👍🧡👍🧡👍🧡👍🧡 This is going down VERY well! !

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Meanwhile, Trump lectures Europe on freedom of speech.

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

He’s a shit negotiator…too embarrassing to demonstrate how weak in front of the other countries. Any eejit can try and gift somebody else’s land to a fellow despot. It takes skill & decency to negotiate a just peace & Trump has neither.

What can you do? THIS. Be there next Saturday - and show the world, America included, that Europe is united with Ukraine. 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺

Very dissapointed today - I was expecting lots of memes with exploding straws- but i guess it's difficult to keep up with all the ramblings!

I'm aghast that Labour would do this. Aghast. It's a despicable thing to have done.

I know two of my close circle that have cancelled 🇺🇸 holiday plans. When we are shopping and seeing American goods & services we can try and choose an alternative. We don’t HAVE to buy that McDonalds/ KFC/ Starbucks coffee. We can all do something to send a cumulative message.

Make Bribery Great Again!

Exactly this. Just 2% of Musk's wealth could feed the very poorest and most desperate people in the world. He could use his money to do extraordinary things - and could go down in history as a hero. Instead he has deliberately chosen to be an evil, villainous dick

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

Anna Soubry, "Brexit would be a disaster for the future of our country" Vince Cable, "There is no deal better than the one we have" Caroline Lucas, "Brexit would make our poorer communities even poorer" Throwback to the 2018 People's Vote March

We agree with @elliechowns.bsky.social 💯 Today MPs debate Proportional Representation. A proper national conversation about alternatives to our broken system is long overdue. We're calling for a National Commission for Electoral Reform to design a voting system that's fit for the 21st century.

ROLL THE TAPE: RFK Jr: "News reports have claimed that I am anti-vaccine or anti-industry. I am neither." July 6, 2023: "There's no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective."

London air seems a bit cleaner and there may be fewer vehicles. Good for people with breathing difficulties like severe asthma.

A timely reminder of what Reform would do to us. Democide

A recent YouGov survey showed more people IN EVERY CONSTITUENCY IN ENGLAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES back closer arrangements with the EU rather than more transatlantic trade with Washington. Labour needs to listen if it wants a second term. @labourlewis.bsky.social @stellacreasy.bsky.social

@elliechowns.bsky.social ?an idea for Herefordshire I volunteer to do the photos

“there was no way of delivering Brexit that would not have been economically damaging. On the other hand, there was no consensus view amongst Brexit’s advocates and voters as to what the (economic) plan of Brexit was meant to be. …”

This should go viral, it deserves to go viral 👏👏👏

Labour’s decision to muzzle regulators in the name of ‘growth’ will backfire horribly. Spot on. Neutering regulators leads to exploitation of people & the environment. Boosts corporate power that will hold govts to ransom. East India company is coming home. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Don’t let Trump and ICE win without a fight! Papers or not, everyone has certain rights they can use when an agent is trying to deport them. You CAN refuse to open the door unless there is a signed warrant from a judge #NoWarrantNoEntry #ICEOut

Also never trust anyone who thinks Social Security is the governments personal slush fund that they can borrow from. Pay back (with interest) what you stole!

Trump hits the ground running trying to keep the costs of drugs high for consumers. Literally.

The SNP have expanded the student bursary for nursing and midwifery students. Worth £10,000, this is the most generous in Britain. The SNP, good and fair governance. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So this is the Banks-Farage inauguration party…brought to you also by Steve Bannon & businessman Guo Wengui & the original bad boys of Brexit, Gunter Strategies

If we live to see the next election, let's vote for whichever party has a medical professional (and not an epidemic-minimiser too) in charge of health, an educator in charge of education, a disabled person who's faced the DWP to run the DWP etc. We desperately need people with a clue and compassion.

This is ridiculous. Rat infested prison that may never reopen pays Prince William’s Duchy £1.5m a year HMP Dartmoor, which closed in August over toxic gas fears, has 24 years left on its lease www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

If only this from the Sunday Times were new - the truth is even worse: that trusts have been advertising for “corridor nurses” for years. A horrendous illustration of how overwhelmed our hospitals are every year, all year. This isn’t “flu” - it’s flu + lack of beds + failure to address social care 🧵

🚨 Our Head of Local Systems Influencing, Tim Baverstock, has described The RCN's reports of the increasingly demanding NHS front line 'corridor care' as 'harrowing'. Particularly when patients with dementia have been distressed or unable to receive appropriate care. 1/4

"Safe and good quality care cannot co-exist with treatment in corridors." In the midst of huge winter pressures, NHS principles on care in “temporary escalation spaces” threaten to take leave from reality, say Julian Sheather and Matt Phillips www.bmj.com/content/388/...

So called ‘corridor care’ is degrading, dehumanising and dangerous. We must not normalise the unacceptable. #ResuscitateEmergencyCare @shaunlintern.bsky.social

Nursing staff are being forced to deliver care in inappropriate settings every day. Patient safety is being compromised. The true extent of the corridor care crisis has been revealed in our new report, using the testimonies of over 5,000 NHS nursing staff. Read it here: https://bit.ly/3WiS8wB

This is an emergency🚨- we cannot tolerate the normalisation of NHS ‘corridor care’. open.substack.com/pub/jujuliag...

Corridor care...the new NHS oxymoron.

New @rcn.org.uk report on corridor care brings the harrowing experiences facing some patients and staff in NHS hospitals this winter into focus. Read our blog from last winter exploring how increased frequency of corridor care affects patient safety and NHS staff morale 👇 https://buff.ly/3C7oOSV

Thread/ Today, a devastating report from the @rcn.org.uk, based on the testimony of over 5000 NHS nurses, has rightly catapulted the national shame that is NHS 'corridor care' into the headlines once more. (1/15)

Nurses and other medical staff have been sounding the alarm for many years now but our government did not care and did nothing There's no such thing as corridor care only corridor crisis
