"I think it's worth fighting for it" - Stephen Fry on why you should take action to get politicians to take the #NHSPledge right now: https://t.co/5EJkUkBQOF
Scientists last year said if we reach 2C of warming then 1 billion people will die over the coming years. That’s an underestimation because that kind of impact will destabilise the planet politically as well as physically.
It would mean the end of the modern world as we know it. We are now unexpectedly, hopefully temporarily, hitting 1.7° C. None of this is in the mainstream media. They literally care more about the Super bowl.
"Ofwat’s scheme to fine poorly performing companies ‘a gimmick’."
It is exactly that, a gimmick. Did I mention for 30 years @Ofwat has had the power to ban bonuses, dividends and that debt mountain?
And it's done what exactly? Yep, nothing!
GIMMICK!

1.5C was considered the danger point for all humanity. It is temporary but we have now hit 1.7C. Genuinely hard to believe this is happening let alone without mass media coverage @bbcnews@itvnews@skynews
The day has come when the Daily Mail is reporting climate change more accurately (on one story) than the BBC who have not even reported this story, despite it being real, and being the number one lead story on CNN on Friday @deborahturness The BBC seems absolutely unwilling to tell its viewers the full magnitude of the threat we face - because of a mixture of political interference and lack of editorial interest and understanding. https://t.co/bFtNvf9ASz
Just when you thought they couldn’t possibly sink any lower they somehow always manage to rise to the challenge.
Criminalising people for having nothing is the dumbest, most stupid, most despicable & cruel thing any Government could do.

This is the natural consequence of fourteen years of austerity: a fire sale. You get a bit of money for a while. And a worse service forever.
Ministers plan to push cash-strapped English councils to sell assets https://t.co/rSduLFa0pd
I just emailed Michael Gove to demand he doesn't sell off the family silver. Proposed plans could see councils sell off assets, from parks and pools to art and artefacts, to plug their funding gaps. https://t.co/QNSJ7fBf4j
Another grifter who robbed us through the VIP PPE lane is Priti Patel who got Gove to award a £20m PPE contract to PDL healthcare who are owned by her friend Samir Jassal.

🔹Chair of OBR - Office of Budget Responsibility re Tory Govt Economic Forecast
"TO CALL THIS FICTION IS GENEROUS"
🔹“Beyond March 2025 the govt has told us virtually nothing....TO CALL THIS FICTION IS GENEROUS.
Someone has bothered to write fiction. WHEREAS THE GOVT HASN'T EVEN BEEN BOTHERED to write down what its department spending plans are underpinning public services."
Watch and learn.
The Tories are robbing us blind, hidden behind their friendly media imo 😡

This is Berlin today. Calling for resistance against the Far Right.
All around Germany, people took to the streets in the last days.
History tells us:
We cannot wait until it is too late and Fascists are in power.
We have to stand up to them.
NOW.
“If the mainstream political parties can’t succeed in stopping the rightwing extremists, the onus is on us to create a human firewall against them.”
