If you're struggling to think of what to get someone for Christmas, get them a fridge and watch their face light up when they open it.

How Private Equity Captured the US Ambulance Market. PE controls vehicle manufacturing, prices raised, profiteering. Higher cost of emergency services. In UK, PE controls water, dentistry, vets, care homes, child fostering, hospitals. What next? Capitalism worships profit, devoid of humanity.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Look, the collective UK cock is too deep in the apple pie. If we pull out now we might look stupid.

THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!! Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer, Peter Mandelson....you boys took a HELL of a beating tonight. @greenpartyhan.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social This is just the beginning.

Reform is just the Tory party ‘reformed’ to be even more extreme and less responsive to the public good.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped. Yet the Representation of the People Bill won’t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented. Tell Keir Starmer to change this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

If the royal family is such a boon for the nation's coffers, imagine how great it would be for the economy if everybody else got given a few palaces and didn't have to work or pay normal tax.

😡 The Government wants to ban repeated protests & jail those who defy them. Stand up for our democratic right to protest - sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

I don't want the UK to be ready for war, I want us to have functioning hospitals. I don't want the UK to be ready for war, I want us to have well funded schools. I don't want the UK to be ready for war, I want us to have an effective and compassionate welfare system.

Private shareholders made dividends of £3.6 billion from owning our trains in the last decade. Yet the government is leaving our trains fully privately owned. Sign We Own It's petition to demand they take our trains into public ownership: weownit.org.uk/act-now/take...

A narrative is recited almost everywhere: that Rachel Reeves is being "forced" to cut benefits, and is faced with "hard choices" or "no choice". This story, a staple of neoliberal doctrine, is completely false, as @richardjmurphy.bsky.social explains: www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

How is it possible that the wealth of the super-rich has exploded, but we're facing billions in austerity cuts? How have banks, energy companies, and oil and gas made record profits while foodbank use has reached 3.1 million? We need to tax the rich.

Liz Kendall says young people will be pushed to join the army to cut youth unemployment. Then when they get injured or wounded Kendall will deny them sickness and disability benefits. www.reddit.com/r/unitedking...

Labour should at least consider fighting poverty instead of fighting the poor

In case you’re not sure why the NHS isn’t working any more, it’s because the service is being slowly dismantled by politicians who are turning it into a cash cow for private companies, starving it of resource so it doesn’t work properly, and enabling the private sector to expand rapidly 🚨

If “socialism never works” then why does the USA and the capitalists spend billions to stop Marxism, and assassinate leaders, install puppet dictarships for the rich and then spend more billions every decade to push capitalist propaganda to say “socialism doesn’t work”? Why not just let it fail?

Watch as mega company PEEL Group are given astronomical sums of public money to enhance its competitiveness in the Liverpool SEZ and Freeport which is 45km in diameter. This is exactly what I have been warning about for years. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo... Thread

Private finance was a disaster under Blair. New PFI contracts were actually banned by the Conservatives in 2018. 🔧 NHS repairs backlog = £13.8bn 💸 Amount still owed to PFI = £44bn Now Wes Streeting wants more PFI in our #NHS. 🤯 Sign our petition ✍️ tinyurl.com/3b6bjnzc

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Health Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way. Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...

Sir Keir Starmer says he will be 'ruthless' at cutting public spending: www.dumptheguardian.com/society/2025... Here's what the Cambridge dictionary says about that:

We have only 2.4 hospital beds per 1000 people, compared to 7.8 in Germany, 5.8 in France & an OECD average of 5.0. We also have 1 in 8 beds occupied by medically fit patients needing social care - an issue that Labour won’t definitively address until 2028 at the earliest. Simply disastrous. (2/2)
