On the eve of the Budget we’re calling for action. 📢
Our message: “Tax us, the super rich.” It’s time to fix the foundations of our country by asking those who can afford it to contribute more. Let’s build a fairer future together.
Thanks again, @garyseconomics 🗞️#Budget2024

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.
I think this is a national scandal.
Please RT if you do too 🙏
The choice is not whether to support Israel or Palestine.
The choice is whether to support war crimes or not…
Whether to support the international laws that protect us all or not…
Whether to choose civilisation or not.
It’s not about sides anymore…
It’s about humanity!
Noam Chomsky explains the steps of privatisation:
👉 Defund
👉 Make sure things don’t work
👉 People get angry
👉 You hand it over to private capital
We must not allow this in the NHS

Absolutely shocking statistics from @TrussellUK
9.3 MILLION people are facing hunger and hardship in the UK.
THREE TIMES the population of Wales
3 million of these people are children
53% of people facing hardship either are disabled or live with someone who is
Richard Branson’s Virgin Medical company has received £2bn from NHS funding but hasn’t paid a single penny in tax.
The scam of Privatisation that sucks all the money out of the system to Tax Havens.
Prof. Christina Pagel’s post now has over 202,000 views. Many politicians and mainstream journalists will have seen it.
So why is there a Wall of Silence?
This is the most significant piece of evidence from the Covid Inquiry so far.
We always forget why inflation was 11%, it was due to Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak.
Who instead of buying out the Energy Companies with £200bn gave it to them for nothing.
Our bills went up 215%.
France's 4%.
France own everything, while we own nothing.
Aspirational parents struggling to pay VAT on public school fees should just borrow the money at 8% compound interest for the rest of their lives. Like millions of working-class students have to.
"Privatisation should never have happened. 35 years of complete waste. £68bn worth of debt, £78bn of dividends, money that could have been spent on our infrastructure and that wasn’t." - @timfarron
It’s time to put the public first and fix this broken system.
Keir Starmer asked by a Tory MP why he's cancelled Boris Johnson's 40 new hospital plan
Starmer: "Because the promise of 40 new hospitals didn't involve 40, didn't involve hospitals, they weren't new and they weren't funded."
"English water system singled out for criticism by UN special rapporteur.
Prof Pedro Arrojo-Agudo says regulator Ofwat ‘complacent’ about water firms putting their shareholders before public."

Our rivers are full of shit, there are wars everywhere, our public services are finished, yet our political media is spending an entire week discussing someone who went to a gig because her husband, a TV presenter, was offered tickets by a music label.
No wonder we're screwed.
Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%.
That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.
