Cutting off a country’s fuel and threatening anyone who helps is economic coercion & it’s ordinary Cubans who endure the blackouts, empty shelves, and hospital shortages. Civilians should never be collateral damage in political and military power plays. buff.ly/JmRkq6i

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.
Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

The healthcare sector is caught in a climate paradox: it is under increasing pressure from the impact of climate change on people’s health, yet it emitted nearly twice as much CO2 as aviation in 2020. Two Catalan hospitals are trying to change things.

The new law to safeguard our democracy does little to address a longstanding and ever-present threat.
As the new elections bill is published, @stevejgoodrich.bsky.social argues that more must be done to tackle the influence of money in politics.

🤯60% of Wes Streeting's donors are from private health.
Good to see your texts with Mandelson. The public also has a right to know if health policy is being driven by unaccountable lobbying
Wes Streeting, release your messages with private healthcare. weownit.org.uk/news/wes-str...

Peer ‘disappointed’ that DWP review of subpostmaster prosecutions is still months away.
Little people don't count, do they. What if they were wealthy donors?
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Please read the linked article and write to the Minister.
Just read the latest from @TaxJusticeUK. I think they're spot on. The Mandelson scandal is about more than bad decisions - it's about the sickness of elite influence infecting our democracy. taxjustice.uk/blog/behind-...

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.
Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.
Tell Keir Starmer to change this.
