Corporate capture of the state kills. Inquiry into the Grenfell fire found dishonesty, false claims about safety of building materials, regulatory collusion. 72 people died. No one prosecuted. Companies still get public contracts. Govts push deregulation. Working class lives don't matter do they

BREAKING: We’re taking the government to court over Palantir. The government is refusing to hand over important briefings given to Wes Streeting about the £330m NHS data contract with Peter Thiel’s surveillance firm So we’re taking legal action. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/breaking-w...

Jeez. Labour MP’s have just voted to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state. No protest movement has ever brought about change through one single march or action. How did it come to this?

I am so sick of seeing politicians weaponise NHS problems. The reason the NHS isn’t working well is because of what politicians have done. They then give soundbites to the media attacking staff and pointing fingers at healthcare workers. It’s grotesque.

We at @goodlawproject.org are optimistic: "We have killed the Code of Practice in its dreadful, original form. Thanks to our work that Code will never see the light of day. There is a whole new fight to come but we created a lot more room for manoeuvre than we thought was realistically possible..."

Oh, FGS - @politico.com is taking sponsorship money from Palantir - running their ads through news updates. That's absolutely the *last* thing we need in our politics, Palantir going straight for the political-media environment at a time when we need massive scrutiny of their contracts in the UK.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 (I'm NOT deleting my post below 👇)

Private firms got £12bn NHS contracts. Private equity, offshore tax haven firms big winners. Donations to Ministers pay dividends. £1.6bn profit in 2 yrs. Enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses Health service “taken for a ride”. Say NO to privatisation. Must expand NHS capacity

There are protests taking place across the country in the coming days and weeks in response to yesterday's Supreme Court ruling Drop me a message with any I'm missing and I will add details of each to the thread below:

Great Britain threw away 5GW of wind power during Storm Dave & replaced it using gas 🔥 That's one and a half Sizewell C-sized nuclear power stations, or four Dogger Bank A-sized wind farms. Or to put it another way, it's a shit load of power. Why throw it away? Because our straw isn't big enough…

Multinational asset manager BlackRock wants to work with the Greater Manchester Pension Fund to buy up NHS GP surgeries. Our NHS is not for sale - Cllr Eleanor Wills, leader of @tamesidecouncil.bsky.social (which runs GMPF) must drop this deal NOW. Sign the petition 👇

Imagine OFWAT giving Thames Water a hall pass to do it without fines until 2030. MADNESS!!! Why wouldn't other water companies want to be allowed to do the same? Ask your MP to sign on to this MPs' letter to Emma Reynolds, demanding she block this disastrous deal. vist.ly/4x36y

Do you think Robert Jenrick should have accepted this donation? 🚨

Are Starmer's despicable threats to doctors & our NHS related to him & Wes Streeting Labour's Health Secretary accepting bribes - whoop, sorry, donations - from healthcare privatisers, who want a health system where - millionaires get cured - well-off people go bankrupt - poor people die I wonder

Scotland has been a net exporter of cheap renewable power since 2021. The below graphic only makes sense if you also know that we have no control over energy pricing, which is decided by the British Government in England, over which we have no control.

Which MP received more than £220,000 in donations from people+organisations with links to the private health sector? 🚨🚨🚨

Simple fact is that the NHSScotland is better run and its staff better paid than the NHS in England or Labour-run Wales. Sure, our NHS could be better, but the way to achieve that is NOT to vote for parties that are making a mess of it in England & Wales. indyposterboy.scot/best-nhs/

Oh, dear. It's very depressing how so many otherwise smart people still don't seem to realise that the better the SNP does in the constituency vote, the more unlikely it is they will win *any* list seats at all. In which case all those 100s of 1,000s of SNP2 votes are wasted. 😳 #SNP1SGP2

The Government is considering scrapping the NHS-Palantir deal. Do you want Palantir out of the NHS? RT if you do. #PalantirOUT

The Tories and Labour's free zones represent a new kind of corporate sovereign power, one that clears space for capital while dressing the project in the language of progress. And most people don't even know free zones exist right on their doorstep. europeanpowell.substack.com/p/second-emp...

It’s essential we return a progressive SNP government on 7 May. 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲. Give your first vote to the SNP and your second vote to the Greens to maximise the pro-independence majority, reduce Westminster Party influence and protect Scotland’s future. 𝗦𝗡𝗣 1 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗡𝗦 2

The slippery slope. Privatise the local facilities, easy then to start on the bigger things - and you'll be paying the cost of the private interest.

The boss of Severn Water pocketed £3 million last year - while sewage was being pumped into the Severn. People are standing up and demanding change. Public ownership NOW. vist.ly/4vz9c

@talking-upscotland.bsky.social - have you seen this? Another good news story for the Scottish NHS ignored by the media in Scotland.

Even Scotland's richest back higher taxes on the wealthy, poll finds www.thenational.scot/news/2596502...

Something amazing is happening!! We are fed up of NHS patients and staff being pitted against each other. If you open up the newspapers, you’d probably think that the problems in the NHS are caused by the staff - as if they’re not working hard enough, or as if GPs don’t want

How can there be ‘home care facing catastrophic breakdown’ in a system which actually increased the number of places available last year? talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/03/23/h...

In 2016 the SNP's 956k+ list votes got them just *4* additional MSPs, whilst Labour & Tories *combined* votes - only 4k more - got them *45*. If those 'wasted' SNP votes had gone to Scottish Greens instead I wonder how many more pro-indy MSPs there would have been. #SNP1SGP2 #Holyrood26 #Scotland

Nigel Farage and Reform are coming for gay marriage. Another reason not to vote for them.

80% of Keir Starmer’s 250 new NHS neighbourhood health centres will involve private partnerships. Why are none of the newspapers talking about this? 🚨

This is why Wes Streeting's promises that the NHS data he is giving Palantir won't be misused are utterly meaningless. Even Palantir says so.👇🏻

Thames Water: Private equity floats new £10bn rescue plan. PE has already devoured TW and other water companies, now want more. Customer bills will rise, dividends will be paid, sewage will be dumped, asset will be stripped, taxes will be dodged. Only public ownership can help customers.

Did you know private equity is moving into the NHS? Debt rises, quality falls, and shareholders profit. We need your help to fund the research exposing this. We’re on a mission to reach £12,000, let’s shine a light on the reality of NHS profiteering: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/whos-makin...

On ITV news, an unusual admission by London media that the Scottish NHS 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is by far the best NHS service in the UK and Labour run Wales is the worst. This would never be reported by the BBC or BBC Scotland. We are being lied to daily by the media and the Unionist parties in Scotland and the UK.

Iran is trolling Trump again. Hard. This is what happens when global politics becomes reality TV.

The damage being done to NHS as staff stuck in limbo by the Health secretary's half baked and destructive reorganisation will cost the NHS permanently.

Joining the single market would eliminate trade barriers for most goods and services, control consumer prices, and allow capital, goods and people to move freely. Last week, European Movement UK launched our petition calling on the UK Government to join the single market: link below.

The #SNP are polling for zero list seats. SNP list votes will be wasted. Counterproductive even, as that lets in unionists. You get more pro-indy MSPs by voting as follows: #SNP1SGP2 or #SNP1Greens2 NOT #BothVotesSNP All regions. FPTP Proviso: If the Scot Greens are polling to win, vote SGP1.
