This is why you should fight for the NHS.
To assume health insurance denial can't happen in the UK is delusional.
Farage wants it. Streeting is a liar and more private interests are seeping in under Labour

The @greenparty.org.uk oppose all forms of NHS privatisation.

Labour MP who was groomed asks colleagues to back judge-only trials Exclusive: Natalie Fleet says power balance is with criminals not victims as delays make ‘hell of being raped’ worse

Judge only trials:

✅Still deliver justice for accused,

✅Protect jury trails for cases that need them

✅Rebalance power between victims & criminals

We cannot continue with a system where hell of being raped is made worse by hell of the court system.

Highlight of the Olympics opening ceremony as J D Vance is booed when he appears on the screen.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Trump: "They emptied out, if you think about it, they emptied out all of their mental institutions into our country." (Trump doesn't understand the difference between insane asylums and political asylum claims.)

Reminder: The US has refused to join the International Criminal Court because it argues extraterritorial justice is incompatible with national sovereignty and citizen's rights.

Absolutely true.

What Americans need to understand is that Trump is betraying every one of the 250,000 US servicemen who fought and died for freedom against the Nazis in World War 2.

Every single one of them.

A great thread by my friend, the peerless @ruthdeyermond.bsky.social - a must #follow on foreign affairs.

As (intimidatingly) brilliant as always.

Being a science communicator means watching the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures but critiquing every demo...

A white British father and son BOTH raped the same child and pled guilty to multiple counts of Sexual assault.

This has been in the press for 2 days.

The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it…

And THAT’s why people have such a skewed perception of the links between race and SA🤷🏼‍♀️

Joe Lonsdale Calls For Public Hangings Silicon Valley radicalization escalates

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

Nicolas Guillou, French ICC judge sanctioned by the US: 'You are effectively blacklisted by much of the world's banking system' Six judges and three prosecutors at the International Criminal Court have been sanctioned by the Trump administration. In an interview with Le Monde, Guillou discusses the impact of these measures on ...

This story should be covered waaaaayy more than it is.

The US has sanctioned six judges if the international criminal court ICC, because Trump didn’t like them issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Obscene.

Pulp and Divine Comedy are both recording at or above the quality of their peak (the latter is less reunion as they never stopped)

Houchen’s deprivation failure exposed – official Middlesbrough remains the local authority with the highest proportion of most deprived neighbourhoods in England

◾ >9 years since Tees Valley voted for supposed benefits of Brexit

◾ >8 since Houchen was elected Mayor of Tees Valley

◾ >6 since Johnson promised to level up left-behind areas

...Middlesbrough remains the local authority with the highest proportion of most deprived neighbourhoods in England.

Headline: Lancashire’s Reform-run council plans to close care homes and day centres

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country.

Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned.

We cannot let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

the Teen Vogue politics section's last newsy story 🥲 Rainesford knocked it out of the park

She seems to be a bit of a racist. Most tories are responsible for all the refugees arriving in GB. They came out of EU hoping they would dissappear but they didn't anticipate all the problems they would bring.

Britain is not a country of racist bigots.

Time for the decent majority to "take back control".

Repost if you agree.

If this is what local journalists can find out, it’s quite embarrassing for the mainstream media considering they seem to just parrot Farage’s bullshit.

The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

It's not a grassroots working class movement.

"Wherever we looked for prominent flaggers and leaders of this movement, we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler."

Bet365 CEO Denise Coates paid herself £277,000,000 this year, and £410,000,000 in 2020.

This was more than 20,000x the Minimum Wage that she paid most of her workers.

The betting industry needs to be taxed, heavily.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."

I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

Does Robert Jenrick even realise English clubs were banned from playing in any European football competitions after May 1985 for the rest of the decade, returning only in 1990/91, after Heysel disaster, as UEFA + our government felt fans couldn't be policed safely travelling away?
