"Capita took over the civil servant pension scheme 6 months ago..."
Why are parasitical private companies like Capita allowed anywhere near the public sector? We need to kick out the profiteers & end all outsourcing.
The benefits system is broken because of the ableism of its gatekeepers, as is plainly shown in this interview with a faceless tribunal member, who thinks that Fibromyalgia is a "spurious" condition

"South East Water hunts for £100m to plug its finances."
Why in God's name would anyone want to lend South East Water £100 million?
Put it this way, once we've nationalised Thames Water guess who's next on the list?

We pay for - and depend upon - our water system. Now, it’s time for us to have a say.
130,000 people have signed the Parliamentary petition calling for a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership.

Being a carer means showing up every day, doing what needs to be done, often without anyone noticing.
That’s why I’m so glad Carers Week this year is all about building carer-friendly communities, where carers are recognised and supported.
Sarah Wakefield responds to the Palestine Solidarity Campaigns letter stating:
“Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. Every politician who sincerely believes in human rights, international law, and the sanctity of human life should be able to say the same.”
I wasn't offended because someone said people with MS can work.
I was offended because they implied that because they know three people with MS who work full-time, people like me somehow need greater scrutiny.
I worked in a senior role after my diagnosis.
I paid my taxes.
I contributed to society.
My employer even offered me redundancy and told me they wouldn't have been offering it if I didn't have MS.
That's the reality many disabled people face.
MS is not a one-size-fits-all condition. Some people work full-time.
Some work part-time. Some can't work at all.
All of those experiences are valid.
The problem isn't that people with MS work.
The problem is assuming that because one person can, everyone should.
Disabled people shouldn't have to constantly prove that their disability is real enough.
Look up, not down. 🧡♿

There is an event taking place in London on 14 June that openly advertises the sale of land in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank - there is no chance the UK government would allow stolen Ukrainian land to be sold off to people in the UK - why the double standards?
The USA have blocked the Somali Referee Omar Artan from entering the USA, the Referee who is rated the best in Africa was blocked at entry, so he got the Somalian embassy to give him a Diplomatic Passport.
But the USA still refuses to let him in.
The USA need to be disqualified
The UK is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year.
He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.
TW: Suicide
The death of David Panther is the latest tragedy to be linked with universal credit. Almost no-one appears to be paying attention to these deaths and the growing evidence of harm, particularly to those with mental distress

FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE NHS DENTISTRY HAS SIMPLY CEASED TO EXIST
On Monday 15 June a debate will take place in the House of Commons on the shocking state of NHS Dentistry.
Nearly 14 million adults are now unable to access NHS dentistry in England - FOURTEEN MILLION! Just think about that.
People in agony are pulling out their own teeth - this isn’t just Victorian, IT’S MEDIEVAL.
We cannot allow this shocking and shameful situation to continue.
CONTACT YOUR MP NOW using this handy link provided by @TheBDA and ask them to attend this important debate. Tell them to demand that ministers provide a plan to save NHS dentistry and offer the resources to back it up!
THIS IS NOW MAKE OR BREAK FOR NHS DENTISTRY - if urgent action is not taken by the government NHS Dentistry risks becoming little more than an emergency service.
"Whether you're a baker, a farmer, a plumber or a hairdresser, you have far more in common with each other than with the Elon Musks and Jeff Bezoses of this world."

Once again the UK govt condemns Israel's actions and says they are prepared to take further action - then fail to do so.
This inaction is unacceptable. Ban settlement trade, sanction Netanyahu, stop all military cooperation with Israel, punish war crimes.
