The PFI disaster Wes Streeting readies more of the NHS for privatisation. Hands £6m to advisers. NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to private equity and corporations. Profits guaranteed. Money will buy less. Higher taxes, lower value. Say NO to privatisation of the NHS.

Statement from AsIAm in response to Autism misinformation by the US Government.

I'm really frustrated it's necessary to say this, but it's essential people hear it! "Taking paracetamol during pregnancy remains safe." "There is no evidence taking it during pregnancy causes autism in children." "Paracetamol remains the recommended pain relief option for pregnant women." 1/2

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

Their daughter, Gladys, later married a descendant of French Huguenots called Harry Farage... and Gladys and Harry are the grandparents of this man. Maybe someone should ask him who of his ancestors he'd have liked to deport. 3/3

Thing is, while Ed Davey has unusual ways of creating publicity, the Lib Dem’s policies typically have substance and are workable. Meanwhile, Reform is often treated as credible despite its policy agenda being two elephants short of a circus. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

September is PCOS Awareness Month. 1 in 8 women in the UK live with PCOS - however many remain undiagnosed, their symptoms ignored. That's why this month it's important to shine a spotlight on the symptoms and risks of PCOS and push for greater awareness.

It’s almost Friday! Here is a reminder from the @nlgnews.bsky.social to SHUT THE F*CK Up!

THE SHOCKING IPP SCANDAL is one of the most cruel, inhumane and monumental injustices of the past half-century. So why has this government allowed it to continue? youtu.be/HVOWDnYBzDI?...

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

UK could raise £2bn by taxing SUVs in line with European countries. Why do so many people want giant SUVs? They damage roads, create more pollution, cause more serious injuries and take up bigger parking spaces. UK buyers pay 20 times less tax than in other European countries. Tax them.

In London, hate will never win.

"We’ve got to the point where the burden of ill health caused by #AirPollution is so huge, I’m asking myself: ‘What will it take to make the public demand more action?’." Well said @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social. Such a powerful read about the rise of #LungCancer in non-smoking, healthy young women.

"If you hold to those liberal beliefs which actually have made our country great, I think that's true patriotism." @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk

Written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital, London after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.

Britain's democracy is in crisis. Our First Past the Post voting system increasingly delivers results that have little to do with what the country wants. This #DemocracyDay, I'm calling for a fair system where every vote counts. It's time for Proportional Representation. #PRnow

Today marks International #DemocracyDay. Democracy matters - and it cannot be taken for granted. Our voting system leaves swathes of people feeling powerless and fuels disillusionment, which can have dangerous consequences. Change can't wait. We need #PRnow.

Britain's voting system dates back to the 19th century. First Past the Post is outdated, unfair and increasingly delivers results that have little to do with what the country wants. This #DemocracyDay, I'm calling for Proportional Representation - a fair system where every vote counts. #PRnow

Today is International Day of Democracy. In the UK, we routinely elect Gvts with a minority of votes, and most of our parliament is entirely unelected, with a bloated upper chamber stuffed with patrons and a few clerics. We need major constitutional reform but have few turkeys voting for Xmas.

Great to see coverage of the All Party Parliamentary Group @appgfairelections.bsky.social, and its plan for a National Commission on Electoral Reform. The proposal provides a realistic pathway for lasting change - transforming the way we do politics.

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

I also suspect that many of the "e-bikes" referred to in the article are unlicensed, untaxed electric motorbikes.

Educational courses in prisons have been shown, repeatedly, over the years to reduce recidivism and increase individual's chances of finding employment and building lives after leaving prison. Cutting those courses is fundamentally counterproductive. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Tomorrow is International Day of Democracy. When parties with just a third of the vote are winning big majorities our democracy is broken. MPs have a plan to fix it. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

Today, September 13, women in England march through the streets of London against racism and fascism. #AntiRacismDay #Resist #Pinks

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law. These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.
