condemn President Trump’s plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza. This unforgivable breach of international law would be another dark chapter of the Nakba. Hands off Gaza. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

It took two weeks to go from a Nazi salute (‘a gesture of emotion from a complicated enigma of a man’) to ethnic cleansing (‘a provocative and intriguing vision of mass displacement’).
