🚨 Heartburn Warning for Britain 🚨
What really gives us heartburn? NHS cuts.
Cuts are about to hit two-thirds of local hospitals across the UK. We are mapping these cuts to fight back against the politicians responsible.

In previous years, this issue was barely making headlines. Now it's regularly appearing on national television. It's time for NatureScot to stop licensing the killing of Gannet chicks.
Half a million flogging gold, a £5M reward for Brexit - and now reports say he’s been funded by a convicted criminal.
Farage isn't fighting for Britain - he's fighting for the highest bidder.
Reform is now funded by 3 billionaires.
Christopher Harborne - a tax exile living tax free in Thailand under their special tax regime
Ben Delo - a tax exile living tax free in Hong Kong under their special tax regime
Sasan Ghandehari - a tax exile living tax free in Switzerland under their special tax regime
The party of the people.
On 24 June a man shot Gulls and chicks on the roof of Sulzer in Ransomes Europark, Ipswich. Natural England granted the licence to kill both Lesser Black-Backed and Herring Gulls during nesting season.
Given our environmental challenges, the educational value of the Watch programmes (I still lament Autumnwatch) is invaluable; they also support the greenlit GCSE in Natural History. And the sheer beauty of Winterwatch offers respite. Please think again BBC @ChrisGPackham
First of all Autumnwatch got the axe and now Winterwatch,1.8 million people regularly tune into the watches . It keeps being highlighted on them that Nature is so good for our mental wellbeing maybe the people should send this message to the BBC through emails. Take care Dominic
🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on the refereeing in Argentina's 3-2 victory over Cape Verde:
"We are watching a script, not a football match. Cape Verde did not just play against eleven men from Argentina tonight, they played against the referee, they played against the system, and they played against the entire agenda of the tournament.
When you are a small nation, you have to be perfect to win. But when you are Argentina, you are allowed to make mistakes because the whistle will always save you. Every 50/50 challenge went one way. Every time Cape Verde built momentum, there was a convenient foul given. A 111th-minute own goal? The pressure was artificially created. It breaks my heart for Cape Verde because they were absolute warriors, but in modern football, being a warrior is not enough when the result has already been decided in an office."
Portes "Theres a lot of nonsense talked, including on Sky, about the spiralling welfare bill.. as a proportion of our national income.. its lower than it was 15yrs ago & its pretty much back to what it was under Thatcher.. this idea its out of control is just wrong"
Spot on!
Prices are rising because of the US-Israel war on Iran.
Trump's demand for more military spending is forcing cuts elsewhere.
The NHS is being ripped off for US Big Pharma.
Some ally.
US deal with NHS will cost £45bn and lead to over 200,000 deaths

I’ve tabled a Parliamentary motion calling for cooperation to stop the illegal shooting of migratory birds as they travel through Europe.
The lesson from past extinctions is wildlife doesn’t recognise borders and conservation only happens if we work with our neighbours.
“Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay.
Nor an offence for which they should be penalised.
But a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community.”
This Labour govt has abandoned the natural environment, focusing instead on a one dimensional carbon obsession. Lose the Congo, Amazon or SE Asian forests and we are in real trouble. Appalling
From @thetimes:
Ministers have gutted a multimillion-pound fund to save the world’s second-largest rainforest, which is home to elephants, chimps and gorillas.
@LeeWhiteCBE - “The Congo Basin is absolutely critical for the stability of the African continent and has a big influence on weather patterns around the world. Cut the trees down, you lose 60 per cent of the rainfall.”
“Huge pledges were made about how much money was going to be made available to preserve tropical forests and particularly the Congo Basin. And then that money never materialises. It’s just a long line of false promises.”
