The private sector have spare capacity BECAUSE they are getting NHS contracts. They are taking resource AWAY form the NHS at an ever increasing and alarming rate. There is a word for this... Want a cure? Remove the cause. End privitisation and invest in the NHS.

The government has told elderly & disabled people to wait until 2028 to hear its plan for social care. What about those who are suffering here and now? We don’t need a commission to know what to do: end austerity, reverse privatisation and build a National Care Service for all.

Forget the crazy far-right for a sec. Let's see what a real, optimistic, caring vision looks like. Green party deputy leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social sets out the case for universal basic income. A compassionate and compelling solution to a broken Britain. www.bigissue.com/opinion/univ...

If Britain gets complacent, and allows the elite to continue to rule us through neoliberalism, our next government will be a Badinoch/Farage one. Just look at the US. Let's stop being complacent, and let's demand better.

This headline doesn't quite get to the nub of the story - over 100 countries broadly agreed we need to reduce single-use plastics. It was a few petrostates and international corporations that torpedoed the talks www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/ar...

Option one: Pay private companies to cut NHS waiting lists, pulling resources away from the NHS. Option two: Pay the NHS to cut waiting lists. Why are politicians obsessed with option one? #SOSNHS www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Snow forecast for tomorrow, the winter fuel allowance for many, gone, this will cause deaths. Meanwhile MP's keep their entitlement to their fuel expenses. A gravy train filled with truffles for them, whilst some pensioners face a stark choice, either eat or heat. #restorethewinterfuelallowance

Why do 70,000 'farmers' think they should own 90% of the UK forever and never pay tax. While the other 68,930,000 have the other 10% to share and must pay tax. The ultimate elitist BS.
