"The richest 10% is responsible for almost half of our carbon pollution. But even more shocking? When you look at just the richest 1%, they're responsible for more pollution than half of Americans. That's about 65 million households." h/t @cityatlas.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgA0...

Private equity takeover of US hospitals led to rise in patient deaths. Cuts to staffing/investment; high debt, profiteering; worse patient outcomes. More deaths in nursing homes, increased post-operative complications Why is UK Govt handing the NHS to PE? Why no investigation of the impact of PE?

Whilst I’ve never liked the tories I’d have to say that not all of them were at least in their own minds not a bunch of unpleasant crooks. Now however I can’t think of any that remain that I’d say that of.

As renewables overtake coal as the world's largest source of electricity, what did we get from the Tory conference? - repeal the Climate Change Act - scrap 2050 net-zero target - remove renewable energy subsidies - maximise oil and gas extraction from the North Sea They are so out of touch!

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Keir Starmer's currently sat looking at some papers, the buzzing in his head is getting louder. Saying "Stop Making Mistakes" over and over as he ponders whether it was a good idea to bet the entire UK economy on magic beans.

Tories love segregation when it suits them. Private + public schools, elite universities (sic), private institutions and clubs, expensive gated communities. They’re not interested in integration for any other reason than the dilution of cultures other than theirs, which they protect fiercely #c4news

David is slightly unfair. There is a clear difference here. Conservatives and Reform plan to forcibly expel large numbers of people who are legal, permanent residents of migrant origin. The BNP proposal is voluntary.

The more rational tories are probably desperate for Penny Mordant to find a seat to stop Jenrick from becoming leader

So very true 👇🏼

Jenrick says, Handsworth the area I went to school in isn’t integrated as he didn’t see a white face and the closest he has seen to a slum? So is he saying we should pay minorities much more for their low paid jobs and welcome them to The Cotswolds with their mosques and temples???

The UK Government a brand refresh for GOV.UK Total cost of this rebrand is reported to be £532,000. I know more will have been involved but when folk have fuel poverty, food poverty, couldn’t the money have been better spent elsewhere???

Workers could be charged a fee to take their bosses to court under plans being explored by Labour as it faces pressure from businesses lobbying to water down its landmark changes to employment rights. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/o...

Average real wage of UK workers is stuck the 2008 level. Some bosses are collecting 1,112 times more than the average employee wage. Millions forced to rely on food banks and charity. Workers have no say in income distribution. Govts do nothing. Can't build economy/society on huge inequalities.
