£18 - hourly rate for a resident doctor after the 29% rise
£24 - hourly rate for a physicians assistant
If you're ok with assistants earning more than actual doctors, congratulations, you've fallen for Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer's attack on the people who will keep you safe when you fall ill, doctors
HMRC will send 17 letters, 4 texts, a carrier pigeon and the Mexican cartel to chase Dave from Manchester for underpaying £3.76 in tax.
But a firm linked to Michelle Mone can owe £39m (on top of the £122m already owed) can swan off to Miami and live their best lives with zero criminal liability.....
One rule for the rich and another for the poor.
If NHS trusts hadn’t had to pay more than £1.8 billion in *interest charges* to private companies, that money could have paid for the starting salaries of over 50,000 NHS doctors 😮🚨
"UK regulator warns 9 water companies over finances."
Let's face it as Ofwat's career as a regulator heads towards oblivion it's a pretty shameful end of term report card for those that have sat on the board for 35 years and those secretaries of state who appointed them. You failed!

Of course, Nigel Farage wants to leave the European Court of Human Rights.
Last week, 3 ex-MPs filed this case in its ‘Supreme Court’, the Grand Chamber.
Why wouldn’t Nigel Farage want the UK govt to investigate Russian interference? 🤔
The energy bill write off con.
Fuel poverty debt £4.4bn. Ofgem says £500m could be written off.
It would be added to the bills of other customers. Energy companies made £514bn operating profit since 2020.
No cuts in their profits. Debt would be rebuilt

NHS trusts are locked into paying private companies more than £20 billion 😮🚨, and it looks like Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer are planning more NHS privatisation…
Farage is lying about the ECHR. He says it’s letting immigrants in, but the numbers don’t match.
He’s not trying to fix immigration, he’s trying to scrap the law that stops the government from legally stripping your fundamental rights.
Disgraceful: government failing to defend 16 million "customers" with no choice but to use Thames Water
Special administration now
Squeeze private owners + lenders for £££
Say no to bill rises
Say no to sewage until 2040
Slash debt by 50%+
TAKE IT BACK

"Bond giant Pimco sells bulk of Thames Water debt position,"
If I remember correctly Pimco has already 'booked' a 17% profit on its buying and selling of Thames Water's debt.
Nothing but vultures feeding on the carcass and all at TW's customers' expense.

So doctors are legally obliged to reject a £15 box of chocolates from a patient as a “conflict of interest”…
…but the bloke in charge of the ENTIRE BRITISH MEDICAL SYSTEM can take ~£400K from “private health sources” since coming into office…
…and that’s totally okay???
You’re waiting months to see a specialist doctor and years for your surgery.
Meanwhile, the Health Secretary @wesstreeting is threatening to cut doctors’ jobs and refusing to fund training.
This isn’t protecting the NHS.
Is this really the Labour Party people voted for?
🚨This is now approaching a million views and public outrage is growing .
These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child
and even worse - these changes were introduced by the government without consultation, without warning and no evidence base - it’s incomprehensible and must be stopped

“No other country judged the quality of a PPE offer on the political connections of the firm.”
@RussellScott1 worked with us to expose the VIP lane & PPE scandal. Watch his interview with @PeterKGeoghegan on the continuing lack of accountability:

📈your bills are getting higher
🚽your rivers are being treated like open sewers
🧐but Thames Water has been spending millions of pounds of billpayers' money on... paying advisers from private equity firms ⁉️
Private ownership of water is a shameful waste of YOUR money.
Public ownership will stop money leaking out of our water system.
A bit of background info on Wes Streeting that you won’t have been given in his TV interviews today - particularly in regard to discussions about junior doctors and the @NHSuk There will have been no mention of the amount of money Wes has received from wealthy private healthcare providers in donations.
The @ElectoralCommUK website shows that Wes has received £587,259.00 in donations. These include:
£237,900.00 from the multimillionaire, private healthcare provider and Labour donor Peter Hearn.
£80,000 from the billionaire banker and hedge fund manager John Armitage.
£11,500 from Labour donor Sir Trevor Chinn.
£34,500 from the entrepreneur, banker and Labour donor Anthony Watson.
£37,000 from the consortium Labour For The Long Term @Labourlongterm
£3,143 from @unisontheunion
£15,000 from Labour donor Ruth Driscoll of @mariecurieuk
£5,000 from the once prominent Tory Lord Phillip Harris.
£2,000 from the @CommunityUnion
£5,000 from the software company @CalyxSoftware
£5,000 from Labour donor Richard Parker.
£14,600 from Lord Alli.
£16,000 from Labour donor Linda Riley.
£20,000 from Labour donor Francesca Sainsbury Perrin.
With his £159,038 salary, expenses (£33,653.91 claimed in the past year), generous donations, allowances and perks, Wes is prospering very nicely at Westminster.
On 9th July 2025 Wes voted for the Universal Credit/PIP cuts that will result in further hardship for people who are disabled and vulnerable. Wes also voted to scrap the #WinterFuelPayment to vulnerable pensioners 🥶 and voted to retain the two child benefit cap which ‘significantly contributes to child poverty’ in the UK.

Australia has passed a Bill that will limit the total spending on a party by billionaires like Elon Musk to just $50,000. Because Democracy should never be for sale. Westminster needs to pass this urgently, where it's still legal for billionaires to donate millions and interfere in our politics.
Meanwhile - Elon Musk is literally bankrolling Tommy Robinson’s court case.
The far-right don’t need votes when they’ve got billionaires. 🇬🇧
UK faces highest inflation in G7 this year and next, IMF warns.
Biggest cause is profiteering led by energy, water and food businesses. No govt checks it.
Real average wage stuck at 2008 level. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.

Big pharma threatens the UK govt.
Want higher drugs prices/profits, squeezing the NHS budget, forcing higher taxes.
Trump wants lower drugs prices in the US, uses Europe as reference point. So companies threaten UK govt.
Govt must produce generic drugs.
