NHS private finance diverts money away from healthcare, towards the pockets of private shareholders.

Cat Eccles MP’s motion can force the government to drop their NHS private finance plans from the Autumn Budget.

✉️Take 2 mins now to email your MP to sign the motion and protect patients.

To assist the Covid Inquiry, I’m releasing extracts from my contemporaneous diary notes.

MAR 2020: Well this sucks.
MAY 2020: Boris Johnson, what a cunt.
JUNE 2020: Fuck I've got Covid.
JULY 2020: Rishi Sunak, what a cunt.
JUNE 2021: Matt Hancock, what a cunt.
DEC 2021 Onwards: What a shitshow.

The climate emergency will alter just about every aspect of our lives in ways I can attempt to predict and in others which I can't at present imagine. Small communities on the coast are already being hit but what happens when a city such as Peterborough might have to be abandoned? #r4today

Asked about opposition to yesterdays announcement Reed says all Lab MPs were elected on the same manifesto

Where in the manifesto did it say Lab would deport more kids, seize refugees property & increase the time before they can apply for permanent settlement from 5 to 20 years?

We’re about one cabinet meeting away from Shabana Mahmood authorising the Royal Navy to use migrant boats in the channel for target practice, and proudly telling us how much money it will save on our military training budget.

The line “vote for us or you’ll get the far right” doesn’t really work when the policies you’re enacting are barely distinguishable from what the far right propose.

Hey Labour

Remember the majority of voters who believe in treating people decently and not stealing from those who've endured months and years of hardship fleeing war and persecution to seek a place of safety?

We're still over here 👋

Vote Labour

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

What the fuck are we?

Nothing going on here that can’t be explained by “They are awful, terrible people who would all be back in PR and the law right now, had it not been for their media mates stomping their enemies for them then all but bodily throwing them into Number Ten”.

You are defining refugees as OTHER for the rest of their lives Ms Mahmood. That is nothing other than a far right policy.

Yet again we’re being warned that if we ask billionaires to pay their fair share of tax they might leave. So it’s definitely worth trying.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Yup, and Banks would have loathed Musk and everything he stands for.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

Electricity bills increased 163 per cent since 2008 as energy price cap rises - research - Insider Media New analysis of UK energy costs showed that the average annual household electricity bill increased by 163 per cent between 2008 and 2024, reflecting a steep rise in household energy costs…

UK electricity bills up 163% since 2008. Wages haven't.

6.1m households in fuel poverty, £4.43bn debt

Profiteering: Energy sector average profit margin 23%, grid sector 38%, gas extraction 58%.

Profit last year £30bn. 128,000 a year die in fuel poverty.

No govt checks profiteering.

Petition: No new PFI in Neighbourhood Health Services Wes Streeting: do not use a “Public Private Partnership” to finance Neighbourhood Health Centres

💰💰💰PFI cost us £80bn for just £13bn of actual investment in our NHS

🤯 And now the government want to use MORE private finance ?!?

❌ We say no to the private finance rip off. We're handing in this petition to the Treasury on the 18th November. Make sure your name is on it.

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system

1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK

2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc

3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

It is the 99% v the 1%

All the propaganda out there is to get all of us in the 99% to hate each other and to fight among each other so that we don't unite to defeat the 1%.

Never forget that!

Labour are all about "taking on unions" and never about "taking on capitalists"

Outrageous: Minister misleads the public about Scottish Water to hide the failure of privatisation in England

UK must reform drug pricing to become life sciences superpower, says GSK boss Shares jump on higher profits as Emma Walmsley is ‘hopeful’ standoff with NHS can be resolved

UK must reform drug pricing to become life sciences superpower, says GSK boss.

This is big pharma doublespeak. They want 25% hike in NHS drugs prices to boost their profits. Govt ready to capitulate.

People will pay higher taxes, or forego treatment.

Govt must manufacture generic drugs.
