Pharma companies have exploited the Strep A outbreak to jack up the price of cheap generic antibiotics from 80p to £18 a pack. Now tell me again about how the RMT and RCN are 'holding the country to ransom'.
Nurses have voted to go on strike for the first time in their history, demanding better pay and a fair deal.
I clapped for them during the pandemic and I support them now.
Solidarity to the nurses! 💙
• NHS Hospital Canteen: ‘Single Tuna sarnie’ costing £3.00 for nurses, paid for out of their own wage
• Houses of Parliament: ‘Rum banana tarte tatin with rum and raisin ice cream’ for the princely sum of £2.37 for MPs, paid for by you the taxpayer
Nurses’ fight is our fight.
Thatcher destroyed British industry. Cameron inflicted self-defeating austerity on millions. Truss blew up the bond markets. And the Daily Mail claims - with a straight face - that nobody has ever done more damage to the UK economy than ... Ed Miliband.
Pay for FTSE 100 bosses is up almost 25% this year, up to nearly £4,000,000 each.
Remember that the next time you hear Tories say they have to make "difficult decisions" to cut nurses' pay and slash funding for public services.

'Then I was in that cell for five hours and I just sat there and cried.'
LBC Reporter Charlotte Lynch tells James O'Brien she 'just lost it' while being under arrest for covering an eco-protest.

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects.
I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars.
Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy."

This deliberate & inciteful hatred of humans, in this case refugees, is all they've got. It's all they've ever had. It's how Brexit happened. It's how Gullis ended up in Parliament & Braverman in the Cabinet. It's disgusting & wrong & the next shameful chapter has barely started.
Disgusted to hear Suella Braverman say there's an "invasion on our southern coast", just a day after a migrant detention centre was fire-bombed.
Language like this – portraying migrants as "invaders" – whips-up hate & spreads division.
She's totally unfit to be Home Secretary.
If Matt Hancock would rather go on I'm A Celebrity than serve his constituents while being paid lots of money to be an MP, he should face an immediate by-election. Against me. RT if you agree.
Britain is not being invaded. People coming here in boats are not going to harm you, take your jobs, displace you, attack you or affect you in any way, shape or form. Stop being gullible. Stop listening to people who want to whip you into hate. They have no fucking answers at all
BP has announced it made profits of £7,000,000,000 in the last 3 months.
Meanwhile, 11 million British families face fuel poverty in the coming months.
This is how it works. Their profits, your pain.

On 18 April 2022, we learned that Liz Truss’ phone was hacked multiple times.
Question is why has that story been recycled today as if it was new news.
The answer is that it is designed to distract us from something else.
The question is what?
The last-but-one PM killed a story that the last PM had her personal phone (used for confidential matters) hacked by the Kremlin, during the entire PM election race & the current PM is defending a Home Sec who used personal email for confidential govt work. Have I got that right?
Just 7% of Brits are privately educated yet 43% of the 100 most influential news editors, 44% of newspaper columnists, 74% of senior judges, 59% of permanent secretaries in the civil service are privately educated. A two-tier education system creates a two-tier society.
Within this breaking news on Liz Truss: DO NOT forget the hack was discovered IN THE SUMMER. But the details were suppressed by then Prime Minister Johnson and Cabinet Secretary Simon Case. Yet, she was STILL allowed to run for PM. And Johnson and Case just buried it. Abhorrent.
