England’s social care system is at ‘breaking point’, government warned The number of unpaid carers increasing by 70 per cent over the past two decades, a report revealed

England’s social care at “breaking point”. Relies on 1.9m unpaid carers, shabbily treated.

New requests for support up from 1.8m in 2015/16 to 2.1m in 2023/24, mainly from working age adults. England becoming sicker.

Profiteering at care homes, local councils struggling

'This is one step towards honouring Palestinian demands.'

Why are none of the newspapers writing about how unsafe it could be to axe half of NHS England’s staff, at a time when the NHS is in permacrisis? NHS England joins up over 44000 healthcare IT systems across 26000 organisations. It’s tasked with monitoring …

I’m confident that all the allocated season tickets will go.

I’m a new season ticket holder. Got mine today. I was on the list for about 5 years. There will be more today I expect along with friends and family who hung on.

In case you’re not sure why the NHS isn’t working any more, it’s because the service is being slowly dismantled by politicians who are turning it into a cash cow for private companies, starving it of resource so it doesn’t work properly, and enabling the private sector to expand rapidly 🚨

Translation: “I want a dynamic country that funnels your tax dollars to my rich friends.”

NHS England to cut workforce by half as Streeting restructures The health secretary will shrink NHS England’s workforce to save money and avoid ‘duplication’

Can anyone please explain to me how giving politicians with no healthcare experience more control over NHS England while cutting half the jobs is going to help the NHS, when the service is in tatters because of other politicians with no healthcare experience? 🚨

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Can't end England's social care crisis without ending privatisation.

2011-2023: 804 out of 816 homes closed by regulator were for-profit homes.

30%-40% of public money vanishes in profits.

Low staffing/wages, lack of investment, regulation/safety breaches, poor care.

The Tories were so concerned about an enquiry into historic child abuse by grooming gangs, they did nothing to start or a facilitate an enquiry over the last 14 years. Claiming to care about abused children now, is nothing more than a political stunt.

Then and now. . .

Emergency departments: 'We're at breaking point,' says NI doctor Dr Clodagh Corrigan, who works in emergency departments, says this winter the pressure has not let off.

NHS staff are under unbelievable pressure. Millions of patients cannot access the care they need in a timely manner. Please support EveryDoctor’s campaign to push for change. We’ll do everything we can to advocate for patients +staff 🚨💙

Fight back against fascism: how big money is threatening democracy Fascism thrives when democracy falters. From funding Reform to vigilance, here’s how we protect our future

All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations

So eloquently put.

Israel accusing Ireland of “crossing every red line” is perverse.

The government shouldn’t pin all of its hopes for economic growth on the finance industry Such a strategy was tried in 1970s and came to grief in the mid-1970s secondary banking crash.

Neoliberals have hollowed out the UK economy.

Insecurity follows. UK imports

40.8% of energy

“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs, whatever.”

Crazy, isn’t it?

This.

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath
