I'm for Liberty, Stop the War and all things progressive. I'm fascinated by science generally, maybe even more than by politics, if that's possible. Please, no DMs, I cannot reply.

Haunting words from Dr Susie who we spoke to earlier:

"A huge number are leaving. Conditions [in NZ/Oz] are better because their system isn't as crumbling as ours, but if they make a life there - why would they come back?"

Stand with your Resident Doctors. You'll miss them when they're gone.

🚨 Breaking: Our latest investigation reveals that Labour’s move to bring the PFI-style model back has followed intense lobbying from companies that operate PFI contracts + from major construction firms.

The fall of the US as a democracy should be regularly reported on in the UK. But most of the British media is refusing to show you things like this because it might scare people away from Reform UK (who will attempt to do the same things).

Sudan: Reported Massacre At Hospital in Sudan's El Fasher Leaves 460 Dead Horrific stories of mass-atrocities committed by the RSF militia continue to emerge, along with the tens of thousands of civilians who have fled the North Darfur city of El Fasher in Sudan.

'"No child is safe," said UNICEF chief Catherine Russell. "While the full scale of the impact remains unclear... estimated 130,000 children in El Fasher are at a high risk of grave rights violations, with reports of abduction, killing & maiming, and sexual violence."'

It's not quite fascism - but Labour is giving the UK to corporations and authoritarians Grace Blakeley reckons the UK’s Labour government is trying to β€œwoo big business”; it would be more accurate to say the plan is to hand the country over to corporations - lock, stock and barrel.

Before bed, consider this: public money flows to private profit, independent oversight is hollowed out, and dissent is stifled. Labour isn’t quite fascist β€” but it’s dangerously close.

Everytime you go in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons etc, 5% of the money you spend goes straight to their profits.

Before 2022 it was 1.25%.

But free breakfasts for schoolchildren is what is ripping you off?

They really think you are stupid.

Don't be.

I am, and note Tories and Starmer have decided not to 'stop the boats' by making safe and legal routes.

We might conclude that those who undertake dangerous crossings would not risk their lives if such options existed.

Our obsession with 'migrants' is misplaced; our own actions create the crisis.

Deporting migrants who are ineligible for asylum is less of an issue than providing safe routes for asylum seekers and then processing them fairly. Anything else colludes in the illegal traffic via a dangerous sea crossing.

We must act now: without a written constitution, Reform UK will have carte blanche to toxify our nation | Goerge Monbiot It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

We're facing a political emergency: a high likelihood of an shamelessly authoritarian government in 2029. So we urgently need this basic safeguard: a codified constitution.
This week's column explains what we're missing and why it's so important.

While most of us worry about bills, the BBC worries about how to β€œdefend” taxing billionaires. That tells you everything.
