Starmer says the UK will not rejoin the EU or any of its structures in his lifetime.

He’s dead wrong. And the country knows it.

The private sector won’t save the NHS.

The Government is planning to renationalise Thames Water and pay off £15.6bn of their debt.

NO, let them go bankrupt and nationalise for nothing.

[Dr Andrew Meyerson @AndrewMeyerson]

Dear 🇬🇧,

This is the anatomy of a militant takeover of your public healthcare system:

- Take the #1 healthcare system on Earth
- Defund it by £320 billion over a decade
- Force doctors and nurses to leave country
- Engineer the longest waitlist in NHS history
- Hold patients hostage to private healthcare
- Get the public sick, angry, out of work
- Call the sick public “generation sicknote”
- Mandate employers pay for private care

This is how they’ll continue to funnel billions more of your public money into the private sector, propping them up at the expense of your NHS, under the guise of “reducing the benefits bill and boosting the economy.” They could have simply funded the NHS and we wouldn’t be such a sick and out of work nation.

And so when we talk about the creation of a two-tier system, this is exactly what we mean: rapid access to a doctor for the wealthy on private healthcare, and years-long waits to see a non-doctor in the NHS.

The @Conservatives goal has always been to turn your NHS into an American privatised nightmare — just like the one I grew up in where healthcare is obtained through the employer at massive cost to both employer and employee — and it’s all happening right under your nose, without your consent.

So please wake up and stop letting them steal your healthcare from you and your family. They are not going to improve your healthcare, they’re simply going to take it away, only to sell it right back to you.

If you value the health of your family, never vote for them ever again.

George Bush & Tony Blair launched an illegal war in Iraq, leading to the death of a million people.

Today, they're rich, rewarded & free... whilst Julian Assange languishes in prison for exposing their war crimes.

Why would the Conservatives want local authorities to remain close to bankruptcy? Well,
1. It forces them to sell off (privatise) land and buildings.
2. It leaves them without the legal funds and administrative capacity to fight predatory developers and other favoured interests.

We cannot simply vote Labour in, blindly accepting whatever rubbish policies they come up with, and feeling grateful that they are not the Tories.

They are not saviours, they are politicians, susceptible to all of the things that all politicians are susceptible to.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Allow me to summarise…

Govt MPs refused PPE from actual PPE suppliers

They then delayed while their mates could set up their own manufacturing/supply chains

Surprise when they produce utter rubbish

To conclude: They took money meant to save our lives and got stupid rich!

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

I know from experience that many of you don't want to hear this. But, as always, we should be prepared to recognise and embrace uncomfortable truths. The latest findings about the health effects of woodburning stoves are simply horrendous.

....Michelle Mone on #bbclaurak...

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Michelle Mone admits she stands to benefit from £60m profit made by supplying defective PPE.

Admits she lied about her involvement with the PPE firm.

This isn't the full story.

Govt sued Mone a year ago, but still no court hearing. Why not?

Turmoil = NATO bombing Libya 7,700 times in 7 months.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Why not spell out the truth?

Libya is another catastrophic example of Western military intervention.

Just like Iraq.

Just like Afghanistan.

And those responsible for these calamities - and those who cheered them on - are still venerated as statesmen and respected commentators

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

The govt has announced greater involvement of the private sector in the NHS, supposedly to tackle waiting lists

@DrAmirKhanGP provides an excellent explanation about why using the private sector undermines the NHS still further (and hastens its demise)
