The evidence is everywhere... This guy called out “Who elected him?” at a local proclamation of the accession of King Charles III - police arrested him... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

In 2018 we left the EU's Water Regulation body and their massive fines. Then sewage dumping increased 20x. Before Brexit we had some of the cleanest water in Europe. Now it is by far the dirtiest.

The UK has 2.5 hospital beds per 1000 people. Germany has 7.8, France has 7.2 Both Germany and France spend about an extra 40 bn per year on their health service. Austerity and privatisation have caused our NHS crisis. No more please.

It's never been about the money. It's about class warfare. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Sewage spills considered illegal by the European Union are getting worse in Britain after Brexit, The i Paper has found inews.co.uk/news/beaches...

Curse of Private Equity PE has devoured water companies, transport systems, communications networks, power providers, schools/hospitals through the PFI scheme. Govts are handing GP surgeries, dental services & the NHS to it. Result will be the same. Govts serve money not people. archive.ph/N5eKT

Wishing a happy new year to all the people who remained silent on genocide because it was better for their career to do that. You people are the real heroes of our time x

The World Bowls Tour has banned Israel from competing at their championship. Like if this is right. RT if Israel need to be banned from all Sporting competitions.

Time for the UK to do the same.

Oh the shade!

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Prepayment meters, mostly used by the poor, cost UK households more than 30% of income in winter. Leaving little for other essentials. Poor punished by low wages/benefits, high cost of living, profiteering. Govts do little to address causes of poverty. www.theguardian.com/money/2024/d...

UK govt wants people to save more for private pension. How? Real average wage is lower than in 2008, rich have got richer. 50% of the population own less than 5% of wealth; the poorest 10% own 0.02%. Is it redistribution or trickle-down? Watch the Minister's reply www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltDG...

We are mugged. More than a third of water bills service debt & dividends; leaks not plugged, sewage dumped. 50% at Wessex Water. Water companies paid £85bn dividends, borrowed £60bn. OFWAT approved huge hike in bills. Govt won't end the privatisation scam. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...

"[Their funding needs to be made clear, particularly] when it is relevant to the subjects under discussion — for example, climate change, given how the fossil fuel industry has been found to fund some of these organisations. And if a think tank objects, they simply shouldn’t be invited on"

TLDR - Their politicians have been bought/threatened into silence.

Elon’s politics are disturbing.

Spare me the political opportunists that always rear their ugly heads after an act of terrorism, ensuring, in their own grisly, self-serving, hate-filled ways, that there will always be more acts of terrorism in the future.

Argh just had another ‘the NHS is terrible’ person ranting at me, presumably because they feel equipped to do this after absorbing a load of bile from a billionaire-owned newspaper. News flash- the NHS has been intentionally decimated by politicians. There’s nothing wrong with the NHS’s model.

The Real BBC ‘Impartiality Crisis’ Is Its Constant Platforming of Hard Right Tufton Street Think Tanks bylinetimes.com/2024/12/21/b...

We’re never going to fix the NHS when campaigners are labelled as ‘firebrands’ or ‘outspoken’. I’m so fed up of turning up at social things and being described like this by people introducing me. I’m not a firebrand. I’m the tamest person you’ll ever meet. I just want people to receive good care.

Farage posted on X👇🏼to capitalise on 4 tragic deaths & 200+ injured in German terror attack BUT Der Spiegel reports attacker sympathised with Germany's FAR RIGHT Alternative for Germany party.. Nige didn’t expect that❗️ We had #FarageRiots MPJo Cox murdered bc of #FarRightTerrorists #FarageIsATumour

The dogma of “private good, public bad” that has captured our politicians for ­generations, is out of date. We can’t leave everything to corporations. They will always put shareholders first, not communities or our national security. That’s why it is time for change. It’s time to back Britain.

They've ennobled furious gonad Toby Young, who demanded the Tories launch his money-saving Free Schools idea, then took 9 years to submit accounts, which proved his money-saving idea cost 10x as much as the system it replaced.

Trying to imagine pitching this movie 50 years ago: “So this guy from apartheid goes to America and cons his way to collecting half a trillion dollars and buys a President with it. Then he starts to order Congress around from his computer which is actually a portable telephone.”

It’s bad enough former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been allowed to spout his absolute boll**** about “Brexit saving lives” unchallenged on UK news shows - now he’s traveling the world repeating it! Let’s stop him rewriting history - share these actual FACTS youtu.be/pAm62GE6pi8?...

Privatisation has worse outcomes, is more expensive, and is less efficient. Renationalise the NHS now. Nationalise water and energy now. Nationalise transport now. Renationalise education now.

Truth

Privatisation is a catastrophic failure. In fact, it's blatant daylight robbery. Nationalise water now.

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

England govt & regulators broke the law by being too lenient on sewage dumping water companies, says environment watchdog. They protect companies and capital, not people. Water companies have 1,100 criminal convictions, still allowed to control industry. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs, whatever.”

Wessex Water’s Malaysian owners under investigation for corruption Won't happen in England, Govts protect companies Wessex is serial offender, dumps sewage in rivers, paid £78m dividend last yr, £3bn debt; 47 criminal convictions; but no investigation. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-w...

Michael Moore just re-released his Oscar-nominated doc “SICKO” about our cruel, broken for-profit 🇺🇸 health care system and lack of Universal care, saying the anger people are feeling is justified. On YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbEQ... #MedicareForAll

This is absolutely shocking. It just can’t go on

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

What do you think about this?🚨

Lee Anderson is getting absolutely blasted on here, but you know that say: you win some you lose Somme.
