In 2019, I warned that the NHS was being sold off to private U.S companies.
The media's response? I was peddling Russian propaganda.
One of those companies is Palantir, a company that has enabled genocide in Gaza. We were right then — and we are right now: Kick Palantir out.
In one of the most pathetic and humiliating moments in history, Trump just received the new inaugural FIFA Peace Prize.
They literally invented a “peace prize” to keep him happy after he didn’t receive the actual Nobel Peace Prize. Beyond parody
Of course the real threat isn't Asylum Seekers in Dinghies.
It is the people who want to leave the ECHR and take away all your Rights.
Right to trial, right to healthcare, right to sick pay, right to holiday pay, right not be discriminated against.
They can make so much profit
Are you looking for a thread on the trade deal between the UK and India and the lies some people are telling about it, from a cat? If so, you're weird but in the right place...
Yesterday the UK and India announced a new free trade agreement, which it s estimated will add £5bn a year to the UK economy

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform.
This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.
Because I love America & I care about the health of Americans.
Do any of these surprise you?
Let me know below.

And on and on...
there is something very, very, very wrong in the system... 😡
So … let me get this straight:
* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year
The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m
* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary
Meanwhile there are...
* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!
All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...
THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.
Something needs to change.
Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?
I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think there’s something deeper that Canadians are really focusing on right now—watching our nearest neighbor slip into totalitarianism.
When we see people being pulled off the streets, when we see students at universities being grabbed, detained, and kidnapped, and when we see Kristi Noem filming this disgusting video, we’re looking at a nation we no longer recognize. We don’t want to be like that nation.
So now, as the prime minister said, we have to look elsewhere for the kinds of alliances, agreements, and understandings we used to have with our closest neighbor.
If our nearest neighbor doesn’t respect the rule of law for its own citizens, how is it going to respect international law? And it certainly doesn’t respect us as Canada. So we have no choice—we’re going to make decisions that benefit our region and our people first.
Telling Denmark it’s not doing enough for Greenland—when both have universal healthcare and your country can’t even guarantee insulin or an ambulance without bankruptcy—is peak American delusion.
You don’t get to lecture nations that take care of their people when yours lets them die in medical debt.
Thames Water was privatised in 1989 with no debt.
Since then it’s racked up £14.7 billion in debt at the same time as paying out £10.4 billion to its shareholders.
If that's not a scam, I don't know what is!

@RepMTG is what happens to you when consume only crap. A talentless, ignorant, propaganda-pushing attack dog with one hateful setting. The US has fallen.
Asked Representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene about the Signal group chat fiasco. Her response: "We don't give a crap about your opinion or your reporting. Why don't you go back to your country where you have a major migrant problem."
