Don't miss the point, Bernie. Medicare sucks too!

Having insurance does NOT equal having good healthcare.

Access
Continuity
Attention/time
Accountability

Make quality healthcare, and affordable DPC turns all the tables

Only fix Medicare too. Don’t just extend it. Break the insurance/healthco industrial complex.

Bernie, I worked as a nurse in your country in the early 90s. Never could understand the aversion people have to universal health care. Totally brainwashed population which ingnores the example of health care for all right next door. Nuts! Health Insurance companies are vultures.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have β€œthe worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this β€œdeal.”

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Without support, skilled jobs at Alexander Dennis in Falkirk would have been lost.

Today I have announced our Β£4m furlough scheme for Alexander Dennis, meaning workers can stay in their jobs as orders pick up again.

I said I would protect jobs and livelihoods - and I have done that today.

The hijacking of the Saltire by far right protestors in Aberdeen, Falkirk, etc., to imtimidate asylum seekers really needs to be strongly countered by @johnswinney.bsky.social @snp.org, *and* the rest of us. It belongs to all, and must be a symbol of welcome and inclusion.

'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay Β£44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner Last year Nigel Farage announced he had bought a house in Clacton, Essex, but in fact it was his partner Laure Ferrari, 46, who shelled out almost Β£900,000 for the property

"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has Β­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Why Nigel Farage’s β€˜fag packet’ migrant deportation plans don’t add up Nigel Farage claims he would deport 600,000 asylum seekers in the first term of a Reform government and ramp up detentions of those who come here illegally. But the numbers don’t quite add up, as…

Leaving the ECHR would unravel the Good Friday Agreement, destabilise devolution, and wreck our EU security deal. It would strip Britain of influence and safety. This reckless move must be stopped.

If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.

If you VOTE for a Conservative MP and he jumps ship to join Reform UK, you THEN have a racist Reform UK MP with a totally different perspective?

How does this work?
