I’d go one step further; genuinely think this is inline with endpoint of Tory ideology - everyone to pay for everything. They abhor tax money being used for someone else’s benefit. If you can’t pay, then charity or …..
“I genuinely think that they're slowly trying to replace doctors…”
Junior doctor Eilidh calls @mrjamesob to express her concern with the expansion of 'physician associates' in the NHS.
@WorldAltMedia@Tanjobidesu@EricIdle What do you have a background in? Having to wait at passport control whilst EU citizens didn’t? It obviously rankled.
Well, since 2016, it rankles me but I don’t blame the EU. I blame the lack of unbiased, fact based investigative reporting.
Something truly frightening is happening. As you might know, I used to live in France, still go over a lot, and take an interest in French politics.
I have watched how, simultaneously here and in France, the mainstream news programmes have been giving obscure politicians and activists from the far right a constant platform to air their extremist views.
There has been what Chomsky calls a manufacturing of consent for the likes of Farage, Le Pen, murkily-funded Institute of Economic Affairs, etc., to normalise extremist political views that disrupt social cohesion and dismantle the social security safety net.
We have Farage, who has failed to be elected as an MP 7 times, who is the personification of the hubris that led to a Hard Brexit and the economic chaos of the country, being given wall-to-wall coverage. Every utterance, every brain-fart is analysed and pronounced on. Every possible opportunity to afford him a TV platform is offered.
The same goes for the Far Right in France.
Why?
Who is behind it?
No one should be in any doubt that this is americanisation of health, driven by profit, a race to the bottom in terms of patient safety, standards, good medical practice, access, training, professional regulation- denial of care,all deliberate, not accidental or incompetence
Jeremy Clarkson insulting David Attenborough for annoying him by complaining about the planet being killed, probably woke or something.
RT if you stand with Attenborough
Like if you prefer Clarkson
The UK Government spent £8m trying to hang this portrait of King Charles in every public building including schools.
RT if it should have been spent on education.
@davesumnersmith@jeremycorbyn@BorisJohnson@Keir_Starmer He wouldn’t have lied, missed Cobra meetings, partied during lockdown, redecorated no 10 or had a wedding reception paid for by donors. He definitely would have understood that borders mean border checks & delays. Actually on that basis, almost anyone would have been a better PM.
As politicians plan to make greater use of privatised care homes, be warned.
Some have a profit margin of 80%. Care homes are mostly funded from the public purse. Money buys less.
End corporate welfare. End privatisation of social care.

Conservative MP Brandon Lewis earns £250,000 working one day a week for two sanctioned Russians, he has 6 other 'second' jobs as well.
Is there any other explanation for this than corruption?
£37,000,000,000 was spent on Dido Harding's Test and Trace, it did approximately 120M tests, that is over £300 per test.
About 10x the actual cost, where did all the money go?
Johnson accidentally deleted 5000 WhatsApp messages, Hunt forgot he owned seven flats, Rees-Mogg didn't remember taking a £6m loan and Villiers couldn't recall owning £70k-worth of Shell shares. Sometimes the Tories just can't catch a break.
@mcbdave@robjlinds@TheGreenParty@BBCNews They’ve already moved it abroad. They make said money through the goods & services they sell to the British people. They will still do that off course.
Guy nails grifter: “the biggest waste of money in the EU is the salary we all pay to Mr Farage. Let’s be honest about it, you are a member of the fisheries committee for example and you’re never there. Never. In 2011, no attendance. In 2012, no attendance”
@AngloGenXer @joe_rich@afneil What’s your evidence?
Evidence such as the removal of NI contributions for the self-employed. How are they meant to qualify for state pension?
Btw, state pension is under the personal tax allowance so is not taxed. Any pension over the allowance is already taxed. Nothing new.

Dear @RishiSunak
I am so sorry you had a Sky deprived childhood.
I was born in 1950, so i didnt have it either.
But
I did have:
School milk
Free vitamins & orange juice
Council houses
Maternity homes
Cottage hospitals
GP home visits
No child today has this!
Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled.
He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off.
We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.
Rishi Sunak seems confused about his pay dispute with doctors. #BattleForNumber10
Strikes are NOT to blame for waiting lists, which were already at a record high before any strikes started.
And junior doctors are NOT the only group in dispute, as he’s already been reminded 👇
