Fujitsu swore it wouldn’t bid for public contracts until the Horizon scandal inquiry wrapped up. And yet a new £300k MoD deal just landed in its lap. Their “no-bid” pledge is looking more like a PR stunt riddled with loopholes. Full story in the new Private Eye, out now.

In journalism it's important to reflect both sides,listen, understand nuance,be aware of your bias It’s also important to call out facts that aren’t true Trump suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia That is not true.Facts matter.If you want to end a war,you need to face up to how it started

Senator Dick Durban, "Donald Trump goes off on these wild tangents and says things which are clearly false" "Thousands have died defending their country" "And for President Trump to argue that they were somehow the aggressor in this action is disgraceful"

“If they truly want to rebuild the NHS in the way they say, they need radical reinvestment in our public service. They need to stop funnelling money into the private sector that could be spent rebuilding public capacity.” I told The Big Issue this ⬆️ www.bigissue.com/life/health/...

Trump calls Zelensky “a dictator without elections” having lauded Putin, a man who hasn’t had a free or fair election in years and who has prevented elections in Ukraine because he invaded.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Farage doesn’t believe in the NHS any more than the Tories do. Right now we can see what the NHS is capable of under Labour, 2 million extra appointments just months after taking charge. You can't trust Reform with your health.

Why is no one talking about the fact that NHS adult hospital bed occupancy in England is sitting at the unsafe level of 96%?🚨 +that ~14087 beds last week were occupied by someone ready to go home, but who can’t because of the social care crisis? The situation is the worst it’s been all winter🚨

The most frustrating thing about continuing failure to skewer Farage is that his grasp of detail is non-existent. It’s why he gets petulant when exposed to even mildly decent questions. Interviewers just need to zone in on one element of the bullshit & interrogate it until his ignorance is exposed.

Farage insisting that he has an inside track to Trump while also not getting invited to the swearing in is bang on brand. As, sadly, is the fact that his dishonesty & humiliation will be ignored by much of the media.

Left: The UK has fewer doctors and nurses than peer countries Right: Currently England has 3,500 PAs who are replacing doctors and nurses Will Labour reverse the roll out of PAs? Or will they keep PAs and make it worse?

“new data has shown that there were a record 518,000 waits of 12 hours or longer in A&E last year.” Absolutely terrible. Research shows that for every 72 patients waiting 8-12 hours before admission, there will be one additional death 🚨🚨🚨 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Sometimes I feel hopeless about what is happening to the NHS and what people are doing about it. I think we either need to go all in, find the millions of people who care and get a lot louder, or we give up. I want to go all in, but I can’t go all in alone. Share if you think we need to fight.

Looking at the way Starmer’s new NHS plans are being reported, you would think that there was a secret magical army of private healthcare staff on standby to save the NHS. In reality approx 90% of consultants working in the private sector also work in the NHS. Private companies poach NHS staff🚨

Just catching up on articles about the NHS. Both The Telegraph and the Daily Mail are very positive about Keir Starmer’s new plans for the NHS. What does that tell you? 🚨

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

Who is going to do all of the work for these private companies bringing down NHS waiting lists? Staff who have been poached from the NHS of course. The private health sector in the UK trains almost no staff, takes on NHS work and does so to create a profit for shareholders. 🚨🚨🚨
