The NHS was founded 78 years ago today. It was built after the devastation of the Second World War when the country was bankrupt - but when the people demanded a society built on fairness and dignity for all. Today, we must defend the right to healthcare and rebuild our social security system.

Happy 78th Birthday to the NHS 🥳 Nye Bevan’s vision of universal healthcare became reality on 5 July 1948 "Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community"

Ian Fleming might have made the world’s first trillionaire this evil, but only Philip K. Dick could have made him such a pathetic drug-addled loser, desperate for attention and adulation but incapable of human relationships, and now terrified to go out in public.

If there is anyone in the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran who doesn't have The Art of The Deal on their nightstand and who doesn't laugh their balls off every night before drifting into restful sleep, they're just not living their best life.

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

Alan Moore’s latest novel has an acknowledgements section in which he thanks the universe, a moon goddess, and a python god. it also includes this line: “Existence is a stupefying stroke of luck and we should all feel grateful to be part of it, even when much of it's on fire and overrun by Nazis.”

FPTP is like The One Ring of politics in the UK. They know they need to destroy it, but once it's in their hands they think "Why shouldn't we keep it? We can use it for good!" and then everything goes dead-Boromir-shaped

Morning! Let’s all do our best today not to vote for racists.

As people get ready to vote in the Scottish Parliament election please be careful of the spoiler operation which is 'Independent Green Voice'. They are listed second on the regional ballot paper in South of Scotland with the Green Party further down. IGV is a right-wing spoiler operation.

"If only the Tsar knew"

I rarely post about politics but as in America, I'm worried a lot of people are being misled by devious people. Whatever you do this week, please don't vote Reform. Only an ignorant, racist, bigoted lamp post lover would do so and iit would be very bad! Vote for one of the other parties.
