Only three peers last night wanted to vote against water company privatisation and to refuse a bail out for them.
We expected it from Tories and Lib Dems, but what has happened to @UKLabour? Where is its moral conscience?
Us two Greens and @premnsikka were isolated.
Even @MailOnline has picked up that the hourly rate for a doctor in England is a disgrace.
After a 6 year intensive degree a doctor will earn £15 per hour, working 48 hour weeks. Future doctors are turning away due to poor pay and conditions in the NHS.
Things must change.
Does anyone know why life saving air ambulances have to rely on funding from charities
But helicopters for the Royal Family are paid for by the tax payer?
Colleen Howe was reassured by a PA that her breast lump was harmless. She was 8 months pregnant .She trusted what she was told because she thought that the PA was a doctor .

Dear @wesstreeting, you asked doctors to work with you to improve the NHS. The below meeting happened before you became SoS for DHSC and showed NHSE's deliberate exclusion of doctors!!
I hope the Working Group now includes doctor reps, but if not, why not?
Yesterday in #Bath, legendary filmmaker Ken Loach spoke powerfully at the rally for Palestine, extending heartfelt thanks to Bath Campaigns Network for their “magnificent work in keeping the truth alive.”
Ken reminded us: “The biggest weapon we have is solidarity.” He praised the bravery of young activists picketing arms factories supplying weapons to Israel, condemning the UK government for enabling apartheid. “If you are supplying weapons to people committing crimes, you are an accomplice to that crime.”
Ken also called out pro-Israeli groups that smeared Jeremy Corbyn, labeling them apologists for war crimes. He described the devastation in Gaza: children maimed, families orphaned, and lives torn apart. “There will be a day of reckoning,” he declared, outlining essential demands:
1️⃣ Immediate and permanent ceasefire
2️⃣ Recognition of Palestine
3️⃣ War criminals and their accomplices standing trial in The Hague
4️⃣ Palestinians deciding their own future democratically
5️⃣ Justice and reparations for destruction and suffering
“Without justice, there can be no peace.”

As a country we spend more time up in arms squabbling about inheritance tax millionaires than we do on the 3 million people that used food banks last year.
Decades of protecting and conserving the wealthiest has had a huge impact on how we look at things.
20 yrs after my 1st paper on microplastics, the science is clear microplastics are now widely distributed across the planet, causing harm & contaminating the food we eat the water we drink & the air we breathe. It’s time to change the way we design use and dispose of plastics!
