#COVIDIDIOTS should we be evacuating our children to the seaside? Invoking the British wartime blitz spirit of Churchill ... #Letskeepourchildrensafe #NetworkRail and #tfl here’s a previous run from 1940. Courtesy of #Pathe https://t.co/0QC8agEiz5

EXCL: New clip unearthed exclusively by The Red Roar shows Boris Johnson call for the break up of the “monolithic, monopolistic” NHS in 2002 speech. https://t.co/F9OsLfh6g9

Agreed.

Maybe less tribute statues to Nazi sympathisers would be good too?

Please RT. This is happening. Children living in poverty, waking every day hungry. #Poverty is happening and it needs to change. Watch @C4Dispatches #dispatches #growinguppoor and know that this is happening on your doorstep. Every. Single. Day.

My daughter Kate died on this day 4 years ago.
It feels surreal. It hurts every day. My soul is torn.

A year after her death, I wrote a series of 6 essays. I want to share them again. I hope you take the time to read, appreciate, share & understand.

If you are a patient, user or carer trying to change the system. Tell us how your ideas have been stolen, plagiarised, co-opted or your brain sucked dry with little acknowledgement. We need ‘insiders’ to understand the extent of this emotional labour.... I will RT hugely.

Mogg: People died in the fire b/c they're stupid.

Patel: People are in poverty b/c they're stupid.

S.Johnson: The great British public are stupid.

B.Johnson: Working class men are drunk, & stupid.

Leave voters: Wish remoaners would stop calling us stupid. #VoteConservative 🤡

[Hollie @HoppyPelican]

Once the NHS is privatised, how much do we reckon crisis team/home treatment contact will be? ‘I want to die, I need help but i can’t afford to ask for it’ what a fucking position to be in. I hate the fucking world.

If Charities can’t be overtly political, how can Mental Health charities campaign against Austerity measures that have led to the deaths, homelessness or distress of hundreds of thousands of people with serious mental health issues?

[AdoptAMentalActivist @TimDunton2]

@DollyDollysen @wshed @ArnolfiniArts in Bristol #mentalhealth #filmfestival #mhff2020 an idea . Perhaps? @NSUNnews @Quinonostante @AkikoMHart

[Wendy Burn CBE @wendyburn]

People waste huge amounts of time completing risk assessments when actually they don’t help us to predict suicide. Totally agree. Maybe this time would be better spent listening to patients? #psychconf

The challenges facing social care can be navigated if ‘we retain a positive vision of social care as a solution, supporting people to live the lives they want and be actively involved in their communities and wider society,’ writes @blimeysimon https://t.co/n1wLfnhwxX

"Free, full fibre broadband is the electrification of the 21st Century.

We can do it." - Prof. David Hall.

[BRIL @BrilLiving]

#SocialCare & #SEND 
Both systems are being driven by the same ideology: Twist Disabled people's needs into what the 'eligibilty' focussed system will allow, pretend that needs have been met, hide unmet needs & damn the consequences.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Thank you to the 40 fire crews who tackled the #BoltonFire and the emergency services who treated people at the student accommodation.

If reports are correct and flammable cladding contributed to the fire, it shows the government's shameful inaction since Grenfell.
