Child Nigel Farage is 'bored' of Rupert Lowe. Lets keep boring him.

Dear Wes Streeting If you're not entirely closed to expert opinion which doesn't come from the health care privatisers who pay you please read .... Via MIND

The Rafah crossing, where sick and wounded Gazans congregated to be evacuated, was bombed relentlessly. The intention to kill the already wounded is clear. The criminality is palpable. The complicity of the US-European rulers is mindnumbing.

Utterly indefensible. Labour are choosing to cut vital support from vulnerable people. They are also choosing to protect the wealth of the super rich. If this makes you angry, do something about it. Join @greenparty.org.uk and challenge this Government.

whoever is doing this campaign in London well bloody done 👍

£14.9bn was spent on unusable or fraudulent PPE deals. Nearly £10bn of this was profit. Not a penny has been recovered.

Trumpism in the UK. NHS England to cut workforce by half as Streeting restructures. Populist mass sackings rarely achieve claimed objectives, but create turmoil. How long before we hear that the govt is unable to deal with pandemic/emergency and pays billions to consultants?

"For those who feel sorry for the Ukrainian president, Zelensky is one of Israel's biggest supporters, calling Palestinian resistance "terrorism" while claiming Ukraine has the right to defend itself ... the same situation as Palestine, yet he denies Palestinians that same right." via OCISA

No thanks, Nigel.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

High Court hearing today on Thames Water plan to borrow another £3bn. Already has £17bn debt, mostly to fund dividends, wants 53% price hike. Nearly a third of customer bill covers interest payments. More debt= higher bills. Let it go bankrupt. Nationalise at nominal price.

"The world is bracing for #Trump 2.0. Starmer is desperate for a US trade deal, but at what cost? Our #NHS in return for chlorinated chicken? No thanks. We demand a publicly owned NHS free at the point of need and free from private greed" #WeAreTheMajority Via Tony Pierre & Majority Movement

Trust in the police and the government is extremely fragile. This mess only works to further erode that trust. The Home Secretary needs to apologise - and it's time for the Mayor to speak up too. I spoke to @joecoughlan.bsky.social 👇🏼 www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-...

Rachel Reeves to soften changes to non-dom tax regime after hearing ‘concerns’. Another election pledge diluted. Any chance of softening on the two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut, freeze on personal allowance? Thought not ... the rich rule. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🚨Palestine Coalition statement on the events of Saturday 18 January at Whitehall and Trafalgar Square. Read on our website: cnduk.org/statement-on...

30 years ago Spitting Image dared to broadcast the truth about Israel. Now no one dares.

This will be brilliant from a truly remarkable journalist and activist. Get involved, Bluesky chums. 👇👇👇

This is what Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves & Wes Streeting all 3 funded by private health care lobbyists are doing to our NHS Get angry! ... and get campaigning with @we-own-it.bsky.social @keepournhspublic.bsky.social @everydoctor.org.uk @nhsworkerssayno.bsky.social ·

The rich bribe politicians, disguised as donations, to get their way, limit public choices. 50 families hold more wealth than half of the UK population. Top fifth have 63% of wealth. Bottom 50%, 5%. Make giving/receiving political donations a criminal offence. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/how-...

For the avoidance of doubt, Starmer DID announce more NHS privatisation today The Labour prime minister has announced a 20% expansion of private provision of NHS services. Ideological neoliberalism goes on. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Despite what politicians say, in my experience NHS patients aren’t bothered about ‘choosing their healthcare provider’. They just want their local NHS hospital to function properly. But guess who loves it? Private companies seeking to infiltrate the NHS🚨 …

UK's regressive tax system. Poorest 10% of households paid 48% of income in tax; richest 10% paid 39%. Poorest 10% paying 12% of income in VAT; richest 10% pay 3%. Council tax: Poorest 10% paying 7%; richest 10% pay 1.2%. No govt plans to end inequity. equalitytrust.org.uk/news/press-r...

Post Office spent £132m defending itself at inquiry. It is a win-win for execs. Boosted their pay by extracting millions from innocent postmasters. Don't bear the cost of inquiry. No clawback of pay. Retired on fat pension. Likely to escape prosecution. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Nadhim Zahawi’s lawyer has just been found guilty of misconduct by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal for his attempt to silence me in an email which he said I couldn’t publish or refer to.p

Customers bailing out water companies in England & Wales. Average 20% water bill rise from April- £86. Water & Sewage bill to rise 36% from April for 5 yrs- £157. Customers abused by dividend payments, fleeced again to clear debt. Share/Bond holders win. www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2024/12...

"Why should Brits have to cut back on food and other essentials, as many fear these hikes will require, to pay a privatisation tax to wealthy overseas shareholders?" Water privatisation has failed, and we are the ones paying for it PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/...

Thames Water fined £18.2m for 'unjustified' £131.3m dividend to shareholders. At the same time OFWAT allows Thames to hike customer bills by 35%. Capital raised from customers who will own nothing, shareholders will get returns. Privatisation is a scam. www.independent.co.uk/business/tha...

Thames Water is laughing its head off at Labour - as OUR bills set to rise by over a third Thames Water was literally fined over £18m by the regulator just hours before that same regulator said the notorious water company could increase our water bills.  Get it? www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2024...

UK PM Starmer says he can't think of anything he should have done differently. Hmm ... Two-child benefit cap Winter fuel payment cut Sticking to Tory tax hikes PFI 2.0 Banking deregulation Energy profiteering Public ownership of water Compensating 1950s women Funding foreign wars

RP if you agree with this. ❤️🇳🇴

I think we should cancel the MP's ridiculous final salary Pensions, a ripoff that we can't afford. We will give them the pittance they put in back, and tell them just before we do it, so we told them in advance. Fine for the WASPI women, fine for them I say.

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

"Death feels imminent for 96% of children in Gaza, study finds." And yet the civilised West is doing precisely nothing to bring about a ceasefire as a prelude to saving these hundreds of thousands of children who now live on death row. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

If you can't choose not to buy it, Power, Water, Healthcare, Housing. It shouldn't be legal to sell it for profit.

I know you’re fed up of petitions- I get fed up of them too! We’re also meeting with MPs (4 meetings in past 2 months), our amazing volunteer team have made 1000s of phone calls to MP offices. We’re doing everything we can!🚨💙 This petition matters, please sign 🤞🚨 actionnetwork.org/petitions/cr...

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

Caroline Lucas of the Green Party reckons that Water needs to be Renationalised. RT if you know it has to be.
