If you're in England and want to observe the potential effects of insurance or privately funded healthcare, take a look at the state of dentistry.

Almost all dentists operate privately, and the cost of treatment is exorbitant.

Running healthcare as a business will inevitably lead to higher prices.

The photo looks like trump is saying “ help , I am trapped in the car….. what am I doing again?”

A screenshot of Brian's letter, which reads: Polly Toynbee demonstrates conclusively how much self-inflicted economic damage the UK is suffering from Brexit. She could also have mentioned the critical loss of investment from the EU’s long-term financing bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB). During the UK’s EU membership, the EIB invested some £150bn in mainly infrastructure projects in the UK, representing actual investment of two to three times that amount, taking account of the EIB’s ability to attract other long-term co-financers. This key stream of investment and growth ceased with Brexit, and the successor regional investment banks established by the government have not come remotely near to replacing the EIB’s level of finance. If, as Toynbee urges, the government were bold enough to face down the Brexiters, there would be at least an opportunity to renegotiate access to EIB finance. No other source of significant investment is in prospect.

Brian Unwin, former President of the European Investment Bank, highlights the eye-watering levels of long-term financing we've lost because of Brexit in his letter to The Guardian. 📝

This is fascism
Plain and simple
And it is not far from Nazism

I can’t find the organic Heinz ones anymore either

Criminals helping criminals and the fragile egos of current world leaders have caused these dangerous times ❤️

Like Tibetans asking for Chinas help?

An article by a disturbed person, that can’t tell the difference between a feeling and her reality.

Couldn’t be more sick of this toxic Tory/rightwing/Reform “philosophising” about race and identity.
Who the fuck do these people think they are?
What made them arbiters of what it is to be English/British?
These rancid, racist inadequates do not get to dictate our identities.

Yes. America will have to live with the shame. As will every single British politician who has championed Trump and Musk, and who is prepared to lie and excuse them even now. What an unforgivable betrayal by all of them.

And every speech runs down Britain claiming we are in the hands of some cabal and have no free speech

The son of a Russian KGB operative is ok to speak and vote in the HOL , but the son of a Hamas operative is not allowed to give his view of an unequal war that has lead to a genocide

And yet he still thinks his opinions worth sharing🤣

Why is Spain’s economy booming? Thanks to migration – which proves xenophobia doesn’t pay | María Ramírez With Spanish GDP growth leading Europe last year, diversity is making us richer – not only financially but culturally, too, says journalist María Ramírez

Spain's economy is booming - thanks to immigration.

Ideological rigidity against foreign-born workers isn’t just xenophobic, it’s economically shortsighted.

Why such a high wage for essentially being a lap dog of the water companies is beyond me. Who, in any other job, gets paid for only doing half of their Job. I understand they represent the water companies, but fail to see when they have helped the paying public

I agree. The children of immigrants feel themselves to be truly of their birth nation. Their skin tone might indicate their heritage but not their nationality

Me too Tom. Is there a cure?

Extract from article; Labour sources questioned the motivation for the claims against Reeves, pointing out that no concerns had been raised against her at the time or in subsequent years. "You have to question why this has come out now and why someone might want to try and discredit her now she is chancellor," they said.

Not just “Labour sources” asking this, Times. Pretty much every decent-minded person out there wonders why the hell the right thinks these relentless misogynistic attacks on Labour politicians are acceptable. Particularly when you hand out free passes like smarties to the utterly corrupt Tory party.

The telegraph has never spoken for me or anyone I know. So when they say “ the will of the people”, who exactly are they talking about? The last time I looked , Brexit was the will of the people, look where that got us

He is all that the right wing newspaper owners have left. And as you notice, they won’t have a bad word said about him. They also are keen to print false statistics about his rising popularity. If his numbers were true, I would know someone personally who voted for him. I don’t.

They simply light the blue touch paper and run. Despicable human beings who never take any responsibility for their own actions. This is public schoolboy behaviour, not worthy of any parliamentarians.

Whilst Farage is the mouth piece of their campaign, the U.K. public will find it hard to listen to farmers. He has nothing to do with their cause other than being as rich as they are. The whole country pays tax. Ordinary Workers pay proportionately more than farmers. This should be a fairer society
