A group of my very dear friends came together to make this post, thank you to @alexandrite113 & Fran I’m not sure you’re on Twitter, and everyone who contributed. #longcovidawareness#longcovid
🚨 BREAKING:
The United Nations has officially declared Gaza a genocide zone, noting that Israel is deliberately targeting children and infants.
It took a full three years to reach this conclusion.
You can become disabled or homeless in an instant.
It just takes one accident or illness to change your life forever.
It’s not a moral failing.
You can’t just “try harder”.
People need support, compassion and to have their basic needs met.
That’s how you ensure survival.
Britain has produced a generation of thirty-year-olds who can't afford to move out, can't afford to have children, can't afford to get ill, and can't afford to stop.
They did everything they were told. School, university, the debt, the graduate scheme, the promotion that came with more responsibility and £200 a month.
The reward is a life where every month is spoken for before it starts, with nothing left over to build anything that might eventually get them out.
A million people didn't independently fail. This is what a decade of flat wages against climbing costs actually looks like.
This tedious little w*nker is Chris Weston, CEO of Thames Water. He says:
"Bills have been too low for too long."
You will note that he says nothing about his salary has been too high for achieving f*ck all.
Thames Water has not built a reservoir SINCE 1977.

We are in the middle of an extreme drought while Water Companies in England who never build any reservoirs, allow billions of litres of water to leak every day
But still they are planning to build 100+ new 'Data Centres' that will use hundreds of millions of litres a day more
#Tories block Disability News Service from receiving press releases, and stop answering its calls and emails https://t.co/uibbt7oECO IMO The Tory Party are lying #cowardly so-called Politicians who are happy to lie & spin about some of the most #vulnerable people within the UK
Carer’s Allowance: £12.35 for ONE DAY (24 hours).
National Living Wage: £12.71 for ONE HOUR.
24 hours.
One hour.
That’s the comparison.
One day’s support for an unpaid carer is worth less than one hour of the legal minimum wage. @andyburnham@EdwardJDavey#unpaidcarers
The last major reservoir built in England was Carsington Reservoir in Derbyshire COMPLETED IN 1992.
The water industry is a criminal enterprise. Billions handed out to CEOs and shareholders with no justification whatsoever.
The lack of governance is disgraceful.

#r4today say hello to Helen Whately, shadow SoS for work & pensions. Salary £120k PA. her constituency is 50 miles from the HoC, she claims £39k (more than a nurses salary) PA to rent a house in London...she hates benefit claimants https://t.co/hDHTdNwhfA
🚨 BREAKING:
The BBC has compiled evidence of 160+ Palestinian children deliberately shot in the head by Israeli snipers in Gaza.
The reports state: "Israeli Jews are hunting children for sport."
@jm19899 Anxiety is a normal human emotion and not considered a disabilit, therefore you can't claim disability benefits for it. Anxiety disorder which is a severe mental health condition is a disability. Please, learn the difference.
@DanielM01430552 After talking to a few people, hmmm, so you've never tried. Do try it yourself mate. Especially for M.E., come back and let me know how that went for you. A copy of your award letter would be great.
@jimthegiant There are already to few jobs to go round. If work needs doing a properly paid job should be created for that role and someone hired to do it. Its not fking rocket science.
Hamas handed Israel 66 boxes each one containing the skull of a hostage
They then returned the bodies of female hostages cut open with their organs removed
Wait that was actually the IDF not Hamas
Let me know if you still feel as sick and enraged as you did 10 seconds ago
COULD SOMEONE IN AMERICA PLEASE EXPLAIN THE APPEAL TO US HERE IN EUROPE 🤔
HE'S AN 80 YEAR OLD DROOLING DEMENTIA PATIENT IN MAKEUP AND DIAPERS AND MILLIONS OF YOU WORSHIP HIM LIKE A GOD 🙄 WE DONT UNDERSTAND INSANE SHIT LIKE THIS HERE IN EUROPE 🤷
They want you furious at migrants, trans people, students and protesters so you never look upward at the profiteers, propagandists and politicians emptying your pockets. The culture war is camouflage for class war.
A Palestinian student absolutely eviscerates Tommy Robinson and Lawrence Fox at the Oxford Union debate.
Jacob Rees Mogg also destroys him.
Take a listen and enjoy 😉
It amazes me that some people are jealous of disabled people getting PIP... and yes i said 'jealous'. What kind of country do we live in where disabled people are demonised, vilified, made to feel guilty, like a common criminal for something that is beyond their control.
I have heard many people in the water industry and indeed some in government repeating the lie, why I wonder?
Of the £91 billion being spent by water companies over the next 5 years £90 billion of it, that's 99% it is being funded directly from bill payers pockets, from your bank account and mine, not shareholders.
Which raises the obvious question, what actually is the point of the shareholders, why do we need them?
Interview starts 2 hours 45 minutes into the programme.
