Our schools are full of asbestos & falling down, prisons bursting at the seams, new housing non-existent, old people isolated & dying through lack of care, people desperate for operations and they choose to build 8 new private NHS hospitals with our money.

💥 Today patients stuck on waiting lists respond to plans to expand private sector use in our NHS

They tell their stories and send a clear message to govt:
❌ STOP diverting public money to private shareholders
💙 FUND our NHS properly to tackle waiting lists #OnlytheNHS

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

So much smearing & belittling of consultants in the press, but this, from today’s @thetimes letters page, could not have put it more beautifully.

Pls RT if you agree.

#NHS 💙

After Starmer row over his refusal to commit to ending 2-child benefit cap, Lab leader’s personal ratings have dropped from -4% to -14%. Among current Lab voters it has gone from +52% net approval (64% approving 12% disapproving) two weeks ago to +38% (55% 17% disapproving).
👏👏

Just who do these partys think they're representing? It's certainly not us.

@AldiUK Have done

@AldiUK husband bought this salmon today at your Thornton store, not checking the date. Should you be selling out of date salmon?

@JakeBerry @BorisJohnson We didn't vote for brexit, some did, certainly not a majority and only because of the lies fees then by Johnson and his mob. He's responsible for the whole shit storm facing our economy now. He has one set of interests, his own.

[PlanetDeb @planetdebra]

Won't be bothering now tbh, with total lack of response. No one's canvassed locally either to my knowledge.

@SeftonGreens As an ex-Labour voter I'll be voting green locally and potentially in the next GE too. There are lots of disgruntled ex-Lab voters like me, you need to do more to get these votes.

@ToryFibs I have wondered where he'd disappeared to, but why do you say that?

[PlanetDeb @planetdebra]

@Mrbaiti And how much more could we all add?!

[PlanetDeb @planetdebra]

The investigation made clear Twitter was never perfect. But it had exposed how hate is thriving under Twitter's new owner. Current and former Twitter employees told me "nobody is taking care of" features designed to protect users from hate and harm.

[PlanetDeb @planetdebra]

@sainsburys as you double profits how do you justify £2.25 for 12 Oxo cubes when I can get 18 identical ones £1.69 in Home Bargains? Or £4.25 for Bottle green squash that was £3.35 then £3.75 now this? Just 2 examples. You pricecheck Aldi and then just put prices up elsewhere.

It's in the bin, along with the rest of the uneaten tart. I'll see if I can dig it out. You only do one large lemon tart though.

[PlanetDeb @planetdebra]

@marksandspencer I bought a lemon tart from your Aintree branch on Friday and I have to say how awful it was. It was totally over-baked with rock hard pastry. Not a patch on Sainsbury's. I don't suppose you can do anything about it but I thought I'd raise the issue. Thanks Debra

[PlanetDeb @planetdebra]

@marksandspencer Melvyn?

Time to vote with your feet folks. Musk doesn't deserve to have you.

Hate Musk and his arrogant treatment of staff and if Trump's now coming back I'm off.
It's been nice knowing (most of) you.

[PlanetDeb @planetdebra]

What a bellend Musk is. If I were a software engineer I'd be taking my talents elsewhere. Acting like some sort of king, treating staff like servants. Glad so many have told him to stuff his job. As for bringing Trump back, sure his remaining advertisers will respond accordingly.
