A 54-page report – which features contributions from Cancer Research UK and academics at the University of Southampton – claims that NHS doctors are unable to offer the same provisions to cancer patients as their European colleagues www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/bre...

This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/04/23/t...

Patriotic Millionaires UK ‘Tax our Wealth’ campaign visits Bristol. 👏👏👏 @patmillsuk.bsky.social

My friends husband is in the Air force his just been called up for emergency six months in Iraq😱

“Tax our wealth” – that’s the message from millionaires across the UK whose campaign is hitting the road ahead of the government’s spring statement yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/mor...

How dare he talk about young Ukrainians dying when he cut off intelligence and allowed more to be killed-what a disgrace he is

How the hell is he able to get away with talking about a former president like that

Cases of measles in Seminole, Texas more-than-doubled this week and the outbreak's epicentre is in a county with one of the highest percentages of MMR vaccine refusal - an astonishing 18%. And Senate just approved RFK Jr. as Health Secretary. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The community note 🤌😘

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Gangsters. The US government is no ally of Europe. We should fight Russia off ourselves and give the US nothing.

George Monbiot on Ukraine/Putin: “It’s as if he’d come to the UK, he’d occupied Kent, Surrey, Sussex & then somebody else like Donald Trump comes along & says fine guys just live with that. These people who go on about sovereignty will sell anyone down the river” 👏

Shorter JD Vance in Munich: I'm far more concerned about a few instances of perhaps misguided applications of laws in free countries than about the genocidal assault by Putin (not mentioned by Vance) against a free and democratic neighbor, Ukraine, which has produced hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Again...why is noone asking protesting farmers "what happens if an ambulance Wants to get through"

A tiny wealth tax on the super-rich would raise billions and boost the economy. Billions we could spend investing in our public services and reducing inequality. It really is that simple.

In the three weeks Elon Musk has been in charge of unilaterally slashing government spending, the U.S. government has paid one of his companies, SpaceX, more than $43 million.

Just watching the farmers protest on TV not once was anyone asked 'what if an ambulance needs to get through?' didn't see anyone hauled off by the Police either 🤷

Finally cancelling my Twitter/X cannot support that man or continue to be bombarded with right wing American posts.

The nightmare begins, with an ignorant, unelected billionaire from South Africa gunning to shut down the US government—based on lies and falsehoods. A @politico.com fact check, and it’s a doozy. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

We are mere hours away from the four year anniversary of Donald Trump’s “will be wild!” tweet, which summoned a mob to D.C. on Jan. 6. www.publishersweekly.com/9781541701809

i am convinced that these people are death worshippers who want to spread as much disease and sickness as possible (i also think this is all tied up in eugenic beliefs about the “survival of the fittest” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

“The great state of Canada”

“Women pushed into private sector because NHS inadequately resourced to provide timely care and treatment” There, fixed this title for you, the BBC. 🚨 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Bet Vardy is hammering that vote line right now #IACGMOOH #IMACELEB

From the appalling comments this film is getting on X it’s clear to me if we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call out this insane drumbeat from the right to leave

In light of the alarming news about Elon Musk and Nigel Farage, a reminder of the utterly terrible ideas that the Reform Party has for the NHS 👇🚨 open.substack.com/pub/jujuliag...

House Republicans who have been on Fox this morning are not denying that they are interested in cutting Medicaid and food stamps to pay for more tax cuts.
