[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth.

That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%.

One man — Elon Musk — owns more than the bottom half COMBINED.

This is what I mean when I talk about oligarchy.

[Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole]

Huge win! Government announces plans to open up the Land Registry.

If delivered, will finally reveal more about who owns land in England and Wales.

Read my blog post for more details & how you can write to the Minister to make sure this now happens:

You make a very strong argument……

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The mainstream media may not discuss it, but here's the fact:

Three people —Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg — now own more wealth than the bottom half of American society.

A handful of corporations control what is produced & the prices we pay.

Capitalism is broken.

I love this from Michael Marmot:

“I’m not an optimist, I’m *hopeful*.

If you’re an optimist you predict it will turn out well: so you fold your arms, & wait.

If you’re hopeful, you understand it *can* turn out well: so you have to roll up your sleeves, & act.”

Our study of homicide by patients with schizophrenia. Two factors stand out: alcohol/drug misuse & disengagement. 94% of cases had one or both.

Conclusions:
These 2 factors are key to prevention.
Without them, these tragedies are rare.

[Richard G Wilkinson @ProfRGWilkinson]

See our Guardian article about the The Equality Trust's publication of the updated data 15 years after The Spirit Level came out. The evidence of the damage inequality does is as clear as ever.

@WaterAidUK @nationaltrust @CastlefieldViad @studioweave @The_RHS @ProjGivingBack Fantastic news. Can’t wait to see it there

[National Trust @nationaltrust]

Exciting news! 👇

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

This is shaky ground.
When Labour left office in 2010 NHS waiting list stood at 2.5M
Now stands at 7.5M

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

It is utterly shameful of Rishi Sunak to blame NHS staff for his failures on NHS waiting lists.

It won’t wash with the public.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

The fact is that we spend much less on healthcare

Norway, with an NHS style healthcare, spends 50% more and is now the best healthcare system in the world

Time for a govt that believes in people before profit!

This is a v good piece by @JulianBaggini detailing the many issues with @timspector’s @Join_ZOE business. Includes the extremely dubious quality of both the claims and science, and the data scraping. Plus it appeals to the worried well. That’s its market.

[Sir Michael Marmot @MichaelMarmot]

In what moral universe can this be the right thing to do: the lower the life expectancy of a local area in 2010-12, the greater the cuts to government funding in the subsequent years. Was this a deliberate policy to increase health inequalities?

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

Highest ever NHS satisfaction levels?
2010, Labour government.

Lowest ever NHS satisfaction levels?
2024, Tory government.

After 14 years the Tories have failed our most valued institutions.

The country is crying out for change.
