What TF is going on with the English? Not enough that weโve had 14years of sadistic Tories? You now want racist half wit pretend Tories in charge?

Asking rich foreigners to pay the same tax as everyone else is not "forcing" them to leave.

We are a fiat economy, cuts will simply slow economic activity and impoverish millions of people already struggling. This whole 'household budget' gaslighting is Thatchers legacy.

I have more than 410k followers on X and fewer than 63k on BlueSky.
Yet the same tweet about Russian money supporting the Far Right in Britain has been shared fewer than 100 times on X and more than 1,300 on BlueSky.
That's how much of a propaganda tool X has become.

And England always gets to choose who rules in Westminster.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

GPs are often blamed for the problems of the NHS
Reality is somewhat different, since 2019 GPs have been providing 5million MORE appts per month (31million) with 20% less ยฃ/patient
For context
A&E has 2.2m attendances โฌ๏ธ200k
Out-Patients 8.7m
Ambulance calls 750k (no change)
#Medsky #NHS
Unregulated expansion of PA/AA roles has taken place under the direct leadership of NHS England, having done so despite clear warnings from HEE that this would be detrimental to patient care
New โregulationโ by GMC is just a register with no clear scope of practice or clarity
The evidence is clear
Such wise words ๐
