Billionaires should not own social media platforms.

Billionaires should not run our newspapers.

Billionaires should not control our politics.

A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS - yet one fifth of the health service budget goes to it Numerous studies have found private equity is associated with worse patient outcomes due to NHS privatisation - and 'preventable deaths'

Oh, and this:

The private sector already receives 20% of NHS funding, whilst only helping 10% of NHS patients.

The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously.

In other news, here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about ยฃ60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases

Despite what politicians say, in my experience NHS patients arenโ€™t bothered about โ€˜choosing their healthcare providerโ€™. They just want their local NHS hospital to function properly. But guess who loves it? Private companies seeking to infiltrate the NHS๐Ÿšจ

UK government scraps plan to ban sale of gas boilers by 2035 โ€˜Future homes standardโ€™ will not mandate replacing boilers with environmentally friendly alternative

Ed Miliband promised a "rooftop revolution." It seems to have stalled even before the barricades.

Sadiq Khan promised a "retrofit revolution* but now says he needs government permission.

We need less noise & actual action to tackle climate crisis.

Biden plans $8bn arms sale to Israel Last-minute show of support for US presidentโ€™s close ally as he nears his final days in office

Instead of using the last days of his presidency to call for peace, Joe Biden has poured more money into arming Israelโ€™s destruction of Gaza.

A shameful indictment of his administration and its complicity in genocide.

Jimmy Carter will be laid to rest not in Arlington, but beside his wife, Rosalynn Carter, at their residence in Plains, Georgia.

Of course, he will be. That is the man he was. No one expected anything less.

Here is a message from a man whose honesty and integrity prevented him from becoming the PM this country needed
Jeremy Corbyn

The next National Demonstration for Palestine is on 18th January 2025, days before Donald Trump is inaugurated. Please join me and thousands of others in London if you can!

Not sure I can stomach any more conversations going something like:

'Centrist': "Why don't you support Keir Starmer? He's so much better than the Tories."

Me: "He's literally arming a genocidal regime."

'Centrist': "Yeah, that is really bad, but..."

If you are ordering the evacuation of life saving hospitals, you are clearly in the wrong.

Who left in the world doesn't see this genocide for what it is?

So why on earth are the UK, US and so many others still supporting genocide? It is illegal and immoral. Not in my name.

Anyone think Starmer is a Farage enabler ? In my mind it was obvious from the moment he gifted him a seat after getting the popular Labour candidate to stand down plus the way he has alienated almost everyone since reinforces that thought

Today two of the State of Israel's most high-profile UK assets โ€” Luciana Berger and Mike Katz were placed in the House of Lords after multiple rejections by the electorate.

It is deeply alarming that Jewish supremacists can decide who should make laws in the so called โ€˜Sovereignโ€™ Britain.

Please spare a thought for us mainstream journalists who are very confused about the terrorist in Germany. After hearing he is a Zionist, we have no idea if weโ€™re supposed to support or condemn him x

UK PM Starmer says he can't think of anything he should have done differently.

Hmm ...

Two-child benefit cap
Winter fuel payment cut
Sticking to Tory tax hikes
PFI 2.0
Banking deregulation
Energy profiteering
Public ownership of water
Compensating 1950s women
Funding foreign wars

11 months ago Keir Starmer was asked about Mandelsons relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and he said he didn't know. Do you think he's bothered to find out?

Ask yourselves why the Tories are not mentioning Labour's continuation of their 74 SEZs and 12 Freeports experiment in corporate governance.
The privatisation of the UK was always a uniparty project
