I know how hard people work, but having spent the entire day in A&E at @WhitHealth and being told we're gonna keep you down here in A&E to be monitored. Rather than just be honest and say there's no plans you're gonna be sleeping down here
I love the NHS, but it's broken.
Tony Blair has dismissed the phrase "Free Palestine", saying that Palestinians need a solution, not slogans.
Palestinians need Tony Blair to stay away from Gaza.
The solution is an end to the occupation - and we will never stop until there is real freedom for Palestine.
“The fuel prices are high due to the war”
Shell profits: £14.3 billion
BP profits: £5.8 billion
A combined 52% rise from the previous year
Government takes: £31 billion
It’s not the war it’s greed
Energy giants make billions. Bosses pocket millions. Meanwhile families skip meals, ration heating and struggle to get to work.
This isn’t simply a “cost of living crisis”. It’s the result of corporate greed, made worse by Brexit.
Britain isn’t broke. It’s being fleeced.
Martin Lewis, there is something very, very, very wrong in the system... 😡
So … let me get this straight:
* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year
The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m
* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary
Meanwhile there are...
* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!
All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...
THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.
Something needs to change.
Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?
I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.....
COPIED AND PASTED FROM OTHERS :
PLEASE KEEP IT GOING SO MORE AND MORE GET TO SEE IT .
What else needs to be said? 98.2% of British businesses want us to rejoin the EU. Brexit has been, and always will be, a complete catastrophy for the U.K.
Labour need to call a referendum, and take us back where we belong, with our friends in the EU.
Agree? Or braindead?
The revelation that Sunak has paid £1M in tax in the last 3 years 0.13% of his £720m wealth.
While the average person has paid about £45k or 14%, 100x as much.
Should open your eyes to just how much and how blatantly the rich dodge tax
Hands up if you think Michael
Gove describing the revelation from the Covid Inquiry that £10 billion was wasted on duff PPE as an 'honest mistake', a load of old bollocks.

Left: Keir Starmer says our international reputation has improved under his leadership
Right: Revd Sue Parfitt, 84, was arrested after holding a sign following the proscription of a protest group by Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper. Over 1,000 elderly women have been arrested for also holding up signs
Under Stramer and Cooper, the face of terrorism is elderly old women, that's trashing our international reputation, not raising it
