Private equity takeover of hospitals led to rise in Medicare emergency patient deaths, says study Study found seven more deaths per 10,000 patients in private equity hospitals’ versus non-private equity hospitals

Private equity takeover of US hospitals led to rise in patient deaths.

Cuts to staffing/investment; high debt, profiteering; worse patient outcomes.

More deaths in nursing homes, increased post-operative complications

Why is UK Govt handing the NHS to PE? Why no investigation of the impact of PE?

🤯 Simply staggering mismanagement & incompetence at
@bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social
1 The council declares itself effectively bankrupt due to equal pay liabilities of between £650m & £760m
2 They snatch £8k a year from bin workers
3 They finally settle their equal pay claims for £250m
So...🧵

Absolutely terrifying - the government is leaving communities utterly exposed to the effects of the climate emergency. We urgently need a plan with binding targets for how this govt will protect us as extreme heat and flooding worsen in the years ahead.

I'd very much like an answer to this question, and I'd like it to be 'yes'. After years of austerity and trying to stay in power through culture war 🐂💩 instead of doing right by the people they're responsible for, the Conservative Party very much deserves to be relegated to 3rd party status

Our planet has crossed a critical climate threshold. Coral reefs are disappearing, and the risks to our ecosystems and communities grow every day. Rapid, decisive action is essential - delays cost lives and livelihoods. We can’t afford to wait. #ClimateEmergency #ActNow

Labour aren't centre-left. They're a right wing party with a few social democrats who can't let go, and a blatant lie on the back of the membership card: Labour is neither democratic nor socialist

"Covering a war means going to places torn by chaos, destruction and death... It means trying to find the truth in a sandstorm of propaganda" - the late Marie Colvin.

Truth is the cornerstone of justice. Without it we can't start to hold those responsible to account. Let journalists into Gaza.

EHRC withdraws interim guidance encouraging trans exclusion After six months of confusion and delay, the EHRC has taken down interim guidance rushed out in April. But the damage has already been done.

"The EHRC’s exclusionary interim guidance has had a devastating impact on trans people’s lives"

“Now the guidance has been withdrawn, so should the exclusionary policies that organisations rashly implemented in its aftermath. If not, they could find themselves in hot water.”

The Rafah crossing is expected to re-open.

Alongside the desperately needed aid, journalists must be allowed into Gaza.

Over 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza - but the crimes of the Israeli government and military must not go undocumented.

Let the journalists in.

More evidence that the #climate emergency affects *everything* - it should be front & centre of ALL government decisions. As well as serious adaptation (petition here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7300…) Govt must urgently stop making things worse eg greenlighting high carbon airport expansion
