People aged 50-65 won't get a covid booster vaccination on the NHS and will have to buy them privately. And Rishi Sunak is a shareholder in a vaccine manufacturer. Gosh, just fancy that.
I remember that day. he announced we’d be bringing health spending up to the European average. Which we then did. Delivering record low waiting times and record high satisfaction ratings. Which started to go in the wrong direction when the Tories came in. Never let them back

A thread of some of the strangest refereeing decisions against The Arsenal 🧵
The French are going on General Strike March 7th because retirement is going to 64.
Their Energy bills are 40% of ours
They retire 6 years earlier
Their pension is 3x higher
Their wages are 25% higher
Yet still they will strike. Why are they better off?
Because they strike
Mick Lynch’s salary is decided by his members.
When he was elected he suggested to his members that he should take a pay cut.
They agreed.
He doesn’t get any ‘bonuses’.
He donates his salary on strike days to the dispute hardship fund.
Let’s hope this sinks in.
There is an irony in a govt arguing ‘patient care’ as a reason not to strike while spending the last decade not giving a flying fcuk about patients or the public. Their record is clear.
Your reminder…
Sunak left 3m people to face insane stress & suffering when he locked them out of furlough support
Their incomes stopped
They spiralled into debt
They begged him for help
He ignored them
1.5k of them ended up with depression
25 of them took their lives.
Boris Johnson is back off his holiday. A holiday he's been taking while Parliament has been sitting.
So he's been getting paid his MP's salary for representing his constituents while lounging on a beach?
And this man has the audacity to pretend he's on your side...
In the Lords I have just formally called for a public inquiry into Tory Govt's role in mass deaths.
334,000 killed by 2012-2019 austerity;
208,000 - Covid;
117, 000 -Could not get hospital treatment;
93,000 - Poverty.
Please support this call. Tell your MP.
