Every single word Andrew says is factual and he expresses the sense of despair so many of us on the frontline feel…

This govt do not deserve to be guardians of our NHS!

Pls RT the hell out of this!

Leave the EU, your nearest neighbour, and lose 4% of GDP.
Join a trading bloc on the other side of the planet to gain 0.08% of GDP.

Nel 1995, cinquanta anni dopo Hiroshima, John Rawls scrisse un saggio sui limiti cui una democrazia dovrebbe attenersi nel corso di una guerra (nel corso della quale lui aveva combattuto). Da leggere: https://t.co/cU0SrSnQRW @DissentMag #guerra #ClusterBombs

Sainsbury's CEO Simon Roberts total pay for 2022/23 was £4.9m.

On a 40 hour week, that's over £2k/hour.

His lowest-paid workers earn just £11/hour.

I asked how on earth that's justifiable, especially during a cost of living crisis.

The silence was deafening.

A sei anni dai tragici fatti della Grenfell Tower (era la notte del 14 giugno 2017) sono ancora vivi in tutti noi i volti sorridenti di Gloria e Marco, tra le 72 vittime.

Untruths being peddled everywhere.

Johnson wasn’t forced out by anyone but himself. The Privileges Committee (Conservative dominated) would recommend, the Commons (Conservative dominated) would vote, his constituents (Conservative majority) would decide.

He chose to quit.

Literal shit is pouring into our seas. Every single UK river is chemically polluted. Yet last year private water firms almost *trebled* shareholder dividends, meaning less money invested in upgrades. Time to bring water back into public hands. @We_OwnIt

This is an E. coli sample from the River Deben in Suffolk. Taken 1 month ago. There should be no more than 9 blue dots on the whole dish.

How many can you count?
