An @Age-Uk.bsky.social report shows healthy life expectancy has fallen by 2 years. Good food, warm homes and active and purposeful lives are out of reach for far too many in the UK — and it is a matter of emergency. #PublicHealth | #HealthJustice

It's very strange that this is being covered as a funny story about the president of France having to call POTUS about not being able to get to his motorcade. Reverse the rules with our president in any other country and I'm sure it would be covered in a completely different way.

Why is this not bigger news? #Discuss youtu.be/bAOk1fZFHN8?...

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

@richardjmurphy.bsky.social Hi Richard, saw this and thought of you. I’m sure I’ve heard you quote alternative stats to this chap. Care to comment? youtu.be/oO25ZkMjG10?...

Hello, good evening and fuck Israel! Well, it looks like the end of an era for me over on X. I'm done there. I won't be opening another account after they banned my final one and took off with a year's worth of subscription money. Cunts. So I'm here for the duration. #Dollidarity 💋❤️💦🦫✌️☮️🍉

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Saturday from 6 on @lbc - - specialist mental health A&Es - what difference would they have made when you or a loved one had a crisis? - 5 years on from George Floyd - what progress has been achieved by BLM? - Why have young women been written out of the political story of their generation?

“Research has shown that the UK has prosecuted 23 times more people for benefits offences than tax offences. This is despite the value of tax fraud being nine times higher than benefits fraud.”

The Johnson/Harries *strategy* was a CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.

Ben Cohen is leading by example. We need more individuals with influence to speak up for Gaza.

UK’s 50 richest families hold more wealth than 50% of population, 34m people. 16m people live in poverty. Average real wage unchanged since 2008. Rich buy political parties and legislators; weaken democracy; pollute more. Must reduce inequalities, redistribute. Tax the rich.

Corporate Welfare. Centrica, owner of British Gas, makes massive profits by ripping off people. It wants more subsidies and guaranteed profits from gas storage. Privatisation empowered companies to hold govts/people to ransom.

BREAKING: Over 100,000 Protest in The Hague for Gaza. This is one of the largest protests in The Hague in 60 years.

Organisers of today’s protest reckon 400k people were there. This is roughly in keeping with past marches for Palestine which have been about 300k. Media saying ‘tens of thousands’. Met police will only confirm 20k. Aerial footage appears to show at least 100k. You decide…

Several sources who were present have confirmed around 400k people were on the streets of London today in solidarity with Palestine. Can only find it reported by Yahoo News who say ‘tens of thousands’ of protestors.

NHS England waiting list increases for the first time for 7 months 7.4m appointments for 6.2m people. Terrible Tory legacy will take long time to eradicate Govt must expand NHS capacity. Handing contracts to private sector - 30%-40% profit margin, money buys less, fewer people treated.

‘We will end and reverse privatisation in the NHS in the next Parliament.’ – Labour Manifesto, 2019. #CouldHaveHad & #WhyWeWereStopped

‘We will abandon the Tories’ plans to raise the State Pension Age, leaving it at 66. We will maintain the ‘triple lock’ and guarantee the Winter Fuel Payment, free TV licences and free bus passes as universal benefits.’ – Labour Manifesto, 2019. #CouldHaveHad & #WhyWeWereStopped

‘We will end the unfairness that sees income from wealth taxed at lower rates than income from work. VAT is a regressive tax that hits the poorest hardest and we guarantee no increases in VAT.’ – Labour Manifesto, 2019. #CouldHaveHad & #WhyWeWereStopped

Isn’t the easier way around the cheap immigrant labour problem more easily curtailed by bringing back lost union power? All the Union powers lost under Thatcher and Blair, and have been the main reason for deteriorating living standards for the working classes since. #PoliticalRepresentation

The 6th richest country and the lowest state pension in western Europe. Utterly disgraceful and disgusting.

UK food shops report ‘massive’ rise in pensioner shoplifting. Poverty forces people to do desperate acts Full state pension less than 50% of min wage, loss of winter fuel payment, unchecked profiteering. Govts perpetuate poverty with low wages, benefit cuts. Align state pension with living wage

Does anyone think that the reason the UK is unable to recruit the numbers of care workers required, is that they get paid too much? Why is Osborne’s misleadingly named National Living wage, still in place at a rate you can’t live on without at least 40 hours a week?

The government is yet to respond to our call for a public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the war on Gaza. This shocking report could explain why. When will the government come clean about the reality of arms exports to Israel?

Any government that will let this 'gentleman' or his colleagues land in or fly over their jurisdiction, are collaborators in a long list of crimes against humanity. www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-ea...

Labour had the choice to go left economically, but for reasons of funding and suit purchases decided to go right. How’s that project working out?

No extra money for NHS staff and teacher pay rises, warns UK Treasury. Pay review body to recommend 4% pay rise, govt says 2.8% or there will be cuts. It is more austerity. Workers hit with real pay cuts for years. Can't build economy on poverty.

You will NEVER have peace again elon. We will NEVER stop our pursuit of your fortune until you are as poor as the people you attacked.

Millions of Britons brace for across-the-board bill rises in ‘awful April’. Unchecked profiteering destroying lives. 16m people live in poverty. More will be added by benefit cuts. Wages taxed at higher rate than wealth. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined.

Campaigners have described the findings, obtained by The i Paper through freedom of information laws, as a “shocking revelation” and urged the Labour to take bolder steps to avoid “this disastrous situation next year”.

Wealth is moving to the wealthy still. #TaxWealthNotWork Via @richardjmurphy.bsky.social youtu.be/Y9Iw1WMSZNs?...

We're heading back to Victorian levels of poverty, nobody owns their own homes, you work for a lifetime to retire at 70 into a life where you can barely survive. While the millionaire Workhouse owners are now billionaires, soon to be trillionaires, but they won't pay any tax.

Here we go. The establishment are terrified of Gary Stevenson because hes connecting to millions in a way that rarely happens. They'll try and do anything to undermine him and will make stuff up, no doubt. Don't believe the billionaire owned press. They are not your friend. (dailymailonline:)

Tax the rich. Welfare not warfare. A politics of care, compassion and community. #WeDemandChange
