It would take the average UK worker more than 32,000 years to make what British Gas just made in 6 months.
This is a cost-of-greed crisis — and millions of people are paying the price.
There is an alternative: bring energy into democratic public ownership!
Junior doctors working for the NHS in England will take strike action for the 5th time from 7am, 11 August to 7am, 15 August. We continue to fight for #PayRestoration and continue to wait for the Government to return to the negotiating table. https://t.co/peTEJ5QgbY
The 3 people deciding that NHS Drs are paid enough despite Drs having 26% pay reductions & reducing
Who have had pay restoration as MPs in 2016 & pay in line with inflation - not that they needed it - as their wealth keeps on growing
It’s the sick that need Drs not the healthy
The Consultants of Dorset hospital have written a letter to @SteveBarclay
They strike tomorrow
This letter is incredible
I challenge anyone to refute a single point in it
Worth a read for you too @wesstreeting
'We're not going away. We're in it for the long-run. So come to the table.'
Doctors' message for @SteveBarclay from the picket lines 🗣️📢
The 6% offer is ANOTHER real-terms pay cut.
We need a luxury emissions tax on private jets, super yachts & space tourism.
Private jets cause 10 times more emissions than normal air travel. The top 1% are responsible for double the emissions of the bottom 50%.
The climate crisis is a symptom of billionaire greed.
We know it’s possible to give refugees safe passage – we did it with Ukrainian refugees. Will you stand with refugees and demand safe passage for people who want to claim asylum in the UK?
Schools are falling apart. Literally, there’s a risk to kids. Teachers pay for food for hungry kids and for supplies DESPITE being underpaid.
Don’t want strikes?
Pay teachers what they deserve you tossers, instead of peering down from your ivory tower. It’s your fucking fault!
"..and the Lord said I was hungry and you said you can make a meal for 30p, I was thirsty and you filled my water with shit, I was a stranger and you sent me to Rwanda, I was sick and you asked whether I had health insurance..."
In the past 25 years, teachers real-term pay has decreased by 20%.
MP’s pay has risen by 23% real-terms.
This is factual. Please don’t ignore this. Change has to happen now.

Your Mum waits 40 hours for an ambulance so BP don’t have to pay tax.
Your kids can’t afford University so Amazon don’t have to pay tax.
Your sister can’t get housing so Google don’t have to pay tax.
Your Gran’s on a 5 yr hospital waiting list so Vodaphone don’t have to pay tax.
To anyone saying “the NHS isn’t working, it should be scrapped, we need a new system”.
You’re absolutely right that it isn’t working. Politicians have undermined the service, blamed the staff, and allowed privatisation in.
But it was judged to be the best healthcare system…
