In a state of shock. We just had a council by-election and for the fist time in the 30yrs I've lived here I've managed to vote for the winner. Always won by a Tory now it's gone from Blue to Green. Ok one council seat but a glimmer amongst all the current gloom! #torychaos
Here we have it Gary Lineker v GB News and Kelvin Mackenzie.
If you support Lineker's right to free speech Like
If you can't stand the awful Kelvin Mackenzie and GB News RT.
Oliver Dowden has threatened Bristol University with defunding because they won't play the national anthem at graduation ceremonies.
Like if Bristol Uni can do whatever they want
RT if Oliver Dowden can **** off.
This is really well said. They have ruined everything. I suppose their plan to get rid of NHS waiting lists is to get rid of the NHS all together. No NHS no NHS waiting lists. They keep claiming to speak for the British people but are too scared to ask with an election.
Dear @VictoriaAtkins,
Welcome to X and to your new role as UK Health Secretary. It’s been said that the role of Health Secretary is a “poisoned chalice” so here’s my best advice for you in your new job: stop poisoning the cup.
Your Conservatives inherited the #1 ranked healthcare system in the world and because of your party’s criminal-grade negligence, our NHS is now performing among the worst in Europe.
Patients are waiting longer than ever before to see a GP, get a diagnostic test, get an ambulance, be seen in A&E, be admitted to hospital, receive social care, or have their cancer diagnosed and treated. Mental healthcare is a tragedy. Our hospitals are falling apart with the same dangerous aerated concrete that’s in our schools. NHS clinicians waste hours just waiting for our computers to start.
The situation has become so dire in emergency medicine that 500 patients are dying every single week — that’s 25,000 deaths in 2023 alone — from preventable delays accessing NHS emergency care. Those 25,000 people would still be alive had it not been for your party’s terrible decisions.
But the worst part about your collapse of the NHS and the hundreds of thousands of people killed because of this negligence, was that it was intentional. This wasn’t an accident. It was all by design.
Your @Conservatives engineered this tragedy to drive more people into private healthcare, holding patients hostage on a painful never-ending waiting list, forcing the most desperate to take on medical debt or empty their life savings to pay out of pocket for care that used to be rapid, accessible, and free for all.
This has been catastrophic for public health and the wider economy, leading to record numbers of people unable to work due to infirmity.
The facts are clear: Your @Conservatives engineered the greatest assault on public health in the NHS’ 75 years by gutting NHS resources, denying us £400b in funding over a decade, funnelling record amounts of NHS money into the private sector, failing catastrophically to plan for the pandemic, wasting shocking amounts of taxpayer money during the pandemic, and all throughout this government has taken the hard work and sacrifice of our amazing NHS staff for granted.
We NHS staff have never felt more abandoned by our government. You cannot expect us to continue working in a system you are intentionally collapsing, cutting our pay by 25-35% for our nurses, junior doctors, and consultants. You have allowed the system to hurt so many of us that it’s no wonder that we’re seeing record numbers of our colleagues leaving the NHS, either by suicide, or by airplane to other countries where our labour is respected and valued.
So how do we fix this mess? The answer is not more of your party’s terrible ideas. The answer is to start listening to healthcare experts who unanimously agree: the NHS has been starved of its funding, beds, staff, and social care needs for far too long. Each one of these issues is a national security crisis that needs an urgent solution.
So it’s time to start listening to experts and fix the damage your party has inflicted on our health.
It’s time to fix our staffing crisis and deliver safe staffing every single day for patients by valuing our labour and addressing our staff retention crisis.
Because if you don’t — if you continue to ignore our expert advice — you’ll see all 1.5m NHS staff on the picket line, and the public will stand firmly with us, because while you fight for billionaires and sell off our NHS for profit, patients know we’re standing up for them, fighting for their care, and protecting their NHS for the next generation.
Madame Health Secretary, I promise you today: We will not rest until our patients, our colleagues, and our NHS is safe. Do the right thing and start listening. Good luck.

Patel: don't help migrants in peril in the Channel
Braverman: don't supply tents to the homeless
Johnson: let the elderly die

RETWEET if you think these people are sick #ToriesAreEvil
Orwellian Surveillance:
UK Govt getting powers to monitor bank accounts of 22.4m people.
No court order needed, you won't be told.
Govt says this is to prevent benefit fraud.
The same won't apply to tax dodgers, bankers, money launderers, politicians.

@saturdayartisan@KenKenph59 This season or any season. That may be smug but it's never appealed. Like big brother why would I want to spend time with such people?
Ministers last week rushed an amendment through the Commons, allowing it to look into the bank account of everybody claiming State Pension. Their only reason was that it might be useful one day. The only change which could make it useful would be to means test the State Pension
Rather than pouring ANOTHER £15 million into the unlawful, failed Rwanda expulsion scheme, why doesn't @RishiSunak hire another 300 staff to process asylum applications more rapidly?
The Right to Strike is an essential balance in a democracy
It protects workers from exploitation from the elite
It gives a voice to the workers
Without it we would not have holidays, sick pay, or any workers rights.
We must protect the #RightToStrike
Retweet if you agree!
Severn Trent @stwater and @ofwat up to their old tricks again.
Yet another water company paying out dividends bigger than the profit the company made. Now you know why they to want to put up your water bills.

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore.
The BBC said the @channel4 documentary only makes people angry.
The truth is it shows everyone what lying assholes the Conservatives are.
So do you care?
Feel free to RT to show that you do.
Our NHS is not and never will be for sale
If you agree that politicians should stop allowing the privatisation of our NHS, please reply with a 💙
We must keep up the fight for #OurNHS
Why are men so emotional ?
Can’t they control themselves and stop being so fucken dramatic?
Why can’t they smile more?
Why don’t they hydrate and wear clothes that make them look attractive?
What’s wrong with men?
Why can’t they at least be pleasant?
