We didn't have parties to "boost morale".
We didn't have quiz nights.
We didn't have champagne.
We watched our colleagues die.
We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands.
These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office.
Use your vote. Vote.
🚨VERY VERY URGENT
Rumours now swirling that having previously supported the crucial Simon Brown Memorial Amendment which will help rectify one of the most shocking injustices of the past half-century @Keir_Starmer is about to pull, at the very last hour, @UKLabour support. It would be a shocking act of cowardice by Labour. In recent years we have seen a shocking & tragic surge in self-inflicted deaths of IPP prisoners in custody and if Labour cruelly rob them of the hope this amendment offers I would fear the worse. I can’t believe Labour would be that cruel. Please tag your Labour MP & and ask them to confirm Labour will maintain it’s crucial support in TODAYS VOTE
“Campaigners have warned that reforms are a matter of life and death after almost 90 suicides”
Please confirm @Keir_Starmer@UKLabour that rumours you are about to U-turn on the crucial Simon Brown Memorial Amendment are false & you maintain your support

VERY URGENT. PLEASE @UKLabour@Keir_Starmer!
Make it clear NOW that rumours you will U-turn & pull your support in TODAYS VOTE for the crucial Simon Brown Memorial Amendment which will make a significant difference in unpicking one of the most shocking and monumental injustices of the past half-century - IPP sentences is false.
PLEASE confirm you maintain your support for this crucial amendment which has given hope to thousands & which is supported by the Lib Dems, Green Party, Cross-benchers and even many Conservatives.
In recent years we have seen a shocking surge in self-inflicted deaths of IPP prisoners in custody and if you cruelly rob them at the last hour of the hope which the Simon Brown Memorial Amendment offers I fear the worse.
When @ITV come to make a drama on this most tragic of miscarriages of justice, as they surely will, PLEASE be standing on the right side of history by maintaining the support you gave just two months ago.
PLEASE don’t play politics with people’s lives. Show courage & leadership & do the right thing

I was deeply honoured to be invited to be a keynote speaker at this year's @RCPhysicians annual conference.
But after last night's #RCPEGM I can no longer, in all conscience, give my speech. I feel duty bound to share in public my reasons why.
Dear 🇬🇧,
This is the anatomy of a militant takeover of your public healthcare system:
- Take the #1 healthcare system on Earth
- Defund it by £320 billion over a decade
- Force doctors and nurses to leave country
- Engineer the longest waitlist in NHS history
- Hold patients hostage to private healthcare
- Get the public sick, angry, out of work
- Call the sick public “generation sicknote”
- Mandate employers pay for private care
This is how they’ll continue to funnel billions more of your public money into the private sector, propping them up at the expense of your NHS, under the guise of “reducing the benefits bill and boosting the economy.” They could have simply funded the NHS and we wouldn’t be such a sick and out of work nation.
And so when we talk about the creation of a two-tier system, this is exactly what we mean: rapid access to a doctor for the wealthy on private healthcare, and years-long waits to see a non-doctor in the NHS.
The @Conservatives goal has always been to turn your NHS into an American privatised nightmare — just like the one I grew up in where healthcare is obtained through the employer at massive cost to both employer and employee — and it’s all happening right under your nose, without your consent.
So please wake up and stop letting them steal your healthcare from you and your family. They are not going to improve your healthcare, they’re simply going to take it away, only to sell it right back to you.
If you value the health of your family, never vote for them ever again.

A fantastic intervention before next weeks budget from @The_TUC General Secretary @nowak_paul & Julian Richer, founder of @RicherSounds to demand Govt take tougher action to catch wealthy tax dodgers & stop public losing out on up to £36bn a year in taxes https://t.co/JyGdb742Gb

Water privatisation makes NO sense
But none of the mainstream parties want to admit it
Stop dithering on sewage and bring water into PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
I'll do my best to reply to questions tonight, as this is a brief introduction to far larger issues. I've hit the thread limit. I'm sure my colleagues will join in. Thank you, and please do raise these concerns with your MP - NOW - and please share this.

The Rwanda scheme has just been ruled unlawful by the UK Supreme court!
This is a victory for the rights of men, women and children who simply want to be safe. The plan goes against who we are as a country that stands up for those less fortunate than us and for the values of compassion, fairness and humanity. The Government should be focusing on creating a functioning, fair and humane asylum system and expanding safe routes.
