Today marks the 80th anniversary of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

As tensions rise across the world we must learn the lessons of the past and recommit to a world without nuclear weapons.

HOW PRIVATE HEALTHCARE SUCKS MONEY OUT OF THE NHS CASE STUDY

Five private companies were paid £536m by the NHS for outsourced eye care in 23/24.

Of the £536m, £68m went to private equity debts & a whopping £169m in profits.

That’s 44% going to capitalists not frontline care.

@azuresupport I'm trying to raise a subscription management support request but get this error creating the case. When I call the phone number I end up in a loop with the automated assistant who then directs me to raise a case online. I'm kind of stuck here!

The U.K. had one of the longest lockdowns in the world, and this was due directly to Johnson’s decision-making…

If climate change protesters should be sent to prison, what should happen to companies and their directors, who persistently destroy the environment, causing destruction of the natural world, deaths of rare species, pollution and human disease?

Love how anonymous Twitter pundits think they know the truth of NHS funding when…

- Lancet Commission
- Nuffield Trust
- King’s Fund
- Health Foundation
- & Financial Times…

All conclude: the NHS is grossly underfunded!

Anyone arguing otherwise is either ignorant or maligned

This should be on every front page…

NHS activity has doubled over ten years!

Try and grasp the fact that the amount of activity staff are doing for patients has more than doubled in ten years!

Beds haven’t. Staff numbers haven’t. Time hasn’t.

Suella Braverman - The Rwanda judgment is disappointing for the majority of the British people.

Fiona Bruce - Is there anyone here who support sending people to Rwanda?

#bbcqt audience gives a resounding no.

The absurd way we run water in England is almost unique in the world.

Water is a natural monopoly and it's essential to life. It should never have been sold off.

No wonder most of us want it brought back into public hands. Now will politicians listen?

You MADE the problem. Deliberately. You cut off all legal routes for asylum seekers and created a problem quite knowingly so that you could go all Demon-Headmistress on their migrant arses.

If people are named today in the Privileges Committee special report please remember some MPs like Bob Seeley need to be reminded of their actions - short term memory loss is a terrible thing BUT we can help

Sunak blaming #NHS waiting lists on Covid simply won’t wash - they long predated the pandemic. And unless Govt starts paying #NHS staff properly, his new plans won’t be worth the paper they’re written on #bbclaurak

Shocker… country with the fewest doctors and nurses has one of the worst health outcomes for cancer and heart attacks!

Just make sure everyone knows it is a government choice to treat NHS staff like sh!t

Staggering new anti-boycott Bill proposed by Gove - effectively banning public bodies from boycotting those who abuse human rights or the planet. Yet another utterly anti-democratic clampdown we've come to expect from this Govt. This Bill should be nowhere near our statute book.
