This is Nigel Farage on video saying the UK will need insurance-based healthcare. Those are his words, not mine.
Insurance healthcare means paying when you get sick. Serious illness comes with serious bills. For many people that means real financial risk on top of rent food energy and council tax.

Telegraph - Girls targeted in mixed changing rooms
FOI police request shows women also at risk of sexual assault and mobile phone voyeurism at pools
The Daily Telegraph10 Dec 2025By Daniel Martin DEPUTY POLITICAL EDITOR
Women and girls are being sexually assaulted in mixed changing rooms across the country. Police data show at least 16 rapes, 80 sexual assaults and 65 acts of voyeurism were committed in sports centres in 2023, equating to three offences a week. Many of the offences were in mixed-sex changing areas, according to a report by the Womenโ€™s Rights Network. Campaigners warned that mixed-sex changing areas were a โ€œmagnet for sexual predatorsโ€.

Quoted here we have Sharron Davies talking about an FoI filed by the Women's Rights Network.

None of the people who committed these crimes were trans. Not one.

4.8% were cis male staff.

Email the Chancellor: restore housing benefit to match the cost of rent | Crisis UK Rachel Reeves must use the Autumn budget to unfreeze housing benefit. Take action now.

Housing benefit no longer covers the true cost of private rent โ€“ and itโ€™s forcing people into poverty, ill health and homelessness. Thatโ€™s plain wrong.

NHS could pay 25% more for medicines under plan to end row with drugmakers and Trump UK ministers preparing to raise payments to end standoff with pharma industry, cited as reason for firms axing British investments

๐Ÿšจ Outrageous: the UK govt is reportedly ready to make the #NHS pay 25% more for medicines - caving to pressure from Trump and Big Pharma.

Every extra pound handed to drug company bosses is a pound stolen from patient care.

Starmer should have done more to tackle rise of Reform, Green Party leader claims Zack Polanski is using Labourโ€™s conference to make the case for the Green Party

I love that Zack Polanski just rolled up to the Labour conference to talk to people outside.

Although, I think it would be even funnier if Keir Starmer tries to retaliate by doing the same at the Green conference. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

1. I've long contended that austerity doesn't save money. It merely transfers costs from one group (the very rich, who would otherwise pay more tax) to others. Last night was a powerful reminder of that. Before I go further, I should say Iโ€™m fine. Just a black eye, cuts & bruises, no serious harm. ๐Ÿงต

Quarter of UK university physics departments at risk of closing, survey finds Four out of five making staff cuts as physicists say findings are โ€˜great concernโ€™ for UKโ€™s leadership in important areas

Quarter of UK university physics departments at risk of closing.

Consequence of policies of successive govts, real cut in university income, hard to recruit foreign students.

Science subjects cut as they require heavy investment. Skills shortages will deepen.

The National. UK Government urged to introduce cost controls on rising food prices.

7.5 million people in the UK already live in food poverty, and food prices are spiralling with inflation.

Price protections can help ensure people are able to feed their families. The UK government must work with supermarkets to ensure prices are affordable.
