Lord SouthToNorth

He is… coming soon Selling off of NHS contracts to USA private health companies makes him feel uncomfortable … but it’s the right thing to do … diabolical individual from a diabolical guise of the Labour Party … Labour will be on the same heap as the Tories by the end of their their term 👎🏼🤮

Phew!

Listening to Steve Reed explain on the radio today that he can't say what Mahmood's plan means for kids of people who give birth after they've been granted asylum because that's a hypothetical Q govt can't be expected to answer right now made me think these reforms are going to unravel quite fast

Labour are as irrelevant as the Tories … they literally cannot read the room …

These are the voters that Labour strategists have made very clear over a long period of time that they don't want any more, and it's a message that has now been heard

As Labour tear themselves apart trying to play to Yaxley-Lennon & Farage’s racism tune the U.K. #greenparty youth membership grows … Labour are heading for the same bin as the Tories …https://fb.watch/DrUSo9tzYg/?

“They went for pensioners, they went for the disabled, and now they’re going for people fleeing war and conflict. I am furious — this government should hang their heads in shame.”

National Insurance Dodge

UK employers pay national insurance on employee/director wages.

That doesn't apply to profits (instead of wages) extracted by partners in partnerships.

Billions dodged. I asked the Minister whether that policy was wrong.

Watch how he dodges the question.

Government’s last chance to keep control of digital Digital sovereignty isn’t optional anymore. We sold our water to foreign billionaires. Now we’re handing them our health data

Shabana Mahmood and the Politics of Extortion Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket and it is not going to work

Shabana Mahmood on the BBC this morning talking about desperate people fleeing war and persecution as being given a "golden ticket" and "handouts" and saying she's got a "moral mission" to take them away from them

What next as Donald Trump says he will take legal action against the BBC Anyone who thought an apology to Donald Trump was going to stop his threat of a lawsuit was deluded, writes Culture and Media Editor Katie Razzall.

No Wes Streeting, the BMA is not acting like a cartel. It’s acting like a trade union. And frankly it’s disgusting to hear you talk like this while huge numbers of doctors can’t get NHS jobs because you haven’t created them, while millions of patients are on waiting lists🚨🚨🚨

Local areas can lead the way on protecting nature, making lives better and securing a safe future for all of us - but they need government to stop starving them of funds.

@carladenyer.bsky.social led the way with her Climate Emergency declaration. Now time for the Government to step up.

Universal Credit allows bosses to get away with paying wages that are too low to live on. Don't stigmatise the millions of hard-working people who depend on it as 'lazy'.

Yes it’s a gift from successive govts to the billionaire & millionaire business owners … it’s why we see such a reluctance to ‘Tax The Rich!’ Labour, Tories, Lib Dem, Reform all serve the very wealthy not the 99% …

The scramble to attack the #greenparty … 👇

when large chunks or energy bills are profits/dividends to shareholders & Weekly groceries also feature heavily in our struggle to ‘make ends meet’ in a ‘cost of living crisis; meanwhile supermarkets make ‘record profits’ … can nobody see that it’s millionaire owners that are causing the ‘crisis’🤔

The UK Corporate Coup - What They’re Not Telling You I’ve spent several years researching UK Freeports and “free zones.” What I found is the largest transfer of sovereignty from democratic institutions to private corporations in British history.
