Nearly half of hospital Trusts have a ‘planned’ deficit £2.2bn this year

The context here is that GP practices don’t run at a deficit, have had £2.2bn removed from their budgets over the past 10yrs ~20%

Make this make sense @wesstreeting patients need GPs, GPs need employment

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Why in God's name do members of the public have to go to these kind of lengths simply to get regulators to do their job. Something is clearly very badly wrong.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Another reminder you can’t legislate your way out of a broken, privatised water system.

Ministers would have more luck banning bears from sh*tting in the woods.

Public ownership is the only answer.

As Tees Valley mayor Lord Houchen's defence of his deal with local businessmen crumbles, here's the Eye's recent eight-page special report on how Britain's flagship regeneration scheme secretly turned into one of the biggest giveaways of public money on record.

Juliet Stevenson: "There are 4 fully equipped mobile maternity clinics waiting to cross the border.. they're not allowed across... the Israeli govt has blocked [them].. we have to stop selling arms to Israel, we have to stop supporting that regime"

Well said.

[Victoria Derbyshire @vicderbyshire]

Conservative Mayor of Tees Valley Lord Houchen told #Newsnight in 2024 that 2 private developers had ‘£50m of their money sitting in a bank account’ when I quoted an independent report pointing out the pair (Chris Musgrove & Martin Corney) had put no direct cash of their own into regenerating the huge old Redcar steelworks site (now Teesworks)

@RBrooks45 reports in this week’s @PrivateEyeNews that almost all of that £50m has now been taken as dividends by Messrs Musgrave & Corney (there’s £2.7m left in the account)

[James Schneider @schneiderhome]

The Starmer government's non-response to US bombing Venezuela & kidnapping its president is shameful, pathetic & embarrassing.

Its NPC sock puppet behaviour.

The US is a gangster state removing governments & strangling sovereignty around the world.

We should stand up to it.

@BarryGardiner Another helpful comment, thank you, Barry.

[Barry Gardiner MP @BarryGardiner]

Disappointed by the failure of the Prime Minister to clearly state that our closest ally has violated Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter. Why have a lawyer as your leader if they are unwilling to uphold international law?

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Fantastic and revealing session at the select committee @CommonsEFRA hearing this morning, and believe me, I don't write that kind of thing too often.

As we've come to expect failed water industry executive David Hinton from South East Water tries to BS his way through the hearing, it was everybody's else fault, nothing to do with him, the wrong kind of water (I'm serious), wrong chemical, global warming, the wrong kind of snow... and then along comes the man from the ministry who explosively exposes the truth and leave the committee truly and genuinely stunned.

Marcus Rink from the Drink Water Inspectorate @DWI_UK is my new hero. Bravo sir. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

A well known famous Jewish doctor saying it was same 5 years ago when he was in Gaza. It was just slower compared to now. Full genodice.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

"Thames Water said it was investing £20bn between 2025 and 2030 to upgrade its network and that it had paid no dividends or performance-related payments to executive directors last year."

Yet more complete nonsense from @thameswater. Who's "investing" £20bn, that'll be TW's customers, every single penny of that is coming from bill increases, shareholders aren't putting in a farthing.

Paid no dividends, that's not what their annual accounts said and that's exactly why Ofcom fined them, they have indeed paid "dividends". @AlexMJourno

Naughty, naughty naughty Thames Water.

This is craven & embarrassing.

If I see another politician use the stock phrases:

▪️“I’m not going to discuss hypotheticals”
or
▪️”I’m not going to give a running commentary”

Then they should be banned from broadcast media.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

Here is Keir Starmer in 2014 representing Croatia against Serbia for genocide at The Hague.

This is a man now too cowardly to condemn violations of international law in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Qatar, Yemen, and now Venezuela.

The most pathetic Prime Minister in British History.

@Jimshelley I’m extremely concerned that Gaza has all but fallen off the news agenda. Israel’s killed 1000 Palestinians since the so-called ceasefire and banned 20 well respected humanitarian orgs. Meanwhile, there’s been flooding and high winds on parts of the territory.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

If this is accurate, with no legal sanction,with no UN decision, what difference in international law is there between Trump’s attack on Venezuela & Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.If the UK government stands for the rule of law, Keir Starmer must condemn this https://t.co/bbIupWNRUq
